We succeeded and got mom and both kittens. The little calico - Garbo is gorgeous and Gable has the most interesting markings. They both seem to have an URI (not unexpected) but mom looks really healthy. I'm thinking she was a dump and not a feral. We will do our best to find homes for all 3. They're off to the vet in the morning along with Chowder who is getting neutered.


Momma



Gable and Garbo


Any takers?

Gable has the most michievous eyes! Garbo is soft and sweet...and that face on the mom cat. What a beautiful girl! The shape of the line of her upper eyelid. BEAUTIFUL!

I hope you find wonderful homes for them!

What beautiful mom and babies, Lisa!!! Congratulations on getting all 3 of them! That's wonderful that they don't seem feral and will be adoptable! YAY!!!! Good job!!!

It was the weirdest thing tonight. We had noticed her weeks ago and she would hide out in the field in some tall greenery. Then we didn't see her for weeks (probably delivering) and thought maybe she was a neighborhood cat that just came over for visits. Then she showed up again and lo and behold with 2 babies. Whenever she would see our car lights she would run under the ticket booth (first photo with Gable) and not come out till we left.

Tonight she came right up to me and let me touch her. It was UNBELIEVEABLE. I had caught both babies with my hands and put them in the carrier. Put the trap up to it and set it. Mom walked in there but not far enough to trip it, so I walked over and pushed the trap door down!

We've been in the bathroom with all 3 and she is the most loving cat. She's letting us handle the babies and lays next to us. Why do people do this to the innocent cats?

I'll update all after the vets visit tomorrow.

Oh how sad that she is such a friendly cat and someone just dumped her. GRRR!

They are gorgeous and very lucky to be in your care now.

Tell that mama cat to scoot her butt on over to Louisiana.

[Prairie Purrs]

What a lovely family! Mama is such a beauty--if I didn't have a houseful, I'd want to scoop up all three.

Lisa, I'm so glad to hear that you were able to trap all 3 of them and that they aren't feral and are adoptable.I'll never understand why people dump cats and kittens like this either.
The kittens sure are cutie pies and the mother is gorgeous so I'm sure that they won't have any problems finding wonderful new homes. I'm at my limit with limited space and finances so I won't be able to adopt from you this time. It would be wonderful if another PT'er could adopt them though. Good luck at the vets tomorrow and please continue to keep us updated about them.

Oh, they are all amazing! such beauties. I cannot imagine anyone dumping that momma and her babies (or just the momma).

The more I hear about people, the more I like my cats.

So glad to see the three of them. I wonder how many kittens she had originally? You will never know.

I know that some cats run away. I have had two leave the house (not in the past 20 years) and never return. Thus I keep them inside with limited outside time.

My biggest peeve is that these cats never get spayed or neutered. That to me is much worse than letting the cat outside. Some cats survive the outdoors nicely.

People should be strung up for not spaying and neutering their pets. No wonder the shelters often do the operations when the pets are so young.

I just don't get it.

All of you folks who do the rescues are so appreciated.

We wondered that also! Yes, it's a crime when they don't spay or neuter and just let roam. I do believe she was dumped cause it was like she was begging for us to help her. They're all so precious and I pray we can find them some good homes!

[catlover4ever]

Lisa, good work yet again. They are adorable....I want you to know that I have melted into a pile of mush looking at those babies and Momma is just beautiful.

[Killearn Kitties]

That is great that you got them all on the first attempt. Mum is absolutely gorgeous, no wonder they are such beautiful babies!

[Freedom]

Such beauties, and to think what someone did! However, I do think Gable looks more like a Marx Brother!!!

[Randi]

Congratulations! Great job Lisa! The mom looks so much like Fister's mom, except for the longer hair. The babies are just too cute! Do you have any idea how old they are? In Denmark is it recommended that kittens stay with their mom until at least 12 weeks old - I think it's because their immune system will be stronger, and also to learn a few tricks from their mom. Will you try to get them adopted together?

Good luck on the vet vist!
