With the way Betsy is drinking, I would have her checked to see if she could be diabetic.

Has your friend checked any of the shelters around her to see if she could get some help for mama and her babies?
Yes, I thought about diabetes, too. Suzie is a rescuer and works w/two agencies, so she's got that part handled as far as help w/altering, etc. but, as I mentioned, she's strapped financially, has a husband on the mend and out of work, 3 girls, 9 cats and is starting nursing school in the fall, so she's crazy busy. She said that this is her last rescue because she's so tired and she needs to devote time to her studies soon. When I moved into this neighborhood 4 1/2 years ago and she saw some of my cats sitting in the window, we became instant friends. She tried HARD to get me to take one of the kittens yesterday but I just can't do it. I know that they'll be placed quickly; they're too darned cute. It's mama Betsy that may be out of luck. One tooth and possibly diabetic? That's the type of cat I would only take when I was actively rescuing, the so-called hopeless cases. I wish I knew how she lost all her teeth.
