it is sad when the mother cat abandons there young. but your caretaker come along and rescused you and the other little ones and raised them to save there lives.. thank you.. i generally get cats / kittens fixed.. i did let a smokey cat have babies and thats how we got salmon over 13 years ago.. but ginger you are one lucky little kitty to get rescued and more power to you.. you are a very pretty kitty and i in my mind sit you in my lap and pet you and feed you treats and a little bit of warm milk.. God Bless you sweet Ginger like in ginger snap cookies.. pat n diane 20121115.0158
