I picked this little mom and her 2 week old babies up tonight after 10 pm. The mom had been found underneath the crawl space of a home and the grate put back. Someone heard the kittens crying and got them out. This mom apparently had been locked underneath this house for a couple of days since someone had removed the grate and she apparently crawled inside. The whole story is unsure but this little momma and babies might have starved underneath this house!
Needless to say she is so grateful to be safe and loved. The woman who contacted me said that you could pet her but she did not like being picked up at all. I was a bit concerned that she might be a bit feral but I was willing to take her in.
Well, as soon as I reached into the box she and her babies were in, I gently petted her and picked her up. Gave her a little kiss and she began purring immediately. My hubby was there and he began talking softly to her and petting her as well. THis baby was so grateful and immediately started making happy feet / biscuits on my arm. I was nearly in tears and thanking God for such a blessing!
I quickly prepared her some wet food and she gobbled it down. She had 4 babies, all of which are males! (THAT'S wonderful!)
Later, as I was taking the following pictures, she was again making happy feet in my hand. She fell asleep doing this. So, I decided then and there to name her Pattycake!
Please welcome Pattycake and her precious 2 week old little boys!
It never ceases to amaze me how God's creatures truly do respond to our love and truly show their gratitude! Thank you to those of you who have already helped these babies and who have pledged to do so! These little moms and babies need us all!
