I picked these two up today early in the morning. The family saw them being born last night, but left the babies lying in the yard without protection thinking the queen would come back for them. There were five- now there is just one. Three were dead before I arrived, the fourth one, who I called Angela died about 5 minutes ago in my hands. She was so cold, they both are- despite all I did to warm them up. Her sister is still here with us. I am sorry, but I give her odds of survival to be quite low. She is eating and peeing- but she is barely moving. She may even be a he- it is way to early to tell.
Please send what you can my way- God knows where to put it where it does the most good. I am feeding this wee one about every half-hour. I can tell she is missing her sister already as she has crawled off the heat block several times looking for her- God bless this little one- she/he needs it-
The queen was found behind the barn dead-she died birthing the last baby 🙁
little wee one
Purrrrayers for the little ones, and the momma, too.
So so sad, hope the little one makes it. Did this family care for mom cat, or did she just wander in? My heart breaks for her.
Mom was just a barn cat
The poor mum cat knew the births had killed her and the instinct to die alone was stronger than that to care for her children, which she couldn’t have done anyway. Maybe this little one will survive to represent her lost family.
Awwww poor fur babies! Praying! Praying! Praying!
Sad to think ‘just a bar kitty’ doesn’t get more help. To go through birth and die, and then have your efforts be almost for naught, as your babies have almost all died. If she had been lucky enough to be a house kitty, doted on by a loving family, she likely would have been spayed and lived a long, happy life. Makes me feel quite depressed thinking of many cats are in this predicament.
