Kirby: A Lonely Cat Aching For a Home
20.09.11
As a teenaged mother, Kirby was brought to the local county take refuge with her three young babies.
In the short time she was there, the volunteers helped her tend her young children, fed her, and cared for her. The county shelter was not the paradigm place for a mom with three babies. A staff member at the shelter saw the gloom in her eyes and that was when we received the call.
It was the middle of March and it was still cold out; we hadn’t expected kitten edible so soon. We were very wrong. East County Animal Dwelling had called us, the Valley Humane Society , to tell us about Kirby and her immature babies who were just days old. We were ecstatic because it was our first “mom and babies” of the flavour. This meant that kitten season was finally upon us!
Our Animal Trouble oneself Manager started calling her foster families and seeing who was interested. We got a swift response from a new foster who wanted to get her feet wet in the kitten fostering universe. We knew this family would do a great job and we couldn’t wait to go pick up Kirby and her kids. Curtly after confirming the foster family, our Animal Care Overseer drove down to ECAS with a kennel in tote. When she arrived, she met a bonny brown tabby no older than a year, with three small kittens. There were two brown tabbies and one Siamese.
