Feral mama cat is so protective of her babies, that her rescuers have to use kitchen utensils to help her care for them!
We spoke to Ivy who told us how she managed to get the kittens into foster care and how Mamaβs doing now

she had 5.
Bless you! That was my mom β€β€ she had two feral kitties with her 20 yrs Melinda and Cheesy. And Morris were staples with us. And Spooky our crooked beak black cat. Cheesy remained like creekside very skiddish but mom was her person she loved her. Eventually she raised 3 generations of kittens. Spook got hit by a car while away at cancer treatment and it destroyed her π’ we never lost one of her babes like them at. She passed few months later. All the kitties eventually left. Singing on to one of the grands she had from for Bella. Rikku. She was always standoffish and shy and losing my mom was hard on her. but toward the end of she was so affectionate. Lost her at 13.5 yrs old. Then the next year 20204 I lost our baby Tidus who we had Seinfeld he was 6 weeks old and. Almost 15 yrs with that amazing boy. I vowed no more fur babes for a while. Just canβt take the heart ache anymore
In terrible shape herself but still a ferociously protective & diligent Mother.π
Thank you to everyone who gives up their own time and money to rescue animals

Thanks to all who helped π
There were five kittens π’ what happened to the 5th one?
Mama done been thru some thangsβ€
Why do people insist that feral cats are not adoptable I took in 30 stray and feral cats over the 20 years now. They resided in my home. They are just shy and harm no one.they only come out from hiding to eat. 20 have passed on over the years
But out of the 10 cats that are left I still have 5 feral cats. One lets me pet him the other 4 still do not but that's okay because as long as they're out of the cold they have a safe warm home they can live the rest of their life safely and comfortably β€β€β€
No Cat should be Feral they donβt do well on their own
You did all you could do..
And SAVED mama β€οΈ π π π β₯οΈ π β€οΈ
Maybe if you wouldnβt have gotten involved they all would have lived
Thank you for keeping her even if she wonβt be able to be adopted out. I take care of strays around my house and Iβm hoping to get a couple of the feral ones comfortable enough with people where they could possibly become adopted to be mousers/barn cats.
Hope she is doing well with you!ππΈ
Thank you β€
Mom been thru a lot!!!
You guys are angels in disguise. God bless you for rescuing fur babies β€β€β€
honestly that blink at the end, she knows.
So adorable!!!! π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°
Damn the pure white ones didn't make it π’
Was one of the kittens not adoptable? They said two were sweet and two died. There were 5 kittens? I must know!!!
Main Coon kitty, so beautiful β€β€β€
poor momma
Went thru the same w/7 newborns & feral mom! All got great homes & βmomaβ is a much loved super mouser at a small horse farm.
She was unable to be a house kitty, too.
But was much worse than this beauty!
I got her fixed up for free at a Vet that helps TnR kitties.
Told them I had a barn lined up. It was the only time I was able to pet her…after she was βoutβ. Even then, she managed to growl. π
God bless that wonderful moma & all her forever homed beautiful babies!

Gila, busuk banget mulyono π©
Thank you for loving her and giving her a caring home with the space she needs, at least for now.
I saw a dark kitten, an orange/calico kitten, and 3 cream colored ones… if 2 of them didn't make it, and u showed Pebbles and Fern, where's the other one?
What a beautiful story.
She's beautiful. God bless you for your love and kindness β€β€β€
What a good mom, so protective of her babies. I bet her only having one good eye contributes to her not warming up (yet). She had to be twice as vigilant to protect herself and her babies. Glad this gorgeous girl will be able to relax now
I had this same situation. Caught her babies first and thankfully she came back and got in the kennel to get her kittens. I kept her in a bathroom with her for babies and she raised them. She was too feral to keep so she went to a home that would let her live on a porch and gave her food and water but she was also allowed to come and go as she pleased. She was giving a good health check and spayed. Her babies all found homes.
Did u fix her eye? π’
She looks a lot like my old kitty π₯Ί
I think of my boy as feral adjacent. He has Very Firm Boundaries and will not tolerate any touch or proximity unless he actively asks. π He's my baby anyway. He's come a long way with food insecurity and trust.
I think my cat Leo had a feral mom. His brother Jack most likely had the feral gene since he ran off while still a kitten . However, Leo is more domesticated so he stayed w/me.π

She is absolutely beautiful. I would love the opportunity to earn the trust of a kitty like that, it can be so rewarding.
Thx for helping mom & her kittens.ππΎπ

Mamaβs been through the wringer, poor baby.
There were 5 kittens, what happened to the other one?
β€β€β€β€β€β€

She's got that there tortie energy, and she's clearly been through a lot, so understandable she's stand-offish. Don't worry, she might be a surprise yet, even if it takes years! Torties are special like that. (AKA insane)
Our feral treasure was named Daisy and she and her boys stayed with us over twenty years…we really miss her (a wild flower needed a name like Daisy)
Oh my gosh. They are so beautiful
Sheβs so beautiful..
Thank you for helping her and her babiesβ€β€β€π
