This is Momma Trixie. You might have noticed her super cute stubbed nose kids…. Travis, Tricia, Traci, and Tessa. They are fan favorites at the shelter because of their super cute poses, bubbly dispositions, small stature. Well, they get that from their momma. Trixie weighs in at a little over 4lbs. Yes, you guessed it! That is kitten sized! We don’t even get the kittens spayed or neutered until they are 3lbs, and here is this momma raising four kids right around that mark.
To say that she has been excellent is an understatement. She has remained sweet and calm and one of the very best mommas. She even taught her kids manners. And to think such an amazing cat could have had a much different life outside. Trying to raise her kids all on her own without medical care, proper food or shelter. A momma this small would make an easy target to predators and kids left to starve on their own.
Instead of that, she lives a good life indoors where it is safe. We have given her the space she needed to raise them. She knows it too. She has been a very pleasant guest at Chez Scoop. We just have one last promise to fulfill…….. a home to call her own. We have to find forever humans that will appreciate all her love has to offer. Humans that can’t imagine life without her. I promised her on intake that she would be Someone’s pet one day.
So this week’s story should be a feel good one soon hopefully. Keep an eye out for an Until then, we are in need of kitten wet food. As fast as the nursing cages get empty, they get filled just as quickly. The kittens calls are coming in droves. So if you can help us with kitten wet food, money for vetting, vaccines, testing, flea treatments, etc, we would greatly appreciate it. Our medicine cupboards haven’t been stocked in a long time, which is worrisome. We are just keeping the bare minimum until we get through this stretch! Thank you all, and thank you for just reading her story. Writing from their side truly puts it into perspective.
