Kitten Season - Hundreds of Stories Told Each Year

Janie and Her Babies

Janie has been the most amazing mother, but the road got a little rocky. Caring for her 5 kittens was not all candy canes and rainbows. Early on, our Veterinary Technician, Guiselle, stepped in and took these guys home to be able to monitor Janie. She was suffering from an infection in one of her mammary glands. This lead to a high fever and a lot of worry. She was held over night by Dr. Pamela Schott who worked her magic to get her through the hard part. Even wrapping her in cabbage (yes, it works)!  Then it was back to Guiselle, the expert midwife. Janie pushed through all of that and continued to raise her 5 babies to be outgoing, healthy, and social young cats. Now, almost at the end of the journey at Father John's the entire family has found new, loving human homes to go to! Each and every one has been vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and so much more. We are so excited for the families who have opened their homes and hearts to a homeless pet.
