9/13/23 – Only about a year old but she led a very abusive life and finally was left in a carrier behind a pet store. Ivy was pregnant and a kind woman who volunteered at the pet store took her in and contacted us. She asked for our help in having Ivy see a doctor to confirm her pregnancy and to make sure she was healthy. That was done with our great medical partners at Orion Animal Hospital. And, last night, I received the following e mail:
“Ivy had 4 sweet babies last night! All different. She is being the best momma to her new kittens and I am so grateful and excited to watch these little ones grow! Your help was paramount in this young cats’ health and the survival of her kittens. My heart is so full! Ivy is being a great mother and all the babies are clean, active, nursing, and vocal. I will keep you posted on their journey. – Erin”
I hope your day is starting with a heart as full as mine from reading this happy update. Here is Ivy and her babies now and when Ivy was abandoned. We have offered to help with medical for mom and the babies when needed. – diana
