In May some people moved away leaving behind thier very sweet, very pregnant, cat. Being the insane cat lady that I am I took her in. a few weeks later she gave birth to 4 kittens in my Sun-porch.

So, I took to fostering her and her babies for the summer. I found  homes for 2 of them right away. We figured it would be harder to place the Mom than the kittens, and decided we would keep her and adopt out the kittens.

Well, finding homes for the kittens turned to be much harder than we thought. We still have 2 of them.

Last month I had an appointment to get the Mom fixed, but she had run off, so I had to cancel. By the time I was able to get her back in, she was pregnant again. 

So, now the Vet is doing a very risky surgery, spaying a very pregnant cat. She will be there for 2 days so that they can make sure she is ok. I feel really bad about it, but, I know that I cannot find homes for anymore kittens, and once she is fixed, she will have a stable home with us.

I hope everything goes alright for the mama cat and her babies.  It's good of you to try and take care of her. 

I realize now I wasn't 100% clear on what was bring done here, until now (call me dense).  What a very difficult decision you had to go through.   I'm glad the mother is alright.

  Poor little sweeties.  Hang in there Jenn! 

  for the lady at the shelter...I'll be hoping they take your kitties and find them good homes!

Luck, luck, luck!!!  I'll keep good thoughts!
