I didn't bring my carrier with me into the shelter. Why bother? I walked sadly into the back and peered into the cage:
My eyes filled with tears when I saw the cage card still there. She and her babies were alive! 3 Calicos, 2 Tortoiseshell, and 2 orange and white squirmin' kittens!
I started to put this video to music, but the sound of relief and tears were unmistakable in my voice. I decided to leave it. I have no shame.
Tonight? This little family has a chance. Many thank you's and hugs to the foster Mom who came forward and saved her life today.
It was meant to be.

Renee: Thanks for the heads up! It's public now!
Whew! I am relieved along with you.
Thank you Beth and thank you foster mom for saving those beautiful little souls. Wish they could all be that lucky.
What a beatiful mom cat and beautiful story!
I'm so happy to hear this. She looks very young and a little confused but nonetheless content. I wish her all the best with the little family. Keep us posted with pictures as they grow. You are the best....have I told you that lately? :)
Absolutely. FANTASTIC.
We're right there with you, Beth, with the tears of relief and joy. I've been terribly busy and not visiting your blog enough...MUST READ MORE OFTEN, as you do such fabulous, important work, and I am so grateful for human beings like you. Love to you. Thank you for all you do!
PS: This is Shefali :).
Awww, that is fantastic news. We are so glad they have a new home to go to and hope that they will all be happy and healthy :)xx
Gosh that is so terrific. Just goes to show you that it was meant to be. Thank heavens for good people.
Such good news!
I haven't even seen the video and I'm already in tears. So relieved and happy for the mom and her kittens. Thank you for rescuing them and to the foster Mom for taking them in
I'm so relieved she and her little family were still there...but what made me really cry was the other voices, the "save me too, take me out of here" voices in he background. Sorry, it's been a rough day. Lost a senior cat that was only at the shelter (isolation ward) for two days. He never even made it to the adoption floor...sometimes I really, really hate people.~Donna
How wonderful!! That was a great, great rescue day and I for one, was delighted to hear the rescue song again! :-)

Look at those kneading paws! What a lovely family. Thank you so much to everyone involved in their rescue.
It is sad that more people don't understand how important it is to spay and neuter...but we are SO HAPPY that this family is safe with you and their new foster family!!!
Rescue Day for an entire family, hooray!
This story just made my day!
