Mama Charm has really come a long way and has settled in nicely at the rescue since I took her in a few years ago. She was trapped as a TNR by a rescue colleague from my job and brought in to be spayed one day in a trap. And oh my goodness this cat was SO pregnant!!! Poor girl looked like a bowling ball with little toothpick legs. She was ready to give birth at any moment. We alerted the rescuer and she didnāt have a place for Mama Charm to go other than back outside to have her babies. Yaāll know I wasnāt going to let that happen. She was feral, but the nervous feral, not at all aggressive. I offered to take her into the rescue and allow her to have her babies in comfort and quiet. What do you know, Charm gave birth at my house the following day to four beautiful babies! All the babies found amazing homes, and Mama Charm showed content and happiness to the comforts of being indoors, and she stayed at the rescue. Sheās opened up a bit, and I can get a quick tail pet or one back pet during feeding time, but other than that, sheās happy just being there with the other cats. She isnāt an adoptable cat, but sheāll get to spend her days safe, fed, and warm, enjoying catnip, cat beds, toys, and kitty friends for life. She seems happy and that makes me happy. š
