Mollie, about 2 or 3 maybe, is another rescue from my mom’s place about 2 years ago. Her and her sister, I believe, were also drop offs. They didn’t like getting close to humans but my mom would still feed them, although it was getting harder for her to do that. Well, Mollie became pregnant and had her litter in an old camper behind the barn. My sister and I rescued her and her babies. I brought them home and set up a ‘nursing station’ in my back bathroom. Mollie felt very secure there because none of my other cats could bother her, as she was still a little scared. But she warmed right up to me and I was able to find a home for all 4 of her babies once they were old enough. A classmate friend of mine told me about a place, which only served Allegan and Kent counties, to get her fixed for free. Come to think of it that is how I got Tiger Tom fixed. But because I don’t live in either county and she does, she offered to take her. At first, I said to just adopt her out. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted her back here. She has shown me how grateful she was to me for rescuing her and her babies. She is one of the sweetest cats I have. Itty Bitty and Toby didn’t like her and would ‘go after’ her often. But she realized if she stays in my computer room then she has ‘control’ and gets after them if they try to come in. She even been getting braver and comes to bed with me. The other usually don’t bother her there as long as I’m there too.
Her sister also had a litter about a week after she did but we couldn’t find them until they were old enough to start wondering out. Had to use a live trap to catch them, as they were all ‘wild’. Took 2 different times, but we got them and I took them to my neighbor’s barn. Her kittens, we discovered were mitten kittens. Last I heard, there is only one kitten – who is a mother herself now – left at that farm. And her babies are mitten kittens also.
I had Mollie put down due to she developed urinary problems. Would pee wherever.
