I'd been saying that I wouldn't mind having a cat if one turned up at my doorstep, so was sort of pleased when my husband came home last night and said he thought there was one under our porch.
So this morning, I took a look, and she is plainly PREGNANT. (how'd he miss THAT??!)
Anyway, she's not feral. She's friendly and appears to be in good health. I have four children five and under and can't take on a whole lot of involved cat-care, but am also afraid the shelter will just put her to sleep if I take her in.
She's cute and sweet but otherwise unremarkable, just a sweet lil grey tabby.
We brought her inside so she at least won't have babies under the house. My husband fixed up our Great Pyr's seldom-used kennel as a maternity suite. I've given her a couple cans of tuna and am fixing to go to the store for kitten food...
Any suggestions? I've never really had a cat of my own, let alone a cat in a complicated situation like this.
