After church one Sunday, my husband and I picked up some lunch and went to the local campground to eat. After we had eaten our lunch, I saw a kitten and reported it to the park officer. He said they had been trying to catch her, but she would not let them get close. I knelt down, held out my arms and said, " come here baby." She ran right into my arms.
I gave them my number and called the vet and shelters and started the 10-day notice. I listed her on all the lost and found pet sites and took her to the veterinarian. She only weighed 5 lbs and was not chipped, but an X-ray showed she was about to have 5 kittens at only 6 months herself. So, I took her home and gave her a nesting box, which she loved and settled down in to wait for babies.
She was the most unusual thing, constantly wanting her belly rubbed. Two weeks later, she gave us 5 healthy kittens, and 8 weeks later she went back in heat. Since she wouldn't feed the babies anymore, we went ahead and had her spayed.
