Awwwwwww.

Brian & I have noticed this black female cat walking around the neighborhood for the last 2 weeks. We didn't know if she was abandoned or not and I just named her Salem, of course. Brian came home from a bike ride and said he saw "Salem" in one of the townhome's that's still under construction, and she's with her kittens. What?! Kittens? I went to go check it out and she has
7 kittens. There is one white one, full black one and then the rest are tiger striped. Of course the animal shelters are all closed right now and no one to call. If I call the police dispatch they would just say to call the humane society tommorow or animal impound. Of course I want to keep one but with our crazy cats now, that just wouldn't fly. When I first approached "Salem" she was very aggressive and then after I stayed with her, I was able to pet her and pick up her kittens. Brian thinks the kittens are only 2 or 3 days old being they have their eyes open but can't really walk right now. The mama cat reminds me so much of my Salem, she's very soft, with a nice jet black shiney coat. She's very pretty. She loved me petting her while her kittens were playing or she was feeding them. She started to purr later on and was so content. I left some water for her overnight, and we gave her some food. She was really hungry and thirsty so she and the kittens should be ok until tommorow. Before I go to work tommorow I'll check on her and then call the humane society to pick them up.

Mama and the kittens are safe. Animal Control picked her up this morning and then they are bringing her into the humane society. I wanted to keep one so bad!
