Help Stevie & Her Kittens!

Donation protected

This is Stevie's story. Stevie is a beautiful cat who was brought to our neighborhood by the next door neighbor's adult son. He'd just moved back in to his mother's house and brought with him a cat he found at his previous location. Naturally, Stevie wasn't fixed and it took no time at all for her to get pregnant. Stevie frequented our porch to have a bite to eat, as we always have food out for the feral river cats, so we got to know her. She had three kittens in a closet of the neighbor's house, and because they failed to provide any flea treatment, they kicked her and her flea-ridden kittens outside on the back porch in a box. One kitten was given away and they kept the other two and then decided Stevie wasn't allowed in the house anymore for failure to get along. I understand people have outside cats, that's fine, but what isn't fine is having outside cats who aren't vaccinated and spayed/neutered. So the inevitable happened. Stevie got pregnant again.


Then it started snowing, winter arrived and it was freezing cold outside. Stevie, as mentioned earlier, frequented our porch and turned to sitting on the back of our wicker furniture, looking in the windows at us. Sometimes pawing the glass. Our hearts melted and we realized she had no shelter and it was our job to provide some. Knowing she wasn't fixed (it was already driving our 6 rescued indoor cats insane) and knowing her reputation of not getting along with others, we made my daughter's room into Stevie's Mother-in-waiting room. There she would be warm and safe, with ample food and water and love if she accepted it. I think she's semi-feral, but having our own semi-feral cat already, Lily, we know to give them space and give love when it's requested. It seems like Stevie has been pregnant forever, like literally forever. Then on April 13th, Stevie had three little kittens.

They're going to live with us because, well why wouldn't they? So we're trying to raise funds to have all of Stevie's kittens fixed (plus another cat Fiona, who showed up at our door this winter) because we've waited long enough for the neighbors to take responsibility. We can't wait any longer. Stevie's oldest kittens who live next door (and eat from our porch) have been killing bats. Bats in this area are known to have rabies. We need to get them fixed AND vaccinated as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for helping us help these beautiful cats who have come into our lives through no fault of their own.
