They noticed a cat under a fence panel with four kittens. Shortly after getting them indoors, they found one more. Queenie and her kittensTheStrayCatClubVolunteers from The Stray Cat Club had been working tirelessly to help a large colony of cats. Just when it seemed they had rescued every last one, new cats began appearing months later, pulling the team right back into action.They resumed work that Friday night, bringing one young cat to safety. The next day, while continuing their sweep of the area, they spotted a tabby sheltering beneath a broken fence panel in a derelict yard.A closer look revealed she wasn't alone. TheStrayCatClubSometime within the last 24 hours, the cat had given birth to four kittens. The newborns were huddled together on a bed of fallen leaves, twigs, and rocksconditions far from safe for such fragile babies. It was clear that this little family needed immediate help.The mother cat bolted at the sight of people, so the team set up a humane trap and waited patiently for her return. She gave birth to four kittens under a broken fence panelTheStrayCatClubWhile waiting, they kept the kittens warm and safe, supplementing them when needed. Later that day, their patience paid off when the mother was finally secured. "She appears semi-feral, being a queen from the colony, but she may calm with time once she feels secure," The Stray Cat Club shared.After a long day, the mother and her four kittens were safe indoors. TheStrayCatClubBut the rescue efforts didn't stop there. Volunteers continued helping the remaining colony cats, getting them spayed or neutered and doing everything they could to break the cycle of suffering. "For now, this little family is safe, warm, and finally somewhere they can be cared for properly."Just as they thought they had accounted for every kitten, they were in for a surprise. Shortly after arriving in foster care, Queenie gave birth to a fifth kittenTheStrayCatClub"Once Queenie (the mother cat) had settled indoors, she gave birth to a fifth kitten. This tiny one is now called Magic."Magic was significantly behind her siblings, who were twice her weight. But what she lacked in size, she made up for with a remarkable will to live. Her dedicated fosterer provided supportive care to give Magic the best chance to thrive. Magic is much smaller than her siblingsTheStrayCatClub"She's holding steady. Being so far behind her littermates makes things trickier for her, but she's fighting in true little-miracle style."Queenie remained a fiercely protective mother, doting on her kittens with unwavering attention. Though still cautious around people, she seemed to understand that Magic needed extra help. "This little family is warm, safe, and growing well." TheStrayCatClubAt almost two weeks old, the bigger kittens have opened their eyes, eager to take in their surroundings. Magic still can't see, but it won't be long before she joins her siblings and gets her first glimpse of the world.Since their rescue, the kittens haven't missed a single meal, and their round bellies are proof of it. All but one of the kittens have their eyes openTheStrayCatClubEach day, the kittens grow bigger, bolder, and more active. Magic is still waiting for her eyes to open, but she happily rolls around with her siblings, her little paws flailing adorably in the air.Thanks to the compassionate volunteers, this feline family and many others in need will never again have to worry about food or shelter. From now on, they will know only warmth, safety, and love. TheStrayCatClubShare this story with your friends.
