A cat was taken in just days before having kittens. Now, she has a great canine assistant wanting to lend a paw.Goldie and her kittensAsaGoldie, the cat, had been left to roam the streets and fend for herself. She often sought refuge at a neighbor's home to escape coyotes. Eventually, she was found to be pregnant.A veterinarian, who also volunteers for Kitten Rescue Life, heard about her plight and went to visit her. Goldie was so sweet that she "tried to jump into the vet's car" as if she was ready to leave the streets behind."She was rescued by the vet and brought into the rescue's care when she was in the last stages of her pregnancy," Asa, a volunteer with Kitten Rescue Life, shared with Love Meow.AsaAsa welcomed Goldie into her care, providing a safe haven where she could raise her kittens.Goldie made herself right at home as if she'd lived there all her life. She became an instant love bug, cuddling up to her foster mom and filling the room with her rumbling purrs. "She's a total purr bucket."AsaA few days later, Goldie went into labor and welcomed three healthy kittens (Barbara, Bernard, and Angel)adorable mini copies of herself."She's been an absolute doll since she was found, and her personality hasn't changed at all since. She's been the sweetest, most attentive mom to her babies and has been taking amazing care of them. I've been completely hands-off aside from weighing the babies daily."Asa"Goldie is some sort of Manx mix and has no tail, and this new mama is still a baby herself (at about six months old)." Fortunately, this will be her last litter. Like Goldie, Barbara is tailless, while her sibling Bernard sports a full tail, and Angel has a cute little stub.They grew by leaps and bounds, each with a round, roly-poly belly. When they weren't wiggling around, they soaked up plenty of cuddle time with their mom.AsaWith their eyes wide open and ears unfolded, the kittens' curiosity soared. They ventured to the edge of the pen, eager to explore the world beyond."We've officially entered that fun age where they're learning how to walk. There's a lot of crawling going on, but it won't be much longer until we have three monkeys bouncing off the walls."AsaAsa's resident dog, Kona, had been patiently waiting to meet the feline family. "I wasn't planning to introduce Goldie to my furballs (resident animals) for a little longer, but she decided it was time to explore the rest of the house.""She wandered out of the foster room and introduced herself to the residents with a polite nose boop."Kona sat there, lovingly gazing at this cute familyAsaKona, the foster kitten extraordinaire, was instantly smitten with Goldie and her precious trio. "Of course, Kona took this as an opportunity to run into the foster room to finally get a glimpse of the babies."Goldie was surprisingly welcoming and didn't mind an extra paw to help care for her little ones.Asa"She's so loving and trusting and has fully accepted me and even Kona interacting with her kittens. I think she appreciates having Kona around to entertain the babies so she can have some alone time."Whenever Goldie takes a lunch break or enjoys some me-time, Kona happily steps in as the doting sitter, keeping a watchful eye on the kittens.AsaGoldie and her kittens are thriving in foster care. With their enthusiastic canine assistant by their side, each day is an adventure filled with fun and discovery.AsaShare this story with your friends.
