Someone threw away this little female, she just showed up a couple of months ago. Starved literally and for affection to, so you know that this is her home now. I named her Sadie.
While I was staining my porch swing, my bench, and the cellar door Sadie was with me on the porch. She meows a lot so I didn't think much of it. I looked down close to the pillar and the climbing hydrangea and wondered where the water was coming from and there was Sadie licking a kitten! She was giving birth on the bare cement of the porch. Poor little Sadie. I put her in a box lined with a towel and kept her by me the rest of the afternoon on the porch while I worked. She gave birth to 4 more.
I found it amazing that she totally trusted me to pick her up, handle her kittens while I tried to make her comfortable; and all she did was purr at me.
I put her on clean towels in her box with her kittens in a large crate in the garage that has a litter box, food and water where I hope she will be safe until morning. I just hope the racoons don't prowl around in there tonight.
I'll try and get some pics to share tomorrow--
