After Many Years, Cat Can Finally Move on from the Rigors of Streets with Kittens and Look for a Perfect Home
After many years, a calico cat can finally move on from the rigors of the streets and seek the comfort of a loving home.
Not long after Duchess, the cat, was rescued from the streets, she went into labor and gave birth to four kittens, two of which looked like her.
The beautiful calico likely had spent her whole life outside, fending for herself against the elements and other animals, having litter after litter. Once she was secured in a foster home, she realized she could finally relax.
“She was probably born on the street and made it this far, which is amazing,” Little Wanderers NYC (an animal rescue) shared.
Estimated to be eight years old, Duchess showed the early signs of cataracts but didn’t let it slow her down. She cradled her babies in the nesting area, catering to their every whim.
Before the kittens’ eyes had even opened, Dreamsicle, the ginger boy, possessed the ferocious attitude of a lion cub.
He hissed and spit at unfamiliar scents, an instinct to protect himself in the wild, and let nothing hold him back.
Duchess was loving and protective of her kittens. After having multiple litters outdoors, she was relieved to care for her last litter in the comfort of a foster home. As she warmed up to the cozy indoor life, the wariness in her eyes melted away.
