MAMA – 11235
Safe - 11-9-2017 Brooklyn Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
*** SAFE 11/09/17 *** Mama is a young, single mom who has unfortunately been separated from her newborn kittens. She ran off when her kittens were being brought in, so she was brought in later that evening. Unfortunately she has a URI so Medical didn’t feel it was best to reunite her with her kittens, so they were placed separately. She’s a very sweet lady who wants nothing more than to find a safe, loving, forever family.
2 year old MAMA has a URI and fever. She is a bit dehydrated and is post partum from having kittens. The shelter suspects she may be the mom to a litter of 2 day old kittens who were brought in separately.
