 In the past year we've adopted five of stray cat Mercy's kitties from two different litters (she drops her cats off here then sneaks away before I can catch her to get her fixed). She moved her new litter of SEVEN in a week-and-a-half ago.

Update 12/08:
Got Mercy fixed and she left; I found out later she kinda belonged to some folks across the street that thought it was just fine that she was breeding strays like crazy. I didn't tell them that I had her fixed :-)
As for the seven, they too are fixed and are still with me!

Ahh love that shot. Your photo reminds me of the feral cats my mom use to feel pity for, and feed out here back door. We tried to catch them but they were always way too afraid of humans. The kittens we were able to catch got adopted out. The others eventually wandered off.

Mercy is no dumb cat. She knows where to bring her brood for the best of care. By the way, the kittens in my double-take challenge shot? My sister and her hubby still have them.

I hope you got this cat spayed, set a trap out, with food and whisk her away to the vet, this is how we end up with overpopulated shelters and no one wanting to adopt

Awwww. Love these kinds of shots. I'm always surprised how each kitten in the litter can each have a different color/design. Our cat had 6kittens, 2passed away before reaching a week's age. The other 4 are all different colors. I see you have 2 calico ones. Wish we got an orange one too.
