So, here’s a heartwarming tale for you about Katie Lanza and her neighbors, who’ve been showing some serious kindness to a feral cat in their neighborhood for over a year.
When the chilly weather rolled in and blizzards were on the horizon, they couldn’t help but worry about this little kitty’s well-being.
They gave her the name Lipstick and sprang into action to find her, aiming to shield her from the harsh cold.
It wasn’t until five days later that they finally located her – she was trapped beneath a neighbor’s porch. And there, under the porch, they discovered something that tugged at their hearts even more: Lipstick was expecting.
Their determination to rescue her and keep her warm grew stronger than ever.
Weeks of care, attention, and plenty of love followed. Then, on one special night, Lipstick strolled right into Katie’s kitchen.
It seemed like Lipstick was ready to let her human friends help her and her soon-to-arrive kittens.
Two weeks down the line, Lipstick gave birth to a bunch of four adorable kittens.
Katie remembers, “After they were born and Lipstick did her motherly duties, we nestled them into a comfy kitty bed and used a warm cat heating pad to keep them cozy. She’s incredibly sweet, yet fiercely protective.”
“I can gently check on her babies’ weight and ensure they’re nursing properly, but if I linger too long, she gives my hand a gentle tap,” Katie chuckles.
Fingers crossed that Lipstick decides to stick around with Katie, showering her little ones with all the love and care she never had the chance to experience until now.
