Gemma Mama

Gemma

6 or so years ago we trapped some weened kittens from a Feral Mama.

Gemma was one of them.

Back then, we thought you had to wait until the cat was 6 months old for spaying/neutering.

Not so.

Gemma got pregnant at 4 months old.

She was way too young and had an inflamed mammary gland

so there was no terminating the pregnancy.

We were VERY worried about her and so was our Vet.

Gemma

One night, she jumped on the bed purring and rubbing against us.

Then she started sniffing at her back-end and

almost like chasing her tail,

she started spinning around.

I caught a glimpse of a small shape fly out of her back-end

and realized she had just given birth.

She had no idea what was going on back there!

Gemma’s kittens, Emmitt and Zoey

Luckily, that small shape did not fly off the bed!

Gemma took her kit into a little tent we had made for her.

She gave birth to her second kitten a while later.

Everyone, including Gemma was healthy and fine.

I think that night was when my hair started turning gray!

Emmitt

She had two sweet kittens who we love so very much, above is her Emmitt.

Zoey

This is her Zoey.

And that is the story of how Gemma became Gemma Mama.
