A kitten who lived in a sewer pipe was fortunate enough to be confident enough to move closer to a family, so that her kittens could have a chance to thrive in life.
Earlier in the summer, Spokane, Wash., resident Jamie Myers was on a camping trip with her family when they suddenly saw something strange.
Her 10-year-old daughter observed in the distance a small cat that was wandering under the road, right in the pipe.
Jamie’s family made the quick decision to look into trying to find the small abandoned cat because they are foster volunteers and animal lovers.
To Jamie said: “To find this mysterious cat who was in the wrong spot, we leapt out of the RV and hurried back to the route we entered. We discovered a drainage pipe a few hundred meters back. We could see two little eyes staring at us there.”
Obviously the pipe was not the right place for an abandoned animal to take refuge. They knew they had to help the feline. Jamie and her daughter tried to coax her into some food. She was quick to agree and devour the food in minutes.
Jamie said: “It might well be the easiest rescue we’ve ever done. We left the little can of food out. She didn’t hesitate to eat. She came right out and showed us how hungry, beautiful, skinny she was.”
Shortly after the animal came out of the pipe, the family was able to discover that through its bones and flaccid skin it was harboring a miracle in its womb.
The adorable creature chose to accompany the family about the camp out of kindness. She was very appreciative and wanted to be by her side.
Jamie said: “She let us pick her up and take her to our RV where she stayed for the weekend. She didn’t hesitate to sleep in bed with us. Snuggling up on the couch with us showed us her gratitude to be save.”
It was very likely that the kitten was abandoned in the drain, because no one claimed her. Perhaps she lived there for a long time. Fortunately, all of that was about to change, as Jamie’s family picked her up from camp and made the decision to bring her home.
Over the next few days, the cat named Caki, became incredibly accustomed to her new foster home and was making rapid progress. Caki stood by Jamie’s daughter and showered her with lots of hugs. Now she no longer had to worry about anything, just be happy.
James stated: “A few days after we brought her home, she told us her secret and gave us six more children as a gift. We have had tremendous fun assisting her in providing a secure, caring, and joyful home for her children.
Caki’s new family helped her bottle-feed her infants throughout the day.
Caki was able to nurse all of her infants after she was more stable and well-fed, and she committed herself to taking care of all of their requirements.
James stated: “She was an incredible mother. She always knew where her kids were and looked out for them to the best of her ability. She spoke to them frequently and incessantly.
Caki taught her kittens to eat and drink water like a big cat, constantly lovingly smothering them and giving them many mandatory baths.
The kittens were thriving and growing by leaps and bounds. When they were old enough to be adopted, they quickly found wonderful forever homes.
Jamie commented: ”Two of them even stayed with our vet. Now is the time to find this sweet mommy her forever home.”
When they found Caki, she was definitely not having a good time in her life. However she was doing her best to survive and save her kittens.
Thankfully, she is now a joyful, healthy, lively, and incredibly affectionate cat. She grew a lot and is now prepared to be adopted by a caring family.
James stated: ”We believed we were rescuing Caki that day. We had no clue it would end up being seven lives.”
There is no doubt that Jamie and her family changed the life of Caki and her little kittens. Now she just hopes to get adopted as soon as possible.
