We have posted videos from Big Cat Rescue in Florida for years, but who knew that they also have a domestic cat shelter? Recently, two mother cats came into care of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, with ten kittens between them. They all appear to be the same age, and both mother cats care for all the kittens, so it's not all that clear which kittens belong to which cat, although five of them are black like one of the mothers.
There was no way the HSTB could imagine separating this new “Brady Bunch-esque” family, but they needed human help.
Big Cat Rescue and it’s foster program was the purrfect solution for the unique situation. There were plenty of staff, interns and volunteers to watch over and care for the entire brood while they grow. They were brought to BCR on February 16th by assistant manager Karma Lynn Hurworth, better known as Kitten Karma.
The kittens go home with various Big Cat Rescue workers at night for socializing, but during the day, they stay together with their mamas at the Kitten Cabana. Visitors to Big Cat Rescue can watch the kittens through windows. You can follow them on the Kitten Cabana livestream. Read the story of the big family of cats at Cole and Marmalade. -via Fark
