With the help of the Virginia-based Animal Welfare League of Arlington, a pregnant tabby cat was brought to its foster home.
When she was about two years old, she was quite outgoing, self-assured, and she felt at home right away.
She made friends with the neighbourhood dogs and cat, but she particularly warmed up to Kona, a dog who loves cats and lives for watching after kittens. Freckles, the tabby, approached Kona and wiped her face all over her.
A few weeks later, Freckles gave birth to six stunning, healthy kittens. She immediately began her motherly responsibilities and devoted every waking moment to raising her children.
Asa, her foster mother, gave her the loveliest head bumps and purrs whenever she entered the room. Asa told Love Meow, “Six hungry babies is a lot, but she has been doing wonderful with taking care of them all.”
Kona, the extraordinary kitten nanny, heard the infants leaving the foster room. Knowing that new babies were waiting for her attention, her eyes glowed and her tail twitched with joy.
