A timid cat was taken into Brisbane, Australia’s Best Friends Felines, a cat shelter. She resisted attempts to contact her since she was so terrified and heavily pregnant.
The cat called Estee gradually warmed to the idea of touch with time and tolerance. “Once she did, it became obvious that she enjoyed being petted because she pressed her head into my fingers while purring, kneading, and dribbling.
She would, however, only consent to pats when she was elevated (her safe spot) “Felines shared their best friends.
We all held our breath in the hopes that she would eventually feel more at ease and deliver her babies on the ground.
On a Tuesday, Estee gave birth atop the bathroom vanity. She wouldn’t let anyone help her put her four kittens in a cosy nursery. While devising a strategy to get them to ground level, her foster care provider remained nearby to ensure their safety.
They built a temporary nest next to the vanity before moving the family of five to a more suitable location.
