It was a tedious task for the mother to feed all her seven kittens to keep them in good health and on the other hand the volunteers had to ensure that the mother too was in the pink of her health so that she could go on feeding her kittens. It was important for her to gain weight and to do so, food and water had to be adequate.

Luckily, the vets and volunteers ensured that the mother cat carried good health throughout the feeding time.

It was difficult for the team to let go of all the kittens as they had now found attachment in caring for them and watching them grow. The most difficult part for Jacqueline was to send the mother cat to her owner. Though she knew it would happen someday she was not ready to let her go. With a heavy heart, she called the owner and handed over the cat to her. In a small corner of her heart, she was also happy for the mother cat as she was going to the home that was always hers. The owner of the cat was thrilled to have her pet back in a healthy state.
