We’re thrilled to launch "A Tales of Ten Tails" — a heartwarming series following one very special feline family from rescue all the way to forever homes. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how our foster, volunteers, and medical team work together to raise just one little family who desperately needed us.
It all began when a kindhearted man went above and beyond to rescue a mama cat and her nine newborn kittens from a dangerous work site. After bringing them safely to Whiskers, he sent us this sweet note:
“This is Ryan from earlier with the kittens. I thought of a name for the mama on my drive home — Millie. Our job site is next to Mill Pond in Norwalk, and she was found next to a bunch of Milwaukee tools!”
And just like that, Millie had her name — a brave mama now safe in foster care, where she can nurture her babies in peace.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll share their milestones, mischief, and magic — from tiny paws to big adventures. Please follow our social media accounts for new chapters of "A Tale of Ten Tails"!
Just this one family of ten is a lot to care for and vet. The food to raise a mom cat and 9 hungry kittens to an adoptable age alone is crazy! Plus multiple vet visits for each one, litter, flea meds/dewormers/parasite meds, 10 FIV/FeLV tests, a minimum of 30 vaccines (FVRCP & Rabies), 10 spay or neuter surgeries, etc, etc, etc.... It is thousands of dollars. Every single donated dollar is so important to us here at Whiskers, and the kitties we care so much for.
