Mama Mystic, a sleek and petite feline, was rescued just in time at a shelter in Orange County, California. Despite her small build, her pregnant belly was so big that it resembled a big, juicy watermelon. Luckily, the kind rescuers took her in and provided her with a comfortable foster home where she could give birth to her kittens without any stress. It’s a known fact that black cats are often overlooked when it comes to adoption and are usually the first ones to be euthanized, but Mama Mystic’s fate was different. She was able to receive the care and attention she deserved, and her sweet personality made her all the more endearing to her rescuers. As she approached her due date, she continued to enjoy belly rubs and affection from her caretakers.

The new mother cat, Mama Mystic, gave birth to her litter of 14 kittens after a difficult labor. Sadly, only eight of them survived, and five of those were preemies that needed extra care from their foster mom to make it. Mama Mystic remained calm and loving throughout the ordeal and was dubbed the Fabulous Octet after her surviving kittens. Despite being petite, she was incredibly cooperative and even enjoyed head scratches while nursing. With diligent care, all eight kittens slowly gained weight and eventually graduated to an impressive playroom. Mama Mystic was able to take breaks in her own separate area, but she still spent plenty of time with her kittens. She wore special protective shirts when the kittens were fully weaned to prepare her for her upcoming spay day and adoption day. Overall, Mama Mystic was an incredible mother who remained sweet and doting despite the challenges she faced.

Mama Mystic is surrounded by her adorable kittens who are now fully weaned, and she is wearing a special protective shirt. An exciting event has been organized by the rescue where they are offering adoption of these magical darlings. The event is called a “Black Tie Event” and it will be held at a nearby pet store.

These feline beauties have all undergone spay and neuter procedures, ensuring that they will never contribute to the overpopulation of stray cats.
