Don’t forget the moggy mums this Mother’s Day!


This Mother’s Day, we’re reminding cat lovers not to forget mother cats whose kittens have flown the nest. Like many of the human mothers being celebrated on 15 March, the feline mums at Cats Protection have done their fair share of child rearing!

Now we want to help them to relax and enjoy the comfort of a loving home.

One moggy mum in need of a home is one-year-old Zsa Zsa. She and her kittens were taken in by Cats Protection’s Bridgend Adoption Centre in South Wales after being abandoned by their owners when they were evicted from their property.

Zsa Zsa and her young kittens, Ziggy, Zara and Zina, will be available for adoption in a couple of months once the kittens have been reared. Mum Zsa Zsa will be neutered before she is homed to avoid any more unplanned litters.

Centre Manager Sue Dobbs said: “Zsa Zsa is a beautiful girl and she’s doing a great job of raising her kittens despite what’s happened to her in the past. We’re really looking forward to seeing her go to a permanent home once she’s raised her kittens. I’d like to urge anyone thinking about getting a new cat to give a moggy mum a chance.”
