One day, a resident in South Jersey spotted a community cat wandering around in search of food. They started feeding her, and she would come back for more, though she kept her distance. After a while, they noticed she looked like she was expecting kittens. Since they were unable to catch her, they reached out to their local rescue group, Community Cat Club, for help.
Volunteers set up a trap for the cat, but she proved to be quite the crafty feline, managing to avoid capture every time, making it quite the challenge to bring her in.

For a whole year, a neighbor had been looking after Trixie, a stray cat, with the help of CommunityCatClub. Despite their efforts to rescue her, she always managed to slip away. Nonetheless, the kind neighbor made sure Trixie was fed and had fresh water every day. One fateful night, Trixie surprised everyone by waltzing into the neighbor’s home as if she belonged there. She found a comfortable spot to rest, and before anyone knew it, she was giving birth to her kittens.

One evening, Trixie made herself at home in a resident’s house and decided it was the perfect place to have her kittens. Sara Sharp, who founded the Community Cat Club, recounted the event by saying, “That night, she gave birth to four adorable babies.”

After giving birth, a volunteer came to collect the new cat family of five and took them to a foster home. “Trixie, the mama cat, was a bit nervous around us at first, and she still is to some extent, which is understandable as she is taking care of her babies.”

Trixie was cautious at first, staying close to her adorable litter of four in their carrier before eventually feeling at ease in the spacious nursery prepared for them. She happily settled into the comfortable surroundings, complete with a cozy bed and regular meals.
During the initial two weeks, she dedicated herself entirely to caring for her kittens, ensuring they were well-fed and clean, tirelessly looking after them day and night.

When the kittens reached two weeks of age, they opened their eyes and eagerly started trying to explore beyond their nest. Trixie, their loving mother, quickly rushed to their side at the sound of their first meow and watched over them as they took their first unsteady steps. After a playful display of uncoordinated movements, the kittens eventually settled down next to their mother, nursing and kneading contentedly.

At the Community Cat Club, the kittens cozied up in a snuggle pile with their mom, surrounded by her affection. As they grew, their inquisitiveness peaked and their unique characters started to shine through. They stretched their legs and practiced their balance, eager to venture out and discover the sights and sounds of the world around them.

At the Community Cat Club, Trixie lovingly supervised her kittens as they ventured out of their cozy nest for the first time. She kept a careful eye on them to make sure they stayed close by, showing them the ropes and encouraging their playful antics. Each day, the kittens grew bolder and more exuberant under Trixie’s watchful care.

Trixie has really embraced her temporary family at the Community Cat Club. She can be found these days watching her mini versions dash around the room, climbing on just about anything they can find, and playfully attacking her tail with so much energy. The foster family is thrilled by how well this little family is thriving under their care. The kittens are now four weeks old and growing rapidly.

Trixie is enjoying her time with her four adorable mini-me kittens at the Community Cat Club. Once they are old enough to be on their own, Trixie plans to step back from her motherly duties, focus on herself, and find her own little corner to relax in. But for now, she is relishing in the joy of watching her playful kittens, cuddling with them, and listening to their soothing purrs.
