Three months ago, a dilute calico cat was discovered inside a carrier left outside Brother Wolf Animal Rescue. Attached to the carrier was a heartfelt message from her previous owner explaining their inability to continue caring for her. The note pleaded for the shelter to provide refuge, with the promise of the cat's good behavior: "My mom can't keep me anymore. Please take me in. I promise I will be a good cat."

Despite the circumstances, the calico appeared to have been well looked after, displaying a strong desire for human affection and companionship. Brother Wolf Animal Rescue shared with Love Meow that she was remarkably friendly from the moment of her arrival.

They affectionately christened the cat Pricilla. However, their astonishment grew when they took her to the vet's office for a routine checkup. During the examination, they were taken aback to discover that the beautiful cat left at their doors had a surprise in store for them—she was pregnant. To confirm their suspicions, they conducted an ultrasound, which revealed the impending arrival of kittens. Reflecting on the situation, they expressed gratitude for Pricilla's presence at the shelter, as her medical examination uncovered severe complications that required immediate attention.

After emergency life-saving surgery, Pricilla and her kittens (a white, an orange, and a calico) made it through the ordeal. The resilient cat mom started healing in a loving foster home while nursing her precious three, Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Pricilla was so pleased to have a kind family to attend to her and a comfortable place to nestle with her kittens.

Throughout the nurturing process, as Pricilla diligently tended to her newborns, her foster family provided unwavering support. They ensured she had ample food, monitored the growth and health of her kittens, maintained clean bedding, and offered continuous words of encouragement.

Pricilla proved to be a remarkable mother, exhibiting exceptional care and devotion to her offspring. She welcomed the assistance and support of her foster family, allowing them to play an integral role in the well-being of her little ones.

Pricilla showered the trio with unconditional love, cuddling them when they napped and responding to their every squeak. She was happy to show them off whenever someone came to visit.

She lit up the room with a "smile" and melted hearts with her sweet, friendly disposition."She is a lovely cat who is always wanting affection."The kittens grew by leaps and bounds in their foster home. By the time they were weaned, their playful and boisterous personalities shone through.

Pricilla began to spend more time with her humans, doing what she loved. When the kittens were old enough to spread their wings and fly, they quickly went to good homes.

Pricilla happily retired from motherhood and was ready to be the center of attention of a very lucky family. She didn't stay at the shelter for long after raising her last litter as she won over the hearts of a lovely family.  From the staff who found her outside to the volunteers who cared for her family, it truly took a village to help Pricilla and her kittens find their happily ever after.
