Foster Cat Chose The Most Awkward Place To Give Birth To Her Kittens
Mayhem arrived at the Humane Society heavily pregnant, and the staff knew she needed a foster home fast. The plan was simple, give her a quiet place to settle in, but the scared cat had other ideas and quickly made herself impossible to find.
After escaping her kennel, she disappeared into an unfinished storage room and then shot up into the ceiling, leaving Emily and her family scrambling to figure out where she had gone. Before long, tiny meows started coming from above, and the house turned into an unexpected kitten rescue scene.
What happened next was messy, strange, and somehow even more dramatic than anyone expected.
Mayhem eventually came out of hiding, and not long after, Emily and her family began hearing little meows. They realized that Mayhem had given birth up in the ceiling.
That is not where anyone expected the kittens to arrive.
The family had to figure out a way to safely get the newborn kittens out of the roof.
"I called my technician, Rebecca, and her husband, Kurtis, who is a construction foreman," Emily said.
"Of course, my husband was out of town!" she continued. "Rebecca and Kurtis came over and started drilling holes."
"We found three kittens immediately and reunited them with Mayhem. We thought all the kittens were found and safe until we heard another meow in the wall!"
The rescue plan got a lot more complicated from there.
This is just like the foster parent who played fast one on an ex-roommate who stole her cat.
It turns out the last kitten had somehow fallen behind the chimney.
Luckily, the rescue crew got it out, and soon after, all four kittens were safe and sound.
Mayhem took to motherhood beautifully, and she even became an adoptive mama to two orphaned kittens at the shelter. Dr. Bewley named the kittens Havoc, Fiasco, Penance, Snafu, Kerfuffle, and Vendetta.
"Mother Mayhem is now caring for six kittens, and she has turned into a lovely cat," Emily said. "She’s a great mom, and she is very relaxed and happy."
In the end, the whole family got a very memorable foster story.
"The ‘ceiling kittens’ and the two orphaned kittens that Mayhem adopted are all thriving!" Emily said.
