My daughter was here on holiday last week and on her way home after a night out with her husband, she came back at 1am telling me a cat was outside crying really loudly. I could hear it from my terrace and told her it sounded as if it was in heat and calling for a mate. We looked over the terrace and was spotted by the cat whos cries became even more loud and desperate. My rescue cat has been neutered so I was puzzled as to why it was staring up at us and crying so loudly. We went downstairs to discover she was pregnant and could only presume she was in labour. As much as I knew that this was not my responsibilty, I could not leave her, the panic in her eyes made me take her inside. She jumped on my bed and continued to cry and then pant!!! daughter and I sat rubbing her tummy and just over two hours later at 3.30am she had a kitten, 7.30am her second one and 10.50am the following morning! her third. Three kittens later and exhausted from having not a wink of sleep I then realised that this was now my responsibility. Mum is absolutely fantastic, she is the most loving (grateful I would think) cat, she has allowed me to handle kittens from the time they were born. She is now in the spare room with her litter tray, food water etc, quiet and happily feeding them. When I walk in the room she comes and lies on her back for me to stroke under her armpits! she thens rubs herself all round me and touches my nose with hers, she would make someone a wonderful companion. I can not keep her and kittens as I already have a rescue dog and rescue cat and am in a rented apartment. It breaks my heart to think of such a wonderful loving cat going to a rescue centre and so I appeal to anyone that could or knows anyone who would like such a darling mum or kitten (I may have a home for one of the kittens) Obviously she can stay here until they are weaned but I really need homes for them in a couple of months, they are one week old now and I have attached photos of them.

looking at the mother cat, she seems in good health and clean in these pictures, could it be that she belongs to someone near to you who may be missing her.. you could ask around ?? if I were there I would have one like a shot but unfortunately I'm still in the UK

When she arrived, she was very thin, after having the kittens it became even more apparent, you could feel her hip bones and all along her spine. She had fleas and worms. She has now been treated for both. I had to buy a special worming tablet from the vet that was OK for nursing mothers.
As she is so affectionate I suspect that she may have belonged to someone and as soon as they realised she was pregnant they have booted her out rather than get her neutered in the first place Grrrrrr!!!!!!! I will of course print off a photo of her and ask around but I don't hold out much hope. She would have obviously wanted to be in a loving home that she knew as the birth approached, not be sat panic stricken, wanting to come into a total strangers (me) apartment to give birth.

I have two cats and a dog already so no, not me... but it might help if you put (approximately) where you are. Spain's a big place!
