Tara gave birth to 6 kittens sometime in the middle of June but only 2 survived due to neglect. Tara and her kittens were not being provided food or litter in their home and by the time someone intervened the smaller of the 2 surviving kittens, Phoenix, was barely alive. After her son spent a couple days in an incubator at the animal hospital, he was reunited with Tara and sister, Brigit, in their new foster home. Tara initially was unable to nurse her babies but after a few days of good food her milk came back and mom and babies began gaining weight easily. Everyone is now thriving.

Tara's kittens have both been adopted and Tara is looking for a loving forever home herself. Despite her struggle to survive Tara loves people and is very affection. Her favorite activity is cuddling up with her foster caregivers while they watch television or work on the computer. So if you've got a free lap, please give Joan a call at 612.825.4056 and ask for Tara.

Tara's adoption fee is $100.
