My Colleague Brought A Pregnant Stray Cat Into Our Office, Now The Family Of Nine Has Their Own Meeting Room

ADVERTISEMENT

Yvonne was on the way to work when she met a heavily pregnant stray cat. The cat was friendly and sat outside the office building meowing at people who walked in. She was thin and looked very young, and immediately rubbed her face on anyone who gave her attention. Luckily, our office Holmes&Marchant Shanghai had a bunch of cat ladies ready to give the pregnant mama some TLC to get her ready for her delivery date.

The pregnant kitty was meowing for attention. “It’s like she was asking for help for her babies and herself,” Yvonne said

We took her to our office and called her Boba because she was so round!

We placed her in a spare meeting room, where we prepared her a litter box, cushy bedding, and all the food (dry, canned tuna, fresh fish, milk) she could want

There was a storm one night. When we came to work the next day, we found D-Day had arrived! Boba gave birth to eight kittens

For a young mom, Boba was so responsible and amazing!

The babies were all small and we couldn’t tell them apart at first

There were two gingers, one calico, and five tabbies

…and tried stretching!

When the kitties hit one month, we moved them to a bigger meeting room so they could all move freely

One big family! Our officemates come to this room to visit the kitties or try to get some work done, no matter how impossible it is!

Boba still being such a good mom. We are going to spay Boba and find great adopters for all the little ones. We hope someone adopts Boba together with one of her babies. For now, they are still enjoying their new little family, and everyone in the office is so lucky!

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

Thats exactly what we are doing now note last paragraph of article :). Kitties only five weeks old now so they are not going to their adopters yet we plan to wait until at least week 8-9. We always neuter or spay our rescues and make sure they are vaccinated, either by us or by the adopter.

You gals are AMAZING!!! What you did for this momma and her kitties, was no less than save their lives! It would be terribly difficult for this momma to successfully raise EIGHT kittens in the wild, it's hard enough to find food for herself, but the calories she needs to make enough milk for 8 is off the charts! Chances are that less than half would have survived without this intervention. Oh...and the names you gave them..Unique! I loved them all!!

Not really, as far as I know... I did something very similar, but 30 years ago. I guess, maybe, if someone in the office complained, I'm sure the the foster would just take the young family to their home to grow up. Maybe the laws in that state have changed since then? I think it's really great that they have a whole room to dedicate to young family, and I'm sure that makes a huge difference!

Not cow milk. We tried giving them KMR (kitten milk replacer, PetAg brand) at about a month old to help Boba cos she was getting stressed out with feeding all eight. Their diet is still mostly mom's milk and the mother&babycat mousse from royal canin.

Nothing like caring for a pregnant animal in need. I've experienced the joy many times.

They are great for attendance but bad for productivity. People must be excited to get to work to play with them lol

Loss of productivity is okay when our boss is also in there playing with them lol

That’s so kind of you to help all the kitties! What a difference you must have made in their lives! (Pearl, the calico is my favorite!)

They're beautiful! Just wanted to say, for future reference, cats should not be given cow milk as they are lactose intolerant.

Is anyone else wondering why there is a chair facing the wall in the forth photo? I didn't realise the naughty corner existed in offices.

You gals are AMAZING!!! What you did for this momma and her kitties, was no less than save their lives! It would be terribly difficult for this momma to successfully raise EIGHT kittens in the wild, it's hard enough to find food for herself, but the calories she needs to make enough milk for 8 is off the charts! Chances are that less than half would have survived without this intervention. Oh...and the names you gave them..Unique! I loved them all!!

Great story. Will you all be taking one (or 2) home? Although I do think you could keep them all.

Yes some of our colleagues will be adopting them. We're going to make sure colleagues get first priority, and/or close friends. We don't want them too far away!

What a wonderful thing to have done, to take in the pregnant cat instead of simply calling a humane society or animal shelter. It must've been quite hard work and distracting from work! - but these pictures show the real rewards... I love the names! Black Sugar, Pudding, Milk Topping, Pearl... So cute! But Oolong the tabby tux is definitely my favourite 💕

Lovely, but just as a PSA: Don't give cats milk. Almost 70% of them are lactose intolerant, and milk can make them have GI problems.

The shop I work in shares a yard with the the building next door. In summer the people in the building breed a litter of adorable tiny black puppies. We get no work done as we are always in the yard...for puppy time! :-)

You really went out of your way to provide a perfect environment for those new lifes, thank you so much. Quick side note: don't feed cow milk to cats, very likely will give them diarrhea.

Something like this could not happen in USA, because we have too strict health codes here 🙁

Not really, as far as I know... I did something very similar, but 30 years ago. I guess, maybe, if someone in the office complained, I'm sure the the foster would just take the young family to their home to grow up. Maybe the laws in that state have changed since then? I think it's really great that they have a whole room to dedicate to young family, and I'm sure that makes a huge difference!

Not cow milk. We tried giving them KMR (kitten milk replacer, PetAg brand) at about a month old to help Boba cos she was getting stressed out with feeding all eight. Their diet is still mostly mom's milk and the mother&babycat mousse from royal canin.
