    Abandoned Mom cat and her 4 six week old kittens need home(s) ASAP.
    
    Mom one day showed up at a co-worker's barn and soon had 4 babies. 
    Co-worker is very allergic to cats and her husband doesn't like cats so
    they need to be placed soon.  Babies are still nursing as they've been
    seen outside barn playing and nursing from Mom.  Mom makes daily
    hunting trips but always returns.  Co-worker is not feeding Mom cat as
    she didn't want to encourage her to stay.  Needless to say if they
    don't find homes before they get much bigger and not used to humans,
    they may end up "wild" and unapproachable.
    
    Only details I could get are:
    
    	Mom is black with white paws
    	two kittens are black 
        two kittens are gray/brown/white (which sounds
    		like Calico markings to me).
    
    Since neither co-worker nor her husband want to get close to Mom cat
    and kittens, it is unknown as to whether kittens are male or female. 
    
    Co-worker will be out for 6 weeks but if any interest in helping this
    unfortunate feline family, please contact either Marlene Hurley or Ruth
    Roache at CREKE::HURLEY or CREKE::ROACHE.

|     Gee, the least she could do is feed the mother so the kittens
    and the mother will be healthy.

|     Well, I just found out that she was giving the mom cat some scraps from
    her table and water.  She's not a mean person by any means and I'm
    sorry it came across that way.  She just is so allergic to them she
    can't get too close.  
    
    However, good news.  Another Feline Noter has volunteered to pick up
    Mom and her 4 babies tonight and bring them to the Concord Adopt-A-Cat
    Shelter in Concord, MA.  From there they will have the chance to be
    adopted out to loving homes.  This shelter, by the way, is on DEC's
    Matching Gift list!

    Oh good!  It's hard to think that they would be going hungry
    and thirsty.    I'm sure she isn't mean - allergies are very
    difficult to deal with.  Wish her luck from me and my 18 !!
