Bisque's Story

Bisque is from a litter of four that came to us in April as part of our Mom’s Last Litter program. Their mama was a stray that a kind person took in.  Their caretaker realized that their full-time work schedule didn’t allow them to give the kitty family the attention they needed. They reached out to South County Cats for assistance with socializing, weaning, and, of course, spay/neuter and adoption of the kittens. So mama and kittens came to us and were fostered by our volunteer Linda. Each litter gets a name, and this litter became the “Soup Kittens” – Chowder, Minestrone, Bisque and Gumbo. Originally there was a Stewie, but coincidently we also had a “Family Guy” litter at the time and one of the kittens was “Stewie.”

The Soup Kittens had a busy schedule, making two appearances at Toddler Tuesday at Infinity Farm, where they made lots of friends. When the kittens were weaned their mama was spayed and returned to her owner. The kittens continued to grow, and were spayed and adopted. Bisque was renamed Bella and is living her best life in her forever home, who reports, “Bella has been the perfect addition to our family. She loves snuggles & cuddles. She has been more playful with Wally each day. He grooms her regularly and keeps an eye on her as she explores every part of the house. He even showed her how to climb the cat tree. He would climb to a flat surface, then wait for her, then climb higher and wait for her. It was so sweet! She loves sleeping on us! Even our boys love her snuggles!” 

We chose Bisque for our 2023 CAToberfest poster because of her cute face and she looks like she could jump right off the page and into your arms! South County Cats was able to provide assistance for Bisque and her siblings and they were Mom’s Last Litter.
