Mama cat FINALLY starts to eat again once her babies are born!

This poor calico was pretty sick while she was pregnant and completely lost her appetite. Luckily, her little fur babies came and helped mom eat again!

"We got Sophia when she was turned into a local shelter as a stray pregnant cat. We had her about 3 days when she got a horrible upper respiratory infection. She was so congested in her head that she refused to eat," Here Kitty Kitty Rescue told Love Meow.

They tried to feed her food through a syringe but sadly Sophia just wasn't having it. The vet decided to give Sophia a feeding tube. "That way we could bypass her congestion and get her and the babies the nutrients they needed."

"The tube was placed and Sophia wore a little red sweater to help keep it in place. She was fed thru the tube 5-6 times per day.

Slowly, her cold began to get better, but she still wouldn't eat even though she was clearly hungry.  Our Doctor hoped once the babies were born she would start eating again."

On Tuesday night, Sophia went into labor and gave birth to 4 little fur balls!

The very next day Sophia started eating on her own and hasn't stopped! Her feeding tube has been removed and this little family is happy and healthy.

Once she saw her little babies, Sophia was ready to be the purrfect mom for her kittens.
