A stylish and dainty feline, Mama Mystic, found her way to a rescue center in Orange County, California just in time. Even though she was small in size, her belly was so swollen with pregnancy that she resembled a ripe watermelon. Fortunately, rescuers spotted her at a shelter, recognized her condition, and offered her a calm home for fostering. Given her gentle temperament, it is likely that Mama Mystic would have struggled to cope in the cramped shelter environment. Regrettably, black cats like her face challenges in finding homes, and are frequently among the last to be adopted or euthanized. But this wasn’t Mama Mystic’s fate. “Momma Mystic is almost ready to give birth! She loves having her belly rubbed!”

The new mother cat, Mama Mystic, gave birth to eight kittens after a difficult labor, unfortunately losing six of them. With the help of her foster mom, Mystic cared for the remaining preemie kittens and proudly raised them as her Fabulous Octet. Despite the challenges of motherhood, Mystic remained calm and loving, even enjoying head scratches while nursing. With diligent care, all eight kittens slowly gained weight and reached five weeks old, graduating to an impressive playroom. The Coppersmith family showed off the playroom on TikTok, and Mystic was able to take breaks in her own separate area. As the kittens grew older and more independent, Mystic wore special protective shirts to give her a break and prepare her for spaying and adoption. Overall, Mystic’s cooperative nature and dedication to her kittens made her a wonderful mother and a true inspiration.

Mama Mystic was surrounded by a bunch of cute, little kitties who had just stopped nursing and she was wearing a protective shirt to keep them safe. The animal rescue that had these lovely felines ready for adoption decided to host an elegant “Black Tie Event” at a nearby pet store to attract potential adopters. There were many adorable and magical darlings waiting to find their forever homes.

A recent update has revealed that all the Fabulous Octets have undergone spay and neuter procedures and have found loving homes. The feline family was incredibly lucky in many ways and will bring endless joy to their new families. Moreover, their adoption will prevent further suffering during kitten season.
