A woman adopted a kitten and returned to the shelter for her cat mother who had been there for six long months.

Queenie the cat came to The Exploits Valley SPCA with a full belly of babies. She was estimated to be around two years old, and very friendly from the beginning.

"Prior to coming to the shelter, the staff were told she gave birth to several large litters in the past. Luckily, this is her last time having to go through labor," The Exploits Valley SPCA wrote.
