Lilia’s date of birth (guesstimated) – June 8, 2023.
Lilia showed up as a stray somewhere in Huntsville, and when she started looking obviously pregnant, she came to Forgotten Felines. She’d been at Michelle’s for a little while before coming to us. She joined us on June 19, 2025 and is currently set up in my office (in a few weeks, she’ll move to the foster room.)
She was VERY pregnant and due any minute. She’s super sweet and friendly – loves to be petted and is a total lapcat. We’re looking forward to meeting her kittens!
Her kittens will get names that start with M, N, O, P & Q (and further along the alphabet if need be!) and they’ll be collectively referred to as the Alphabet Soup Gang.
After 10 days, Lilia gave birth to four kittens between 11:45 am and 3 pm on June 29th. When she had contractions the next morning and no more kittens were forthcoming, I got her to the vet. She had two kittens still left inside, and the vet did a c-section/ spay surgery. Unfortunately, the two retained kittens did not make it. You can read her initial birth story here, and the follow-up here.
Sadly, a few days later, one of her four kittens – Millie – passed away. You can read about that here.
Nolan; boy.
Owen; boy.
Patsy; girl.
Millie; girl.
