We Are Family


This momma cat and her babies apparently belong to a human woman who may, or may not be, currently incarcerated. The residents on this project site suspect the reason she's been neglecting her kitties is because she is currently "missing" from the block. Momma cat roams all over looking for discarded chicken wings and potable water for her 2 little kittens. The one is a scrapper and I think will be OK. The other is frightened of going near people, which means he isn't near garbage, which means he's not eating food, seemingly relying on momma for milk. She's getting thinner with each day so he better start showing off his little face.

Some of you may be asking, well where is the father in all of this mess?! When I approached the tomcat about leaving his kids and babymomma to go hungry he turned and walked off, refusing to let me get his face on camera.


Apparently it's a North Philly thing and I just wouldn't understand.
