Cat Gives Birth And Owner Thinks He Is In Danger
When Monika finally returned, the staff at Ussuriysk were overjoyed. Alice let out a sigh of relief, a massive weight had been lifted from her shoulder. Everyone was ecstatic to welcome her back, especially when they noticed that she had brought back healthy kittens.
But one of them looked a little strange. Panic set in when the staff finally realized the truth. But where could Monika have found this creature?
Monika Arrives
Alice, a zookeeper at the Ussuriysk zoo in the Russian city of Primorsky Krai, got a surprise one freezing winter morning as he arrived for work. She first thought she was seeing a small clump of leaves in the snow.
She was shocked to discover that it was a tiny kitten and was freezing. She immediately wrapped her up and took her in for treatment. Judging from her frigid body and shallow breaths, Alice worried that she wouldn’t make it.
She Had Spirit
Alice found the zookeepers and vet and they immediately began treating Alice. When Alice left that day, she was told not to grow too attached as the outlook was bleak.
Against all odds, the little kitten survived the night. After the next two days, she was underweight but clearly a fighter. They affectionately named her Monika and took turns caring for her. Monika survived but none of them knew how much more trouble lay ahead in her future.
The Zoo
The Ussuriysk Zoo was home to a vast array of exotic wildlife. Some were large and ferocious like bears, a famous Siberian tiger, and even lions. The staff knew that it wasn’t really a place for a domestic cat.
Regardless, they had all grown fond of Monika and decided to keep her. She was well-loved and taken care of and settled in nicely. No one really anticipated any problems from her but she soon proved them wrong.
Her Adventures
Monika usually spent all her time inside the facility but every now and then she would slip out and disappear for a while. At first, the staff would get anxious for her safety.
She would always return in the end and after a while, it became normal for Monika to go on little adventures. After a while, the staff realized she had gotten pregnant on one of these adventures. While highly pregnant, Monika disappeared again. Only this time, she wasn’t returning.
