Mama Clue was found outside an old couple’s home. When the couple’s son stopped by for a visit, he observed the adorable cat with crusted-over eyes. He tracked her down to her resting lair, where he discovered three little kittens waiting for her.
Mama Clue was well aware that she and her children required assistance, and as soon as she had the opportunity, she directed someone to them.
The man who found the little family contacted Coastal Bend Cat Rescue, who quickly agreed to sponsor a vet visit for Mama Clue and her kittens. The rescue didn’t have an open foster home at the time, but they knew they couldn’t just leave the family outside, so they quickly came up with a plan to make it work.
“At the time, [Mama Clue] was considered to have serious eye infections that were just sealing her eyelids shut, and she was given an injection of antibiotics,” Coastal Bend Cat Rescue officer Mary Huckabee told The Dodo.
“We were concerned about the health of the 1-week-old infants if they had to be outside with a sick mom, so we shuffled foster homes and found a home for Clue and her babies with an experienced mama/baby foster.”
All three of the kittens had health issues that needed tending to, and everyone was so glad that they were rescued just in time. Once Mama Clue was settled in, her foster mom noticed that her eyes weren’t just infected — she had no normal eye tissue and had always been completely blind.
Somehow, though, she’d survived on her own and managed to be a great mom to her babies, including making sure they were found and taken somewhere safe.
The whole family was named after board games: Mama Clue, Candyland, Monopoly and Chutes and Ladders. The kittens all began to heal right away, and Mama Clue has continued to show again and again that she really is the best mom ever.
