Mama Freddie was seen for months on the grounds of the (former) Traverse City State Hospital. Initially assumed to be a young male, Freddie was named by students of Greenspire School who would watch her hunt outside of their classroom.  However, once she was trapped, she was found to be a nursing mom!  After locating her kittens (Fitz, Finn, Frank, and Fiona), all were trapped, fixed, released and fed by a caretaker for over a year before coming to the sanctuary.  Mama warmed up quickly and we believe she had a home at one time before finding herself outside alone, and pregnant.  She is such a happy cat, and isn't much older than her babies, she behaves more like their sibling than their mother!  Freddie is loving life at the sanctuary and is known to be a bit of a hunter from the safety of her catio!  Mama is a confident lady who went from the hard street to a life of safety and love!
