Breeze has taken good care of her plump, well-cleaned kittens, even though she herself was in very poor and hungry condition.    We want to ensure Breeze and her babies never again know hunger or homelessness.     ( Breeze was too bashful to be photographed this morning, so the picture here is just of her four babies in a basket.)
