Stray Kitties Need Help!

Hi All,
 
I really need some assistance with a Mommy cat and her 5 day old kittens that were born last night before I could get mom into the vet.
 
I became involved in this on Tuesday August 17th. Long story short, I was supposed to go to the west end today at lunch to pick up a cat who is pregnant. The woman who called about the cat was quite worried, there was some kind of a discharge coming from somewhere, she was not sure exactly where. And the cat was lethargic, not eating or drinking, and restless. This is not her cat, but is a stray who she has let into her garage and has been feeding. Apparently this same cat was there just this past April and had a litter then. The woman found homes for the kittens but could not afford to spay the mother cat and could not find anyone to help, so she just stopped feeding her so that she would go away. Not going to comment on that.... Anyway, the cat came back pregnant again, to have her kittens there again I guess.
 
As I said, I was going to go and get her today and get her to the vet. But Mommy cat had 5 kittens last night and seems to be doing okay.  And at least she is inside the garage and is being fed. The woman who is feeding her is highly allergic, by the way.
 
This Mom cat and her kittens need help. They are really not in a safe place. Friends of the the lady who is temporarily caring for them have made some cruel and horrible recommendations about what to do with her and her kittens!

Please, is there any person or any organization who might be able to take in this mother cat and her babies? 
 
Mommy cat is a tiny calico who appears to be tame and loves to have her head rubbed and loves to be petted. She is quite the talker, and very clean. I will be sure that she goes to the vet for a thorough check up before she goes anywhere. And of course, she needs to be spayed when the time is right. I could cover the cost of the spay.
 
I know that this is a bad time of year, everyone is inundated.  But this kitty and her babies really need help!!!  
 
I believe that this is an urgent situation!  Please email me at judithawilson@hotmail.com or call me at 416 258-5061 if you can help. And if you cannot, please pass this along if you know of someone who might be able to help.
 
Thank you!!!
Judy
