Days after sharing that two of her kittens had been rushed to the vets, Katie Price kept her beloved cats close by as she departed her theatre show on Monday.
Supported by her boyfriend JJ Slater, the glamour model, 47, carried one of the animals to the car after leaving her show at Ellesmere Port in Chester.
Katie, who has been condemned by animal charities for owning pets after she suffered a series of deaths, previously shared that she rushed the two kittens to the vets after JJ found them limp.
Speaking in an update to Facebook, she explained: ‘They were born two weeks premature and we have been bottle feeding them as well as their mum feeding them. But they’ve all been really healthy.
‘We’re all really attached to them, they look at me like they’re second mum because obviously I feed them.’
She continued: ‘So JJ calls and says he thinks two of the kittens are dead because they’re not moving.

‘He showed them me and they were all limp with their tongues out, two of them. I said you need to get them to the vets straight away.
‘He took them to the vet and the vet said it would be best to let them go basically, put them to sleep. I said, “No chance they must be able to do something.”
‘Thank God I didn’t go with what the vet said. £1400 later they are now home. I’m just keeping a close eye on them. Thank god because they are like my babies.’
Doris gave birth last month and Katie has been working around the clock to help her cat look after the kittens, even a missing a holiday to the Isle of Wight.
Katie welcomed Doris and two other bald cats into her home last October, despite calls from animal charities for her to be banned from owning pets.
Katie hit back at those who criticised her for owning animals after charity PETA offered her £5,000 to stop keeping pets.
The reality star, who also recently introduced a cocker spaniel named Rookie to her family, has always been an avid animal lover and has owned several pets over the years.
Katie kicked off her nationwide tour with pal Kerry Katona over the weekend, and in the opening show, she laid bare the ’16 years of hell’ she’s suffered since her divorce from ex-husband Peter Andre, admitting she’s ‘glad that the truth is now coming out’.

Tensions between the mother-of-five and the Mysterious Girl singer, 52, exploded last month, following the launch of their daughter Princess’s new reality show.
Meanwhile, disturbing footage from the former couple’s own reality series from the noughties began to circulate online, causing fans to question Peter’s ‘saintly’ image.
And now Katie has spoken out about their marriage alongside BFF Kerry Katona during the opening night of their touring show, An Evening with Katie and Kerry.
The two long-standing pals appeared on stage at Marine Hall in Fleetwood on Saturday night, where they regaled the audience with stories about their friendship, families and failed marriages.
According to The Mirror, Katie said: ‘Well, he had a manager. When I came out, because I wanted to be with Pete and Pete wanted to be with me, I need to be careful how I word things now…’ causing Kerry to cheekily cut in: ‘I’ll say it!’
Katie continued: ‘[Peter’s manager] ended up managing me and Pete and… There were three of us in the marriage.’
The mother of five insisted that she had ‘good memories’ from their romance, but that she had suffered since the split, before referencing the recent changes in public opinion.
She said: ‘There are memories. They were very good memories. I’ve suffered 16 years ’cause of it, from when [we]split up I’ve had 16 years of hell.
‘But I’m glad now that the truth is coming out on social media and people are seeing.’
