Last week mom wandered in to the adoption center for the rescue to drop off an empty carrier (we either can't find one or we have a bazillion - it's weird) and pick up vaccines for the nuts. As she does when she is there, she wandered around and saw this momma cat in a crate.....
Mom of course forgot to ask how she came to the rescue.
The lady working that night told mom to come back on Wednesday so that the mom cat could be tested. Mom returned on Wednesday and took the family home (mom cat is FeLV/FIV negative...the kittens are too young to test, but if mom is negative, they are).
When mom was checking them out on Tuesday, one of the black kittens HISSED at her. Of course mom had to get the kitten out and kiss it.
Here's the odd thing....mom would swear there was no little orange kitten on Tuesday night.
But Wednesday, there it was......
Not one to really think about it, mom packed up the whole family and took them home and now they are set up in the bathroom. One tortie girl, one black girl, two black boys and one orange girl. (mom said she is gonna need collars for the black ones)
Here's the thing though - not only is the orange girl MUCH smaller than the others....her eyes are still VERY blue. Which means someone pulled a fast one - that kitten isn't related to this family. But hey - she is eating, doing ok and the mom cat likes her. Better to be with a mom cat than not....mom will just have to keep an extra eye on her since she is tiny.
Everyone is doing well. The mom cat is very friendly. One of the black kittens will run if mom moves around too much but they aren't hissy and don't run quite as soon as they did when they first got here. We bet they will be friendly in no time.
No names yet....nothing has really stuck. If you have a good theme idea, we are open to suggestions. No holidays though....we hate to see Christmas names get stuck on a kitten and then have them still around come spring. (yes, it does happen)
who me??

Sweet babies! Well, at least the little orange one is accepted by the mom cat and will get the nurturing she needs. She's a little doll! Lots of purrs to them, that they all do well and thrive, and find wonderful forever homes in due course.
ReplyDeleteThat is hysterical that the orange kitten just showed up. She is so cute. Glad the Momma kitty took her in. Can't think of any good themes for names. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty kittens. The orange kitten is so tiny next to the other kittens and is so cute. It's pouring with rain here - can you use the weather as a theme for their names?
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
How about Paris-themed or French names?
ReplyDeleteSuch cute widdle bebehs! Good thing that the mama cat took on that orange sweetie!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, they are soooo cute!! I just LOVE orange cats.
ReplyDeleteHow bout Jewel for a name? ;) Ebony for one of the black kittens? Mango or Mandarin for the orange one?
Oh, sweet mama and beebies! If our mom had foster babies right now, she might be considering French names, but knowing her, they would be French pastry names.
ReplyDeletethe french pastry thing was cute - then we ran a google search and determined we can't pronounce most of them. :)
Deleteor in my case, spell them.
DeleteSo glad Momma Cat took in the orange baby :) So many potential name themes: flowers, vegetables, automobiles, country singers, movie roles...
ReplyDeleteHow about Gone With The Wind names: Scarlett (little orange girl, of course), Rhett, Ashley, Melanie and Prissy. Astrid was raised in a litter with a mom that was not her own. We are so happy that this little girl found a mom to raise her as well. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteOh, we like that Gone with the Wind idea!!! That little orange girl is so CUTE!!!! They all are, but wow, that orange surprise-kitty is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
They are so cute ! We like the idea of Gone With The Wind names. Purrs
ReplyDeleteCuties! I wonder where the orange girl came from... she's very cute!
ReplyDeleteum.. yeah, I'm going to be annoying.. you do know the little one could be positive and infect her sibs and mom right?? lets just hope that is not the case.. but she should probably be tested when she is six weeks old..
ReplyDeleteshe will be tested since she isn't related...but right now we think the risk is worth the gain of having her have a mom (but we appreciate the sentiment)
DeleteWe kinda like French-themed names - like Brigitte, Maurice, Lisette, etc.
ReplyDeleteCute little babies, and the little ginger girl is a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteSweet little ones! No ideas for theme names, but how cool that the orangie is accepted into the family, too.

Dezi and Lexi
Aw, they're so cute! And of course the mom has a thing for that little orange one. ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! That's funny that the little orange kitty snuck in. Glad she was accepted!
ReplyDeleteAs for names, have you done Lord of the Rings names or Harry Potter names yet? That could be cute. A little Dumbledore....
They are all cuties :) Sorry I have no name ideas, I used all my ideas up naming my huge crew.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! And so glad the lil orange girl has a new family. Apparently they didn't notice much either. And we second Kitty Cat Chronicles - totally go with the LOTR for names.
ReplyDeleteOne word: SQUEEE!!! I love the idea of GWTW names too. The little tortie could be Tara :)
