We gained some new kittens over the weekend. Our friend Miss Amanda found a kitten, went back and then found mom and 4 more kittens. She had them for a week and mom was spayed and released since she was feral. The kittens need some socialization and Miss Amanda has a lot going on. After some back and forth, mom picked up the kittens on Saturday morning. There are 2 orange tabbys and 3 torties. The orange boys spent about a day behind the pen in the foster room and are now out with the flower kittens. The girls need a little more work and are behind the pen until mom is sure she can catch them if she needs them.
Letting the orange boys out was uneventful. The older kittens are pretty good with them and the boys yell if they get too rough. Of the girls, one is pretty good right now, one needs a little work, and the last one is very sure that mom is evil. MOL They are probably about 5 weeks old, so we have time to get them friendly for adoption. Right now with the girls, mom will pick them up and hold them and she also sits with them when she puts out the canned food twice per day and makes them come right up to her to eat.
Amaryllis says - heck NO to more kittens
she is 110% over kitten shenanigans
Orchid would like to know what is in the mysterious carrier
you can see Muscari and Dandelion in the background
with one of the girls putting on her stranger-danger suit
Muscari is VERY sure these kittens will make great playmates

ReplyDeletePoor Amaryllis she must be wishing for somewhere to get some peace and quiet.

The older kittens are probably wondering where those youngsters came from.
