Lark and the songbirds

When mom dropped off Bacall, she spoke to the head rescue lady about the little kittens that are close to being ready to go. That being the case, mom offered to take any group available.

Turns out a guy came in last week with a box with mom and 7 kittens. He had gone to a rural shelter (the same one that saved Panache) and they are still full dealing with that hoarding case. They called the rescue and got the ok to send him to our center. He was a jerk and kept slamming the box around until it was taken away from him.
The kittens
Momma cat - Lark



The guy claims the kittens were dropped off, but they and mom are super friendly and social. Lark was pretty stressed, so another volunteer took 4 of the larger kittens to her house. We now have mom plus three. They are about 6 weeks old but pretty little and need to put on some weight.

Our friend named her group after songbirds....these kittens are VERY chirpy. Mom decided to use the same thing. Momma cat is Lark, the gray tabby is a girl named Starling, the oranges are both boys...the darker is Kestrel, the lighter is Grackle.

  8. Momma looks tiny too! We're probably better off not knowing what that jerk was about. At least he got the Mom. I've heard so many stories of people thinking kittens are abandoned just because Mom isn't there at the second they find the nest. I had a boyfriend take kittens like that and he didn't understand why I was so upset. Momma's gotta hunt! I can't even imagine the anguish when a Mom cat comes back and finds her litter missing. Okay, so I kind of went off on a tangential rant ...
