We got a mom and kittens on Tuesday to foster for the rescue.
Momma cat was a littke freaked out when she got here. The kittens were born Monday evening. Tuesday the rescue picked her up along with another mom and kittens and a 9 month old kitten as well. The situation was a bit of a mess so we are just happy they are out of it and safe.
Momma cat calmed down after about 36 hours and the kittens were doing pretty well. Two brown tabby and three white with gray spots on their heads.
We are going with a cheese theme. Mom eill be Fromage. The tabby kittens are Burrata and Ricotta. The whites will be Feta, Brie and Gouda. No genders yet as they are pretty little.
Unfortunately Burrata started doing poorly on Saturday and passed away that afternoon. Turns out Fromage is under 2 years old and this is her third (and last) litter of kittens.
The other kittens seem to be doing well but we are being super cautious. They get weighed twice a day and checked on often. Ricotta's eyes have already started to open.
The other mom and kittens are with our friend Heather. They are named after types of wine. (Cause we think we are all pretty funny) Not entirely sure how everyone is related but of that group one is white with a gray spot on his head and there are brown and gray tabby with one solid gray. Pretty sure their family tree is a straight line.






At least the cycle for these moms and kittens is over!
ReplyDeleteSad that one didn't make it.
A bit of humor between friends is so worth it.
