..since I took these kittens in ..first seven then found one more, two more and then ..there were 13. We started bottle feeding them and then a week or so after having been to the vet we started lapping - which was a big relief 8O ! I have named each one of them and you will probably recognize some of the names that I have learned from the forum :wink: - like Twinkie and Oliver.
The youngest ones are probably 8 weeks of age while the oldest close to 10. They come from 4 different litters ..and it was very hard to catch them ...the more I delayed the harder it was to tame them + it was a whole lot of work caring for them.
I have printed out sheets(4) with the abc's of caring for kittens to give out to their new parents. Two of them have already found homes (today ) - after my having put the parents through a thorough orientation process and lots of questions asked. I shared my knowledge and reinforced the importance of neutering and spaying and not declawing + lots of other things I have learned from the forum mainly. Plus I asked for permission to call back in order to check on them.
Well here are some pictures (taken last week) of "my" kittens. I am going to miss them so, so much
Part of the whole group
Twinkie, Oliver, Cosmo and Ashley
Bo ( and Arrow is her twin sister)
Arrow, Buttons and Sophie
Cooper used to get so messy and then he grew up so gracefully
Lovie and Red Rover are in the front - the other babies are already mentioned above
Marbles
And the last but not least ..Clover - looks just like Cooper.
I just have to mention that I am doing my best to control the feral colony on my parents-in-law property. Until help arives I can at least do this - I must add that I couldn't have done this without Andrew's help. He is such a wonderful, giving person
Here is one last picture with the kittens in their "house"
