Am so excited guys.....(3) about 4-5 wk old kittens were in our flower bed.....their baby momma has been dropping litters on the neighborhood for years....Andi came over and netted one and a friend of ours who already had one feral so she is familiar with the feral routine took her (she is calico, so sure it is female) then before Andi left she checked one more time for the other 2 and they were huddled in the window well, so she netted them both and she took them with her.....she will do care on them, then remove the other calico and wants to keep the all black one as her one daughter has been begging her for a black kitten.....it was all like meant to be today.....God is so great as I know he had his hand in all of this coming together! I was just sick thinking of not getting them taken care of before we left! Praise the Lord these little ones will be well taken care of! Andi just sent me a pic of her and they are all girls....can't imagine how many kittens this brood would have pumped out and we would not have been here to help them...she looks larger than she really is....

What cuties... Thanks to you and Andi for caring and giving them a better life. We just trapped two litters and the moms around the same age. We will tame them get them fixed with their shots and a microchip. Then adopt them out. You have done a marvelous job over the years helping these mommas and babies. Thank you for having a huge heart and caring. Thank you to Andi also. HUGS Suzanne

Bless you Vicki, you both have a heart of gold to look after all those kittens over the 37 years. I do pray that your nose will soon be free of any kind of numbness etc. Love Chris

Glad that they will be well cared for. I wish I had come to you for advice when a feral momma and then her kittens showed up on our back deck. The ones that are left are semi tamed and all have been spayed, but I could get no help from the local animal shelter at the time. I am concerned about them should we have to evacuate for a hurricane sometime. Glad you will be able to make your move without kitten worries. Hope you get good news from the doctor.

Thank goodness they are fixed and I surely understand about no help from shelters......ours are so inundated with kittens right now that I knew it would be hopeless to reach out and I am so lucky and blessed to have Andi in my life to help me out........

Our God is an AWESOME God! Reminds me of the song All God's Critters got a place in the choir, some sing low some sing higher, some sing out loud of the telephone wire and some just clap their hands, or paws or anything they got!

I LOVE her! You get all the luck, Vicki! I have always wanted to find a feral litter and not even one has ever crossed our yard. We had all those feral cats at the farm. I remember a momma had a litter in the loft of the barn. When we found them the mother wa away but those itty bitty babies hissed like crazy at us. My sister had the patience and skill to tame a few out of each litter we ever found. We never got to bring any home, and we only saw them when they came out of hiding for table scraps. It was a different time then. This little Torte will be so much healthier because your friend cared enough to help. Are her eyes blue???

I think both their eyes are green....Andi is gonna take them with to school, get them gone over and then spayed before she rehomes....we have had so many litters dropped on us over the 37 yrs we been in the house, and we hope this will be the last litter to have to deal with as it takes alot of energy from me due to stressing over them 🙀

She looks more scared.
Ha ha after I read the first "I am so excited" I thought your breathing has improved. Now I find out it is all about knowing that the kittens are going to be taken care of. I totally understand your excitement. Now you can move without worrying about the new kittens.
