Up date on the kittens..... Bogart goes to the vets today to have the drains looked at and possibly removed. He is still favoring that leg. It has been a struggle with him. His two brothers are on solid food now no more bottles.

We caught two pregnant moms Sunday. One had her kittens that day. the other had her kittens yesterday morning ,
First mom had four and lost one... second mom had four so my hands are full 10 kittens so far.
Second mom has upper repertory we are giving her antibiotics. She would not have survived out in the cold. both cats are so thin I doubt they would have survived themselves feeding all the little ones.
I am giving them high protein food as much as they want. I have been giving them wet kitten food for the extra calories.
Right now I am exhausted. Feeding the trio for three weeks round the clock. I am glad two are on food now.
Breeding season has begun and I have a feeling it is going to be bad. We had such a bad winter... things are late.
Thanks for all the support!! Hugs Suzanne

Oh, Suzanne, you sure do have your hands full.......hopefully both moms will recover enough to care for the kits, so you won't have to bottlefeed.... I admire your determination and dedication to these homeless kitties.... I think God has a way of directing them to the people who will help them.... I too am dreading the next few months as I know we have a couple of toms around here that we have been unable to trap.....hoping that we got all or most of the females fixed now.....get as much rest as you can!!!

I'm so proud of you and all that you do. Bogart is a special kitten with all he has been through. I'm hoping that you get lots of mamas and babies this spring. and all have happy and healthy babies. And NO MORE BOTTLES hehe
