Welcome to Gaia! ::

I set out live traps to try to capture some tiny kittens that were born under my grandparents house. The mama cat hasn't been seen in 3 days and they didn't want the kittens to die. There were 2 gray tabbys, which the neighbor took before I could get to the house to check the traps, and then I found these two girls around noon time. Both are going to the vet first thing in the morning, but they have been bathed, they were covered in flees, and are both eating away. I'm guessing they are around 5-6 weeks, They are really tiny.





This little girl is staying with me.

We are assuming that she has been hit by a car, they live right behind a big highway.

awwwwww.....so frickin cute!!!!! 4laugh *squeals with bubbliness*

I hope they make it and grow up into strong and healthy cats.

First off, thank you for taking them in! I know first-hand dealing with the ferals in our neighborhood that most people out there prefer to turn a blind eye and hope that someone else will take care of it. Thank you for putting forth the effort to help them!

And second, they are absolutely adorable. 4laugh Beautiful little babies. Just make sure they get dewormed soon, if they haven't been already (I might've missed that in the posts). However, if that and an eye infection are the worst things you'll have to battle, they should be in good shape. 3nodding You got them at a good age - young enough to acclimate to people, but old enough that they don't need fed every two hours.

That's great. ^-^ They need all the cuddling they can get at that age, especially being somewhere new! Sounds like they haven't learned to be afraid yet. They don't really start fearfulness until they see other cats acting skittish, I think. Our rescue kittens all were unafraid of us, but the ones the parents fully raised outside were skittish by the time they were old enough to follow her to the food bowls.

They are so precious! Wish we were in the market for another kitty right now (I think I recall you being in the same state as me), I would steal one!

They are so adorable! They look so soft too! I'm so glad you took them in! biggrin They are a bit older than what my cat Charcoal and her brother, Simba were when I found them. They were only 3 weeks old, and momma cat was no where to be found, so I took them in to take care of them. Charcoal hissed at us a little bit when we found them, but they otherwise weren't scared of us. I think she was more hissing at my best friend's dog, Joy, who had lunged at them, drawing my best friend's and my attention to them. Having to feed them every couple hours was tiring, but worth it. biggrin Simba went to my grandfather the thanksgiving after my friend and I found them, who calls him Zimba now, and I got to keep Charcoal. She grew up to be quite a rascal, but sweetie. She loves to cuddle and play. She even hops up to something that's about even to my height and then goes onto my shoulder and stands there, purring away and demanding that I pet her by shoving her head in my hand if I stop petting her (she'll also do this while not on my shoulder). biggrin She has a huge amount of energy, lol. She plays so hard, she starts panting and wants to continue after she's gotten to that point lol. I remember when Charcoal tried to groom herself for the first time, she started with one of her back legs and almost fell over. whee I hope yours grow up to be good, strong, healthy cats. biggrin

Well, its been a whole week and the kittens are doing awesomely!

Piper last monday


Piper (back) and her sister (front) last night, cuddling with me on the couch.


Piper is very mellow and laid back. Her sister seems to live only to make people bleed. lol Although she has gotten a little better in the last couple of days.
