Pictures of Two Sweet Feral Babies...One Special Needs

[QueenScoopalot]

These are two of a whole slew of sweeties I butterfly netted last weekend. The handsome lil' Siamese boy and the adorable tabby with him were at Catfamily Carla's house for a few days. I've been reeling at the amount of kittens I keep coming across, and the amazing assortment. The tiny girl that I knicknamed "Ivy" was huddled at the base of a stone wall last Sunday tucked under the ivy praying she wouldn't be seen. :eek: Good thing I looked down before I climbed up, or the little girl may have been stepped on provoking an attack by all the protective mom cats out there! The adults will be TNR after the babies are accounted for. Say some prayers that cute Ivy/Dolly will go to my friend Jan & Dougs home. ;) Ivy has only one ear, and no signs of an ear canal! It could be a birth defect called "atresia" which I'm leaning toward. OK onto pictures taken by Carla....:D

I'm amazed at how fast all the babies (nine so far) socialized.

Poor wee one eared girl who's probably deaf on that side.

What a cute couple! :) Hopefully they'll find a good furrever home! :)

I never heard of a birth defect like that. Poor little girl! But I guess the missing ear isn't bothering her very much, but maybe it's safer for her to become an indoor cat if possible?

Don't worry Kirsten...she's already safe inside, and the home I hope she's going to is the absolute best for her. ;) All inside and well cared for kitties, and I'll get to see her a lot as I cat sit, and clean for Jan & Doug. :D

They are so sweet! Glad to hear that a great home is planned for them. Since you will be in contact with them, you will be able to give frequent updates too!

[doolittleky]

aww, I heard about the two from Carla yesterday, she had fallen hard for little Ivy and Mike loved the snowshoe/siamese mix. I can see why because they both are adorable!

They're so sweet and tiny!!! Aww.... :)

[QueenScoopalot]

YAY!!!!! :D :D :D Ivy went to my friends yesterday morning, and they're both head & heels in love with her already. Jan emailed me that they have an appointment for her to be checked over on Wed. and given her first shot. :) I can't wait to hear if the vets think she has "atresia" or it's an old injury. :confused:

[doolittleky]

I am so happy for Jan and little adorable Ivy! I hope you will keep us updated on Ivy with pics maybe?????

[rg_girlca]

Oh Jan, they are absolutely adorable. I am so glad that your friends decided to adopt widdle Ivy and I'm sure that Dolly won't be staying with you too long either.

Congratulations on a job well done.:D

[luvofallhorses]

Oh my gosh how sweet are they? :) SO precious!

[momcat]

If they aren't the cutest little things! Love 'em both but the little one with one ear completely stole my heart! Please keep us updated?

[QueenScoopalot]

I'l be seeing Ivy or will her name be Dolly(?) in the morning. :D Jan & Doug can't help themselves, and are cuddling her non-stop lol! Hopefully the rest of the gang will be off for tests etc. if I have a moment that I'm not trapping. All are doing terrific...but there's still at least 6-8 more out there. The little Siamese boy is a purrbaby already, as are the rest. I love easy to tame babies. :)

Hi, Jan! I had to take another three or four looks at the pictures, they are so cute! How are the feral babies doing? If you get a chance, please give us an update?

Sweet little Ivy checked out purrfect at the vets on Wed. (everyone there fell madly in love with her too :) ) and she's being introduced to the rest of Jan & Dougs furkids (9 in all with Ivy, and 3 now from me :D ). The vets agreed it was a birth defect, and also that it's atresia. Jan called me yesterday to update me, and gave me a good laugh by telling me that she woke up Thursday around 1:30 AM wondering where Doug was. She found him downstairs cuddling the new baby lol...and he had to work the next day. :D She's got the best home now...and the rest are being fostered in preparation for adoption in a week or so after vet visits. ;)

[catfamily]

Gosh I really loved having them.Especially Ivy.Her eyes made you melt:D :D They both are perfect cats and so sweet.

[momcat]

Way to go, Jan. Sounds like a real happy ending! Thanks for the update.....
