"Rescued new-born kittens, need advice"
kevlin is working in N.O. we live about a hr from where he is working but any way he found 8 littens that was born sat but no mom to them two are near death so hes on his way to bring them home so we can try to save them we have never took care of baby kittens please tell us what we can do to try and save them
8 Little Babies down to 7
Ok I made it in with the babies, 1 which was white and black passed away shortly after I made it home. There are 6 black with small traces of white and 1 smoke grey. They where in a closet of a building where the Steamboats Dock on the Mississippi River. I have to give the baby a name and I think Mississippi Queen would do her fine.
Now to the story of how this came about, Upon me arriving on the site today I was asked by a State Trooper if I liked cats, My reply was yes he told me there were some Kittens about 1 to 2 days old in a closet and that he had not seen a mother cat since he had been there. They called animal control and they have not returned his call. OOP's animal control in New Orleans you have to be kidding Right. A city with no one to Adopt hmmm wonder what would happen!!! Any way I looked into the closet which had a cold Cement floor The white and black baby barely moving, No Mommy kitty seen in the area in two days. I would rather them be here than me leave them there to die. The trooper seems to think the mommy either abandoned, got hit by a train, or fell into the river. I told him I would take the babies and do my best to raise and find them homes.
We tried with white and black to bring him back to health but we were to late. The wife is so upset Keeps saying " I wish we could have got to them sooner." I told here with a litter of 8 kittens we will do good if we can save the other 7. We will post pics and keep you all updated. Keep those babies in your Kitty Prayers. Thanks Kev and Rhonda
