    Two kittens and a mouse... or is it a rat!

    Some of you may remember the stray kitty I posted about some time ago. Yes, she has kittens - two of them. I saw them for the first time yesterday late afternoon, down at the building site. The mom was laying on a piece of plank and they were suckling. In my opinion, they must be at least a month old. They look healthy and are very playful.

    I called my neighbor around the corner and we both took some food and water down for them. Today, I talked with the girl in the yard who does the gardening and all sorts of odd things - she has 3 cats herself. She said, it shouldn't be difficult to find homes for the kittens, and agreed with me that the mom should be sterilized.

    When I mentioned the cat to her some months ago, she wasn't very keen on calling "Kattens Værn"* as she was afraid the kitty would be put to sleep.

    * An organizasion who trap, neuter, vaccinate and ear mark stray cats, and put them back - provided someone will sign a paper that they will be feeding them for the rest of their life. To have them do that, you need a requisition from the owner of the building and pay DKR, 100,-

    I haven't seem the mom or kittens all day today, my neighbor and I have just been down to look for them - no luck. I think she's in the other yards as well, and someone there may feed them too.

    Here's a few pictures.

    No danger, it seems, so down with the grub.


    Seems the mom had caught a mouse for them to play with.

    They sure are cute! It would be nice if you could find homes for all three.

    Awwww.... what beautiful babies they are!! I would say they are more like 2-3months. Maybe even older depending on size cats they are. My Cow who is 4 months is about that big, and chunky is bigger. I hope you can catch them and tame them a bit and find homes. Deffinately get mom spayed too.

    The mother sure is gorgeous and the kittens are adorable. Is the mother friendly at all or is she feral? It sure would be nice if they all could find loving forever homes. Do you think that Fister would accept a kitten in his household?

    Oh they are adorable! And mommy is a good one. Poor babies, I don't like seeing them in the street

    I think the toy is a rat....except if you have giant mutant mice in Denmark

    To me they look older than 2 months-old. I would say 3 months old. We have 8- and 10-weeks old babies at the shelther at the moment, and they are really smaller than these two.

    Would there be a rescue shelter other than the one you mention that could take care of them? Somewhere else in your country, even further...
    I am thinking about this because at the shelter where I volunteer in the NL we sometimes help each other with donations or exchanging kitties when we are too crowded. We did it with our Belgian and German neighbours.

    I was getting a little worried, as I've seen the mom cat two times this past week, but not the kittens. So today, I went to ask around, and it turns out that they're living happily in the workmen's huge shed. It's below the "office" and has a wooden floor and lots of places to lay around. I spoke to the office woman and a few others, and it seems that one of workmen will take the kittens when they close it all down in October. Not sure he'll also take the mom, but in any case we'll find a solution - and at least get her sterilized.

    I'm glad to hear that the momma & babies have a safe place to stay.
    I hope all goes well with capture & spay/neuter for them later on.
