Two Kittens

[Bonny]

The last two weeks I have been taking care of two of the barn kittens & moved them into the basement sunroom. Whitey an angora about 2 months old contracted pneumonia & wasn't drinking his special kitten formula. I found him in the basket dehydrated & very sick. I went and got some amoxicillin at the veterinaries. He wasn't eating or drinking so used a syringe to hand feed him. It did not look good for about 3 days. Then Whitey snapped out of it & is doing really fine now.

About 3 days ago I did the barn chores & went to town. While I was gone hubby was outdoors & our dogs were barking at something in the barn yard. Bear another kitten got himself frozen to the water tank pipe. Hubby got some warm water & thawed Bear off the pipe. He bought him into the sunroom & laid him in the cat kennel & Whitey went & laid with Bear. I got somemore Amoxicillin for Bear to ward off infection. He is another long haired kitten. Hubby wrapped the pipe in burlap so none of the other longer haired cats won't get stuck. I keep the sunroom at 40 degrees & both kittens are comfortable. Both the sweethearts are doing fine & will be indoors until spring. The dogs literally saved Bears life.

Wow, Bonny, hubby and your dogs! What a great story! How sweet of Whitey to go and lay by Bear Happy, long life to you, kittens!

Not good at posting pictures so will describe the two boys. Whitey is 3 months old, snowwhite with long angora hair & blue eyes with light brown on his ears, around his eyse, nose , mouth, & tail. . Years ago a neighbor moved away & left his siamese tomcat behind. Our whole neighborhood has siamese crossed cats.

Bear is 4 l/2 months old a dark grey angora with beautiful green eyes.

They both sleep in the kennel at night & their purring is really loud. They are the best of buds.

What a wonderful story! God bless you, and Hubby and dogs, for looking after these dear babies! ..and Whitey for cuddling up with Bear to warm him up after he was unfrozen from the pipe.

Thank you so VERY much, all of you.

I can think of two little kittens who are very thankful to you, your husband, and your dogs for getting them free of the pipe and into a safe and warm place. They sound absolutely adorable and such good news that they're best friends already. Bless all of you for caring enough to help these babies in need! Do you plan on keeping them?

Bear & Whitey will spend the winter in the basement & sunroom until March sometime. They will join the other barn cats next spring. I have boxes filled with straw during the winter months for the barn cats. They huddle together, & during the day when the sun is out there is a shelve with boxes full of straw where they can sit & sun themselves in the barn windows.
