That is so nice that you were able to save those Kittens , as a Barn Cats life is no picnic. Michael was a Barn Cat , and I was able to save him , before the Farmer drowned him. Prayers for the Kittens and you!
so precious. Do they have names?
Look at all those little white paws! Awww!
:D
Aww, what sweet and beautiful babies!:)
Can someone please explain what exactly a barn cat is, its not a term I am familiar with in NZ.
We used to have a cat on the farm, to catch the mice etc, but she stayed in our home and was our pet, and we also fed her, so I guess a barn cat is different, is it a cat they keep just to catch mice, and fend for itself or what.
It looks like these kittens have it pretty good though, so will be taken care of real well, sure hope so.
Barn cats are typically cats that aren't pets, and live outside in the barn to help control vermin.Quote:

Depending on the barn owner, some barn cats have it great and some don't.
Most of the people around here are starting to see how valuable these kitties can be and are starting to spay/neuter and vaccinate. Not all have it so great, tho.
Thanks, I kinda thought this is what a Barn Cat was, I guess some donot get looked after well, and have vet treatment etc when needed, so it could be a tough life, the ones in the pic though look very healthy and well taken care of.
