Kittens!

[molucass]

Someone dumped off 5 newborn kittens under our bushes a couple days ago.. They were in a box with a towel in it so I know a mother cat didn't have them there.
They still have their umbilical cords attached, and their eyes are not open.
I was outside smoking, and Alize kept trying to get to something in the bushes.. I got a flashlight and went to see what it was..

Anyway, I finally got in contact with a local cat rescue, and they took them.. I've bottle fed pups before, but haven't had experience with baby kittens, so I wanted someone that did to take them. I've been keeping in contact with the lady that has them and so far all 5 are still doing good..

Here are some pictures of the babies I took before I took them to the lady that is bottle feeding them.






There is 2 black ones.. One had a tail, and one had no tail at all.



The little light grey one.. This one was my favorite.

He or she had a corkscrew tail.


A few more pictures coming.

Then there was the twin tabbies. One had a short tail, and one had a long tail.

How terrible of these "people" to dispose of them in such a way!! They should have let the mother raise them, then find them homes, and for goodness sakes, fix the mother!!!!! Not sure, but the description you give of the tails (corkscrew, short and no tail) suggest that these are from a Manx parent. I was just reading up on the Manx last week. I hope they all grow up well and healthy and find great homes.

Oh goodness, why couldn't the person have waited a bit before she separated the babies from their mother? Well, maybe something happened to the mother; perhaps she died or abandoned her kitties (the latter not too likely). Anyhow, I'm glad that someone is taking care of them now and that you were able to find someone so quickly. Please keep us posted on how the little sweeties are doing.

awww..... what sweet little faces. I bottle-raised several kittens and puppies back when I had more free time. I worked at a vet clinic so at least I could take them to work with me, LOL.

SO CUTE, love them.

I'm so glad that you were able to save these sweethearts. Some people I swear have no feelings. It's sad though that the kittens won't have their mom with them but it looks like they are in great hands.

What a horrible thing to do to tiny creatures of God, why couldnt they have taken these babies to a shelter where they could have taken care of!!!

I pray that one day that someone abandons these people in a nursing home one day with the callousness they showed these Kittens.

We pray that you can get these Kittens through this critical stage of thier tiny lives.

How so Sweet they all are.. I am so glad they are all still doing good.. Oh yes I have bottle raised bunch of kittens in the past.. Its alot of work but well worth it..

[Catty1]

Great news! Think she might update with PICS here and there?

She should join up with us - when she is rested up from overnight feedings, that is! :-)

They are just too sweet.

I hope the human that dumped them will at least get the mom fixed...they can't live too far away. Idiot! Or maybe just needs some education. At least they were dumped in a box near your house...and not in a field somewhere. Still...thank goodness they were found by you!

[Randi]

It's sad that anyone could dump them like that, the poor kitties miss their mom of course. But I'm glad that you were the one who found them. I hope they'll all survive in the care of the woman from the shelter - at least she has some experience.

Thanks for helping them - and thanks for sharing he pictures, they're SO cute!

I was wonderfing if they had a surrogate Momma Cat at the Shelter , who could give those Babies the anti bodies they need at this young age.
They are all so tiny, and we cant wait to see updates on The Fearless Fivesome!!!!

[carole]

Thank goodness they were dropped at your house, and you certainly did the right thing taking them to a shelter with the experience to take care of them, they are adorable, and sounds like they are going to do well there,as for the so called human beings that dumped them, i have no words that i can repeat on here to say about them.

Yay for Alizé and Molucass for finding these widdle ones and looking after them!
