What a beautiful family you have! And when I read of the kitty who was abused by some teenage boys, my heart ached but only for a second because she has such a good home now. Bless you for taking in the ones that are considered "throwaways". All 8 (now 7 since RB Peeka) of mine were considered lost causes either due to illness, abuse, neglect, birth defects, whatever. I have the best motley crew of felines you could ever want! I wouldn't trade my fur posse for the world! And yours are special and so are you.
