There is an absolutely WONDERFUL shelter up in Tahoe that specializes in socalizing older ferals and puting them in good homes. If the Humane Society here can't/won't take the mother, Im going to contact the Tahoe shelter to see if they have room in thier fostering program for another kitty. My MIL got her older cat, Draco from them. He was not only a ferral, but an escape from an abusive home on top of it all. They did a great job with him and he went from being a snarling, hissing mass of angry fur to one of the most loveable lap cats I've seen...so there is ALWAYS hope!

The kittens Im not worried about. "Jeepers" (I like the name, if it doesn't stick it sure as heck is going to develop into a nickname!) is handling himself quite well. I do see a daddys cat though He's spent the last couple of hours curled up at the hubbys feet under his desk(after eating and drinking like a good boy). The other kittes have been ejected from our room, to give the little guy some time around people. He is an absolute doll and so are the others, so they shouldn't have any trouble getting placed.

Poor momma cat...I feel bad for her. She is awful tiny, I think she is either REALLY young or her growth has been stunted for some reason. She eats a lot though, from what I hear. I hope she isn't pregnant again...her poor body looks as if she can't handle another litter.
