Take or Leave Them: Help??? (Oh My God #15, Update #25) (& Pictures #28!)

[Catty1]

"bottle peanuts" That is SO cute!

If they are staying in the same place, maybe momma left them there...she might not come back til night time...but you'd think they have to be nursed pretty often.

Tough call - I'd say take them in if you can, see if another shelter can foster them...if the momcat shows up, you will HEAR her calling for her kittens! I hope she is tame enough to pick up and bring to her babies.

The place you are staying - does your friend have a large dog kennel or something to keep them in?

Good luck!

Gina,

I'd take them in. There are way too many predators out there. If the mama sees you she's liable to move them fearing they'll be in danger. Then you'll never find them.

Good luck.

When you check on them, are you always taking Crayola out with you?

He might be scaring momma cat off.

you're not gonna believe what I'm going to write..

ok, I was napping.. about 40 minutes later, I woke up to see how dark it is but guess I wasn't quite in my mind; very tired. then I looked over my body barely realizing I saw nobody, not a cat. it was just odd, usually I'd have at least one cat on me AND one around in the room too. again, my fuzzy mind so I thought to go back sleep for another five minutes. crayola was by me and had his ears perked up very little - means not something so alert but...

forget it! I went downstairs and see what the kids were UP to.. I walked down and saw almost all of my cats straggling over something in the center. I walked in, bended over ... it was one of kitties I saw wiggling right there!! (the all black one).

HOW THE HECK DID IT GET IN HERE???!? I picked it up quickly before she (appears to be a girl) gets hurt and while my mind was blogging, checking the windows, I saw zephyra coming down the stairs all wet and webbed scruffing in the another one! I gently removed him (seems to be a boy) from her mouth and ran upstairs - there was a tiny window up in attic we forgot to fix and close! well, my heartcat zephyra is soo small, a petite - tiny enough to go through that window crack anyway! now guess who made the decision for me!

I was so amazed and am still antonished by this... I walked outside to figure how in the world did she climbed down and back up with the babies! she must have heard them crying and went for them. (but that's my girl!!) I then realized they're in my hands crrrying and wigggling I ran over to the store and got an emergency kit (KMRmix). they ate pretty well - it was hard to get the (black/white) boy to eat! and are sleeping snuggly right now in a cozy shoebox.

oh boy.. I'm proud of my little girl and of my boy crayola!! how I love their instincts.. I'm glad crayola told me earlier or else I'd have an heart attack seeing two wiggling little peanuts out of nowhere. I'm so proud of them!! they will for sure get a lot of treats.

excuse me while I breath this out... and will be back with more details on them.

Truly amazing kitty you have, Gina! May God watch over your new little peanuts... please keep us updated.

Hugs,
Crystal

WOW! I can imagine your astonishment!

What a sweet little Zephyra you have.

I am glad they ate well, and I pray they will continue to thrive, as long as they are warm.

Has Zephyra shown any signs of wanting to mother and cuddle them?

I know you just moved and all...but hopefully you can take some pics!

{{{hugs}}} Give Zephyra some treats and scritchies for me!

Wow, Zephrya is an amazing little girl. That must be nice that she made up your mind for you. Obviously the mama cat had not come back. That makes me worry even more about her.

Somebody may have just dumped the kittens, mother cat might not have been there at all. Glad they have a safe place to stay.
