3 More Kits NOW WITH THEIR MAMA...MORE PICS POST #26 AND 27

[Reachoutrescue]

Thank you for all your kind and sweet words...but I am not angel!! Just trying to do my part to save lives...just like so many of you are!! The animals are the true angels!!

Well, the lady that trapped mama kit was calling her "Oreo". Dave and I do not think that fit her too well, so we have officially named her "Taylor", after Taylor Swift...as this kit is very quick!!! She is a fiesty one and gives us our run for our money!!!

Taylor is doing better today though. She hissed and spit at me when I took the litter box out of her cage to scoop, but was quiet when I put it back. She lets me handle her babies just fine, which is great. I gave her some canned Evo cat food and as she was eating I was able to pet her gently on her head. She just kind of looked at me with a warning glare, so I just stroked her gently and backed off. I think she will come around nicely, but for now, it is going to be snail slow!! Here are the pictures I promised you all. Enjoy!!

Poor Taylor cut her nose in the trap. It is healing nicely.




















That's all for now. I will keep updating you all as the days go by.

Those are some serious 'airplane ears' mama's got going on!! I'm sure Taylor is frightened though and trying to understand this human who is offering nothing but kindness. Something new for her I'm sure! Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job of caring for her and the kittens and I think your snail slow approach is going to work out well! Look forward to more pics down the road. Thanks for sharing them!

Thanks for sharing these pictures. I agree that Taylor looks scared and unsure about everything. Hopefully in time she'll feel much more secure with her surroundings.

Taylor is just beautiful! I can see how the babies are HERS for sure.

Wow, Tracey, if she is letting you pet her even a LITTLE bit, and handle her kittens...I think that bodes well for her settling down a bit.

Oscar was just recently tamed when I first got him - and the fellow had worked with him since spring, and he just started accepting forehead rubs in early November. He progressed quickly - and came home with me December 19.

Still...he had never been an indoor kitty for the first 2 1/2 - 3 years of his life...the first few times the toilet flushed, he RAN to the other end of the apartment! (Now he'll enjoy watching the water sometimes, and occasionally sits in front of the toilet wanting to 'watch the water'. )

Anyway, it took some progress...he is MY sucky boy, but shy of strangers, though he doesn't hide any more.

Those airplane ears on Taylor! Maybe you should have named her for Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator!

Please give her some scritchies for me when she gets to that point.

Sweet Taylor, I'm so glad you are with the baby kittens ... all will be well! gentle with one finger *pet

wow, sounds like you have made a little progress with mama Taylor! Of course she is scared, poor thing. I'm so glad that the babies are with their mama again. I'm sure with time and loving care she will calm down a bit.

Those babies are adorable!! And, yes, you are an angel for taking them in.
