Thanks for the welcome. The kitties were briefly checked over by a vet at a clinic that I first brought them to. My first intention was to bring them to a shelter. Since I didn't know if they were healthy or not AND didn't have any idea what to do with the little ones, I brought them to a clinic about 30 minutes away. This place is wonderful. They have a woman named Rose who does wildlife rescue. A few weeks back I had to bring in a tiny chipmunk that didn't end up making it after a few days because of a puncture to the lung from an outdoor cat, apparently (another reason for my not wanting the cats to be outdoors). Anyway, had the kittens been sick, they would have kept them - but the doctor did a quick check and found nothing wrong with them as of yet. So, now I had healthy kittens with no where to bring them. The local shelter is a no kill - but the problem is they are between dog officers - so noone is there full time. I brought them in there and a police office took the kittens and put them in a nice clean cage. Comfortable looking enough, sure...but with volunteers only coming in to feed them twice a day and do some cleaning, I felt that they woudn't get the love and socialization I felt they needed. So, after torturing myself all day with pictures running through my mind of the poor little things, I sprung them out the same night. I'm so glad I did. They are a lot of work - but oh lord, are they adorable. You may have noticed that in the pictures, Precious doesn't quite look as fluffy as the others. That's because when the food goes down, she is literally in it!!! She's the runt, and the slow learner of the bunch, god love her. I just hope I can find good homes for the two Calico's.
