Look what I found on my back porch today!

MOFF...maybe put out some wet food - the babies will have good noses and hopefully will find it.

This is SO sad.

All 5 babies are alive and under my back porch. Turns out there is a tiny crack where the porch meets the house that is just kitten size!!!

I couldn't rest so went outside. I swore I heard meowing but couldn't find it. I just happened to go around the house and see 2 black kitty bums scoot under the house. I got some wet food for them. The piggies ate almost 2 cans of wet food.

I'll have to leave them under the house right now. I know no dog can get under there. They have dirty noses and were shaking, more from fright than anything I think but all are alert and at well.

One of the black ones is really scared of me. I may have been able to catch one or two of the others but figured they had enough trama for now. They are better together.

At least I know they are ok and have full tummies.

Thanks so much for the prayers and well wishes. Those sure helped. I think maybe Lilac helped me find them too.

Ok, who wants a kitty?

Oh my goodness. This is a roller coaster of emotions. First I had tears of sadness, sorrow and worry. And now I have tears of joy that the kittens are alive.

RIP Lilac

And again, if I lived closer one of those babies would be mine!!

I am just now reading this.

No no no, The momma Lilac is dead?
She probably distracted the dog, or whatever it was, long enough to
make sure the babies were safe.

I am just crushed.

Sorry Moff.

Brave Lilac - brave Mom who made sure her babies were safe, under your porch!

Oh yes, what a roller coaster!

Kinda of opposite Mama Winnie - she and one kitten survived. This time, the mama cat died and all her kittens are ok.

Sad...but happy news about the babies.

RIP Lilac. I'm so sorry to hear about her MOFF. I am in tears reading this post. Thank god you found the babies safe...I hope they can soon be moved inside w/ you, a rescue group or something. I lost a cat that wasn't mine but was dear to me to 2 dogs, the irresponsible owners allowed them to run free just about every weekend. I wish I lived closer. We would get those babies and give them so much love!! I will keep you and the babies in my prayers. And please give Angel, Winnie, Grandma and Chester some loving from me.

If you spend time with them, and they know you are the source of FOOD, you will be able to socialize them. I am sure your vet would find them wonderful homes. Any vet that would offer to pick you up and drive you to their office with a sick kitty has their heart in the right place.

What a relief to know the babies are safe under your porch! Somehow I thought they would be close by since Lilac brought them right to you. Given time and food, the babies will come to trust you. Maybe it would help them if you softly talk to them when you're outside.

Hey there sweet and beautiful babies, lots of us are cheering for you and praying for you. Just remember that you'll be safe under the porch so please don't wander around, okay?

I have checked back all afternoon hoping for news on the babies. What a huge sigh of relief that they are safe and now have full bellies!! Lilac knew what she was doing, choosing you to watch over her little ones.
