kuhio – the babies are no longer here. They were 6 weeks old on Monday, and went to a place where they are warm and loved and getting all appropriate Vet care. And good homes will be found for them. Thank you for the list of shelters – it is much appreciated. I can’t foster the Momma and her other daughter. We have four of our own – that’s one more than we planned on. Douglas is allergic and we are retired, on fixed incomes. If I could, I would, but I can’t!!

jenluckenbach – I wish it were as easy as talking to her!! We have had difficulties with this woman and her animals going back 5 years. The last time I spoke with her – when the kittens were a month old, and Momma had brought them back to where they were born – she gave me this long song-and-dance story about one of her daughters seems to be allergic, and she doesn’t know where she will be moving, yada, yada, yada. I call and tell her the cats are here – she sends one of the kids over – the next morning the cats are back. The animals LIVE in her garage. They are never in the house. She leaves the garage door open about 4-5 inches at the bottom. There are not kitty beds or rugs to sleep on; the daughters just throw the food on the cement floor. And since her divorce, and he doesn't give her any $ $ $, she doesn't have enough to have the cats fixed!! But there's enough for dancing lessons for the kids, and enough to pay somone else to cut her grass. She disgusts me!!

Momma brought the kittens back Monday – no one from that house has so much as asked if any of the neighbors have seen them.

I mentioned in my original post that Momma had a litter in April, and they kept one of those kittens. He is now 6 months old, and has been living with us for a month – and no one has ever asked if any of us have seen him. He has been neutered, had all appropriate vaccines, and decided living indoors is a wonderful thing!!

The last two, Momma and her daughter from the first litter (June of 2002) have been sleeping on our back porch every night for the past week. I wonder if anyone over there has even noticed they are gone??
