OMG Kim, your heart has got to be pure gold!

I want to help some way. Let me put my thinking cap on. If I can't adopt one (which isn't 100% ruled out) maybe I can help in some other way.

I've been trying Kim. I've shown Josephine's babies picture to my sister and a friend in hopes they might want to adopt. They are the only ones I feel would be good enough for these babies. Both have said no thanks but I'm trying.

Well, maybe if Richard comes and actually sees these babies in person .... he might just melt like butter and want one himself!!!

Kim, I just took in a mom cat and her two kittens last week (The Dairy Queen) and they were seething with fleas as well. I put one drop of Advantage on the kittens, and an adult dose on the mom cat. Many shelters (including the one that had been nearby for 30 something years, and closed doors with little warning) apply Advantage to tiny ones, but never any more than one drop. I've had no problems doing this, and it beats having a flea infestation, and anemic kittens. It must be incredibly frustrating to not have any support from area shelters. It makes it so hard to adopt out this avalanche of kittens!

OH, I fear that baby will not make it How sad.

I've given advantage to mothers (which according to jan one can buy over the counter now at some pet stores) and washed newbies with Ivory soap (jan- julia swears by Ivory and it did work back when I was doing all the foster care and dealt with fleas, ringworm etc). Of course I had to be diligent with treating my cats, all bedding, floors, baseboards etc for a couple months... KIM! AVOID Flea infestation at all costs! It will take over your house! And they carry those icky tape worms... the ones that have mouths you can see ya know! And lest I forget, Bravo for your bravery! Is Tabitha now seething with jealousy? Any way you can get that one kitten back?

Kim, I don't know what to say, other than that I admire you so much, and you are in my prayers every day. Bless you for doing the wonderful work you do for these kitties. Your hubby sounds like an absolute angel too - you are so lucky to have someone so supportive of you!!
