Look at my babies :)

I'm pleased all the kitties are doing so well! I know they're hard work! I love the pics (I know I said it before but especially those with Reece - they are priceless).

[sammi]

Boy Lynn if that isn't a fitting picture!!!!

Aly, I just saw this post - I guess I have been looking for pictures and a update on the general board! Why I don't know. But those kitties are sooo cute! I can just picture you feeding them with a bottle and snuggling them up with Reece!

Trust me, I'm not offended. I'm a poop expert by now!

Great pics Aly. Your kittens are adorable. It's great that Reece is acting like a second mother too. When our family cat had kittens our female dog also acted like a second mother. Since the cat and dog were best friends, the cat didn't mind. She let her wash and play with her kittens. It was so cute.

Gee, I haven't been on Pet Talk much lately at all. All I ever do is take care of kittens and go to work, I don't even have time for sleep. Just when I got to the point where I could sleep for 4-5 hours at a time, new kittens were dumped and I had to take them or they would die. So I'm back to up every two hours and I now have 8 kittens ranging from 1 week to 5 weeks old. Here are pics of the two newest ones (sorry they are blurry - better pics to come):

They are precious. Thanks for sharing the pics. Now try to get some sleep.

I lost a kitten this morning. I'm no t handling it well at all. The vet said it was a birth defect and nothing I could have done about it but I cana't help but think would she still be alive fi someone else was taking care of her ?

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to here about your loss Aly.Like the vet said it was nothing that you did because it was a birth defect. I know it hurts now but at least the little one didn't suffer. {{Hugs}}

{{{Aly}}},

You've put so much time and energy into so many little babies lately. I know it hurts to lose one, but you need to believe the vet on this that it was entirely outside your control. The little darling is at the Rainbow Bridge now having known so much love from you. I believe it's your tiredness that making you question yourself right now and that's no good for you or for the other babies. Is the pressure of the baby care still as intense right now? Can you get some time for you to heal?

Worried about you,
A.L.

Re-reading this it sounds harsh, and I don't mean it that way at all. The baby couldn't have been saved, but it is adding to your pressures and I'm worried for you is what I'm trying to say. Sorry to be phrasing it badly. {{{hugs}}}

I only discovered this thread right now ... ! Wow , you are a SUPER MOM !!! I admire you !!
Those tiny kitties all look so cute and adorable ... ! What happens to them once they are saved and can eat on their own ? Does the shelter look for new homes then ???
I wish there was a place like that nearby here !!! I would be spending lots of hours there , that's a certainty !!!

please send us more pictures ; we all love those !!! THANKS !!!!!

I've been feeling so bad and not getting over it at all but I did manage to make it through work today and I saved 2 kitties from bad situations so it is making me feel a little better. I will give more details later. As for now, I've got kittens and dogs galore to feed (Yes I have an extra dog tonight too - can you say EXHAUSTED?)

More to come.....

Aly, I'm not sure your body would know what to do with a full night's sleep. I do hope you're taking good care of yourself, eating decent food and resting when you can. You're no good to anyone if you're sick.

Hug those babies. I'm so sorry about the one you lost. But I can't help but to smile when I realize how many will have life because of your efforts.

**HUGS TO YOU ALY!!!**
I really admire you!! It takes a very special person to do what you do. I can imagine that you are hurting for your lost kitty but imagine if he would have never found you... he had warm happy days for his little short life because of your kindness. Those little babies are just sooo precious, I wish I could take them for a couple of hours so you could rest (but then you might never get them back) Hang in there girl. We are behind you 100% Keep us posted. **HUGS to the Reece Man too for bein such a good helper!!**

Here is a picture of one of my new ones. He doesn't have a name yet. He's SOOOOOOO sweet. He was hissing at first but within 5 minutes of stroking and cuddling and kissing, he was a purr machine! Now he won't leave my side. He screams if he's alone and just falls right to sleep in my arms whenever I go get him. He has to stay seperated in the laundry room tonight though until I get him tested for FIV. If he and my other new kitty both test negative, then they will be able to play together.

Anyway, some landscaping man found this kitty in a tree. He put him down on the ground because he thought he'd go find his mother, but he just ran under a big rig and screamed. The man said that if we didn't take it, he didn't have time to take it to the city shelter so he'd throw it back in the field he found it in. Our Receiving person still said no so I said I'd take him home until we have room at our shelter.
