Kittens!

Someone dumped off 5 newborn kittens under our bushes a couple days ago.. They were in a box with a towel in it so I know a mother cat didn't have them there.
They still have their umbilical cords attached, and their eyes are not open.
I was outside smoking, and Alize kept trying to get to something in the bushes.. I got a flashlight and went to see what it was..

Anyway, I finally got in contact with a local cat rescue, and they took them.. I've bottle fed pups before, but haven't had experience with baby kittens, so I wanted someone that did to take them. I've been keeping in contact with the lady that has them and so far all 5 are still doing good..

Here are some pictures of the babies I took before I took them to the lady that is bottle feeding them.






There is 2 black ones.. One had a tail, and one had no tail at all.



The little light grey one.. This one was my favorite.

He or she had a corkscrew tail.


A few more pictures coming.

Then there was the twin tabbies. One had a short tail, and one had a long tail.

How terrible of these "people" to dispose of them in such a way!! They should have let the mother raise them, then find them homes, and for goodness sakes, fix the mother!!!!! Not sure, but the description you give of the tails (corkscrew, short and no tail) suggest that these are from a Manx parent. I was just reading up on the Manx last week. I hope they all grow up well and healthy and find great homes.

Oh goodness, why couldn't the person have waited a bit before she separated the babies from their mother? Well, maybe something happened to the mother; perhaps she died or abandoned her kitties (the latter not too likely). Anyhow, I'm glad that someone is taking care of them now and that you were able to find someone so quickly. Please keep us posted on how the little sweeties are doing.

awww..... what sweet little faces. I bottle-raised several kittens and puppies back when I had more free time. I worked at a vet clinic so at least I could take them to work with me, LOL.
