Kim, when I saw these pictures, they reminded me of the times a few years ago when I used to monitor the births of kittens. Is this mama's first litter? Some cats make better moms than others in caring for their first litter. I have had some moms in the past who really didn't know what to do with them.I particularly like the little orange kitty, which is probably a male, After mom dries them off, and begins to nurse, if you pick each kitten up and compare weight, you will find that the male kitties will weigh more than the females. Most of the littlest of the litter are females.
Anyway, congratulations for helping her by providing a safe and warm environment for her brood. You are doing a great job, and who knows, you may be giving some ideas to others on this forum about starting a feline rescue service.
