They were eating good today, real active, real loudmouths, then they just went lethargic and cold. Tried to warm them up and they seemed to come around, but a couple hours later they were laboring to breathe and not crying anymore. Never saw a mother reject her litter before, not this young...

The other one wanted to be with its siblings too. Held both as they passed on, but they have a nice little spot in the corner of the yard and will get a rose bush planted tomorrow.

Sorry to report that one just passed, the other one is barely holding on, not sure if it will make it either. Perhaps Lumberyard knew they weren't strong enough and that is why she abandoned them. Will keep trying to keep the last one, but whatever God wants.

Lumberyard did birth the last kitten(s) somewhere. She does not care to be a queen. The two we were able to recover are doing well so far, hungry little beggars, but nothing unusual. I wish Lumberyard wanted to mother her kittens so we could reunite these two, but looks like they will be ours...

Got some kitten formula and the wife and I carefully snipped the cord and will feed them every couple of hours until the mom returns or we find somebody to take them on. But so far they are in a comfy box with some towels and they seem to be okay. Yes, they are loudmouths but took to the...

Lumberyard is an 11 month old female feral that lives in the woods around the house and just had at least 2 kittens in the yard. The first kitten was cleaned and nursing, when she went into labor with the next one. That one was left in the middle of the yard somewhat cleaned off but with the...
