These little guys (Muse, Enigma, Oasis, Blur, Mogwai, Pixie & Nirvana) have a very sad story.

We have been trying to catch their mom for a while and knew she was pregnant. On Saturday night, someone who lives near where we last seen their mom found her dead on the road, she had obviously been hit hard and it was too late to save her.

We weren't open yesterday so they kept them until this morning and we have been handfeeding them today and they went home with fostermoms tonight.

That brings our total handfeeders up to 13 and as you can hear, motherless kittens are NOISY!


**WARNING - CUTENESS AND my cats are all looking for the kittens they think I brought home**

We had to take an adult cat back from one of our foster moms so she could take some of the babies but she was ready to come over to the shelter after nursing her babies anyway, we were just waiting for space but yep, they are all with fosters now.

13 screaming mouths to feed can give you a real headache after 8 hours in the shelter

Oh Goodness those babies bring back memories. I spent so many years as the orphan foster mommy. My Pumpkin hear those cries and came running with the look "were are the babies!" He loves babies.

You have had a lot of orphans this fall!

Just testing the video was enough to upset Autumn, she swears I have kittens hidden on my desk somewhere.

Yes, this is the 3rd litter we have got from momma cats being hit by cars

That is such a tragedy for their Moms

May they Rest In Peace


Those little babies are sooooooo precious


I wonder if Autumn has had any babies before. None of my cats are bothered by kitten cries, except Easy and she reverts back to being a Momma and starts panicking when she hears kitten cries. So I had to listen with the volume low, but I still got to hear those precious tiny meows

We know of two litters Autumn had before we caught her and she was pregnant when she came into the shelter so she definitely heard those cries before.

Autumn is still searching for kittens, I may take a foster home and see how she reacts

I can't see the video right now (youtube is down) but I must say I love their names ! If we ever get a girl kitty, Pixie is pretty high on our list too, we used to have a black fantail named Black Francis


I hope the little ones will do well with their foster mommies.

Aww... poor babies. That sound is all to familiar to me (it's how I found Frankie, she was screaming her head off under a porch) but neither of mine are phased by it, Aparently Frankie doesn't remember that far back.

Those kittens are so cute!
That is too bad that their mom was hit by a car.
Both of my cats had litters last summer at their old home and they both started looking for the kittens when I played the video.
They would look under the laptop and then look at each other like they were saying "They're not my kittens, are they your kittens?"

They are quite the handful (and earful!). Poor little orphan Annies...

My boys looked up lazily from their respective napping places and had a brief glance around for the noisy kittens. Then they went back to sleep.
