I caught the stray and found her babies!

She has 4 solid black kittens.

Now I have.. 7 kittens... @_@

One of them is going to be a beautiful long hair, its fur is sooo silky and long.
They look to be about two days old.

I brought the momma in and fixed a place in the back bedroom in the closet. I put her and the kittens in there. She lets me touch her and the kittens. She just looks at me with that Mother look and purrs. She's so sweet.

When we brought her in to feed and water her, she ate and ate and ate and ate!

I guess I'll be making arrangements for these kittens to be fixed too.

Kittens overload!!

I'll have to post pictures of them when I'm able to get near her with the camera.

Goodness.. it's kittening season.

No matter the case, to me they're little angels. Not one person can deny the cuteness and innocence of a kitten, and most do what they can to keep them alive.

You are doing a great job taking them in and giving them a safe warm place to live and be raised without predators.

I can't wait to see pics!!

Thanks everyone for being so nice!

The new kittens are so beautiful, but they're really hard to see since they are pitch black, LOL!

I did notice that one of them has a tiny white patch on its chest. I attempted to check genders and it looks to me like 2 girls and 2 boys.

Kittens are indeed precious and innocent. How anyone could harm one, I don't understand.

Thats so wonderful of you to do

Is Mom tame?

Altogether, I have 7 kittens and 2 mommas!

My cat, Meatloaf, her kittens are opening their eyes.


But Blackie's mom (don't have a name for her yet, and I have one of her kittens named Blackie who is the father of Loafie's babies @_@)

There's 2 girls and 2 boys.

The girl I want is solid black with long silky fur, she's the only one with long fur that's how I can tell her apart.
One of the boys is solid black and has a white patch on his chest.

So I can tell them apart kinda but only if I check xD

I already have a few names picked out for the girls too

My female is Luna and the other female is Phoebe!!


I have lots of names picked out for the boys but can't decide which to give to who

Try giving them to Meatloaf. She might accept them and raise them. If she does you just want to be sure that all are getting enough milk. Larger ones may push the smaller ones away.

Did mom return?

Or Meatlof accepted them?

If not, you must start to feed them asap as it is 8-9 hours now.... And also stimulate their "natural needs".
I hope you do have kmr-milk of some sort easily to get.
Otherwise goat milk is ok... Temp a little higher than human body temp.


Good luck!

That's good! You had me worried there!
But, chances are she would have- it's the motherly instinct
