Mama kitty, this picture is from 2010 so she looks really young. She turns 6 this year.

Snickers, 4 years old

Tiger, she is a girl (my son named her) 4 years old

Maddie, 4 years old

Tess, Tess has been missing since July 2012. We

miss her very much. 4 years old

Christopher, not sure how old he is.

I just wanted to introduce my feral cat family. Mama kitty is the mama to Snickers, Tiger, Tess and Maddie. Christopher started coming to my house to eat back in 2010, he only came every once and a while but now he is a regular. He is just now rubbing up against my legs when I feed him. All of them have been spayed and neutered.

What beautiful cats!  They all look healthy and well-cared for - good job!

I was sorry to hear about Tess.  Outside kitties face such dangers but maybe she found another compassionate person.

Thank you for taking a look at my fur babies. I think Tess is being taken care of, I have been in touch with an animal communicator and she told me a man was taking care of other cats and she is with them. Tess said the energy was to intense at my place. She was the only one who moved across the street when she got older but still came crying when it was time to eat. One day she just didn't show up again. I was able to pet her so she was special to me.

Mama kitty had 5 girls in her first litter but I didn't know anything about TNR and she ended up having another litter of 6 girls a few months after having the first litter. I was able to get all six in the second litter, had to bottle feed a few of them and found homes for all 6 kittens. I found someone in our neighborhood who helped me trap and spay the ones I am caring for now. I also had a orange kitty who I named Baby boy but he got very sick and I lost him in 2012. I also lost Sassy one of the kittens from the first litter when she was 8 months old. I have photos of them in the Rainbow Bridge forum. I am trying to get  a recent picture of mama kitty but it's hard getting pictures of them.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Oh they're beautiful and look so healthy! (And well-fed! ;) ). :heart2:

Your Snickers looks like our Peanutbutter. :)

I always say loving feral cats is an exercise in complete, unconditional love and letting go of control. :sigh: I sometimes really HATE the dynamics and wish they would all just get along! Two of the girls that were SO friendly two years ago I almost never see now. :( And they turned up AFTER Baloo (who is not aggressive, but territorial), so they were used to him being pushy. I guess they just got tired of it.

:sigh:

Yes they are all fed well, a little to well I think as I have the biggest feral cats in the neighborhood
. I love the name Peanutbutter. I also want to thank you again for setting me up with the animal communicator, It helped me a lot dealing with the loss of Tess. I don't worry as much and I know she is being well taken care of. You have been a wonderful help to me since joining this site.
