First call today from the local humane society, asking me if my rescue can take 4 newborns who were brought in. Umbilical cords still intact.
It's so frustrating that they don't ask questions, where the babies were found and educate them on the fact that moms don't simply abandon their babies, they were well cared for until the human showed up, and are simply hiding until the human leaves.
But noooo! They have to steal her kids, imagine what she feels when she sees they are gone.
I've been trying to get them to change the newborn intakes, rather than taking them, ask the person if they can return them where they were found and give it about 4 weeks. Before feral and before they can run away from you, but after they are stronger and have their momma caring for them.
Saddens me so.
Anyway! Here's the first little crew of this year's kitten season!
