My son discovered a litter of kittens in his old truck. After several attempts we caught the surviving four kittens. My son doesn't know much about cats and I love kittens so I brought the babies to my house.
We are cat people with six indoor cats and a colony of outdoor cats that ranges from ten to fifteen.
We caught them in stages. First one and the next time we got two. The last kitten joined us last Monday. They were old enough to leave mom. They eat canned food and some kibble. They really like shredded chicken too. Mom is not feral but does not seem to have anyone taking care of her. My son has been feeding here. We are taking her to be spayed on Tuesday.
I think that they are seven or eight weeks old. They are all doing so well. They eat like pigs and have lost their fear. They have met a couple of our inside cats and aside from a couple of half hearted hisses they did fine.
They play with toys a lot and with each other. Just the last day or two they have started to purr when I pick them up.
They were covered with fleas and got a bath with Dawn .We didn't want to stress them any more right away so we bathed them all the day we brought the last one home. I chsnge the bedding very day to keep flea eggs from hatching. They will get another bath before they go to their new homes. Luckily, they are all spoken for.
We love the kittens and I just wanted to share a story with a happy ending.
