Oh my goodness, how cute.

How is the mommy doing...

I had a feral mommy who gave birth to two calico's, a full on grey and a jet black little male runt with the bluest eyes.  I'm not sure why this happens, perhaps genetics, like two blue eyed people having a brown eyed child...

I hope they are all well.  Best of luck...

They're lovely.

You might want to take mom's collar off, as kittens can get stuck in it.

Can you keep her inside and away from intact males until this litter has weaned?

It's great that your stepdad is able to help!  Does the dad cat belong to you as well?

Oh, dear! Keep those windows closed! He was certainly determined.

She can be spayed when the babies are 8 weeks old.
