Thank God you are there for these sweet innocent kittens MA.
I will be praying that your healing hands can bring them through this.
R.I.P. little Nugget
I'm so sorry you lost little Nugget, but at least he knew love, if only for a short while. I'll keep praying for his mates, that they grow strong in your care -- they've at least got a fighting chance, with you on their side.
Poor babies...they can't be more than a few days old!
So many times we read or hear about kits in dire straits due to the ignorance or cruelty of humans. These little ones had to take the hit from Mother Nature. How unfair.
They're in the best hands possible. Bless you and Mike for taking in yet more waifs.
you never ever cease to amaze me MaryAnne - bless you, and its an honour for me to call someone like you a friend
RIP sweet angel nugget, I am so sorry your time here was so short, but you were loved, play happily sweetheart
sending lots of love and thoughts across the ocean to the remaining hay babies - stay strong little ones, you have lots of support behind you from all over the world
Thanks Kate, they just need prayers and strong thoughts. Feeding time is a joy, it is elimination time that is so rough for them. They scream at the top of their lungs and I know that it must hurt, either because they are not fully developed yet or when they were left out in the cold their organs started to shut down and now I am demanding they come back to life.
I cry every time they poop on my hand, for it is a large victory for a small kitty. I am sure the momcat abandoned them, sensing something was not right, as they do not typically have kittens out in the middle of a field because of the potential for exposure. I just hope someone finds momcat and spays her so this doesn't have to happen again. This, perhaps a consequence of an inbred-inbred colony, or just fate and allowed to happen. I just want them to live, to have a chance at a life they were almost denied.
MA, you are truly an angel...............I just found this thread and want to add that I think those kits couldn't be in better hands...........RIP little Nuggett, and mega vibes to the remaining kits............
