The babies are doing great and the mama is treating them like her own! They seem so happy to have a mommy again!

Thanks so much for all the prayers!! Never underestimate TCS magic!
I'm glad everything is going well....however normally, I don't recommend placing orphaned kittens with a nursing mom because you don't know if the kittens will spread a disease to the other kittens or/and to mom. The only exception I would make is if both sets of kittens and mom cat has been vet checked.

They are at my moms house now, since that is where the mama cat is most comfortable already.

TNR, the mama cat and her kittens were vet checked when mom found them, and before I took the kittens to her, I had mine checked too. Luckily I have a very good relationship with my vet and he was able to weasle me in this morning. All kittens are healthy as well as the mama. The only thing he could find wrong with the two I had was that they were underweight. I was very pleased considering what they had been through! I meant to post all this earlier, but I guess I forgot in all the excitement! I just wanted you all to know that they are doing so great!! Thanks for the advice TNR, it was a big concern of mine too. We're not doing any good if we're hurting more kittens than we're helping!!

That is wonderful!! They have a mommy to nurse and she loves them. I am so glad it turned out like this because NOTHING is better for the babies than mom's milk...

Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Yay! the kitties found a foster mummy, how fortunate for you. Sending vibes to help the kitties fatten up a bit, lol.

Hope to see some pictures of the kitties and their new mummy.
