First I would like to say thank you to all of the people who take the time to educate people on how to care for Kittens.
We found a mama cat and 2 babies in our back yard. We thought that she was fixed, but I guess not.
A local animal shelter (North Shore Animal League) will take the babies and fix mom once the babies are 2 pounds and not sick. One kitten has what looks like pink eye goo. Her eyes get goo'd closed. This local shelter's vet is over an hour away and I am looking into closer affordable places. I cleaned the eyes today with a wet warm cotton ball.
Should I continue to do this until we take her to a vet?? (probably on Sat.)
We were advised to socialize with the kittens. I can pick them up and play with them. Mama sees that I am here to help not hurt. She does cries/purry meows when I am holding the babies.
How do we socialine them??
We have 2 soon to be one years in the house and one human 9 year old, so we can not take these babies in as our own. Eventough I asked hubby. One day these babies will be in someones home. I thought about sending baby pix with them to the shelter. Is this stupid?
