Hello all,
I've been caring for a small family of 3 kittens since I noticed them under my back sundeck porch in May. Over the last 5 months they thrived (the kitties were getting the same Innova Evo/California Naturals diet I fed my own l'il guy, Plucky!) and they have grown to be adorable friends, greeting me morning and night and even following me around the block on walks!
I set them up with a pair of small rubbermaid shelters lined with straw, and have ordered them one of these heated pads http://cozywinters.com/shop/kh-1070.html with another to come soon.
Today, Montreal was hit with its first storm of the winter; high winds, blowing snow, 30 centimetres of snow (a good foot or so). My little guys wouldn't use their shelters and instead were huddling under balconies. The two small females have snow caked into their belly fur, while the male seems to be having a fun time with it all.
Should I be worried? Will they be ok until the heated pads arrive and I can add them to the little shelters? I've already taken one female into the vet for an abcess under her eye...and they all are so loving and trusting...I want them to be safe.
I asked my room mates to allow them into the house; no go. So, I am trying to make the best of a bad siuation and give them a good life.
