Hello everyone! This site has been an invaluable source of information to a clueless cat parent like myself. Thank you so much. I've been "peeking out from under the sofa" since last September. It's long past time that I come out of my hiding place.
We are currently caring for five 8 month old kitties (3 boys and 2 girls) from the same litter, who I affectionately call the Little Rascals. By the end of next week, I will only have 3 or 4 but that's a topic for another forum.
The short version of how we ended up with 5 cats is similar to several stories I've read on this site. Mama Cat shows up on our front porch (we didn't know she was expecting at the time) and starts hanging out around our house. I thought she was someone's outdoor kitty but once it became apparent that she didn't have a home (and after a lot of begging from my teen), I accepted the fact that she'd chosen us to look after her (and her soon-to-be litter).
We were able to found a program that would accept Mama Cat a few months ago. Two of the kittens are enrolled in another program to help rehome them as well. Everybody is fixed and up to date on vaccines. Woohoo!
I don't know what I would've done without my coworkers (several have multi-cat houses) and the TCS community.
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi. Going back under the sofa again.
(The picture is older but it's hard to get all five of them together at the same time now.)
