Great news the kittens are alive and well!

Harry will have healed by now and removed any external stitches herself.

The kitten looks like its tail got caught in something or chewed on, but it doesn't look like a health problem.

How many kittens are there? Are you feeding them?

I put some water on dry food to make it soft then Harry ate all of it instead of her food. There are 3 kittens. 2 gray and one black. Peewees will take the gray kittens, but can't take black. I'm thinking about maybe keeping the black kitten for Harry to keep outside with her. I feel bad taking all of her kids away. Should I not feel bad and try to find a home for the black kitten?

I think the two kittens that PeeWee's will take should go. They will have a much better future.

I think keeping the black kitten is fine, but he or she will need to be spayed/ neutered in the near future. I assume they will be yard and/or porch cats, and that you will continue to feed them daily. Mama and the black kitten will be company for one another.

I'm glad this is all beginning to resolve so nicely!

Do you think the black kitten is a boy or girl?

Hmm. I think male, but not 100% sure. Can you catch it to get it fixed soon?

How early can you get them fixed?

Eight weeks or two pounds. What is your estimate of their age? Eight weeks is about the earliest to re-home the other kittens as well. They need to be with mom at least that long.

I'm guessing 4 weeks old. Peewees will only take them if they are 6 to 7 weeks. When I called at 7.5 weeks for Harry's moms kittens, they told me no the kittens were too old.

Well, I guess you'll need to wait a bit. Do they let you pet them?
