a stray cat my neighbors and I feed just had kittens on our neighbors back porch! So cute..
They were three days old and we picked them up (I hear the earlier you handle them the more they trust humans. Is that true?) The mother seemed a little nervous and hissed once, but I think she understood that we weren't going to hurt them.
One little kitten appears to have a hairlip! I wonder if this could be from inbreeding because we think this colony of strays has been inbreeding for several generations.
Would the hairlip affect her health or ability to eat?
I plan to take the kittens into the shelter once they're weaned. I hope it won't affect her chances of adoption. Poor baby.
