Lois, you totally rock! You have completely changed the lives of these cats. Those black and white kitties are called tuxedo kitties, and are quite popular. I hope you can find them homes.

I hope your kitty can wait until the spay appt! It is a shame to be overrun with kittens! You have done a wonderful thing to save this little family.
Yay for you!

I Love them all and they are so sweet, and so is mommy cat she has adjusted like I can't beleive, she will be going to the vet on monday morning, for spaying, testing, shots, wormed
I hope the pictures are in the right spot so everyone can see how beautiful they are,,, Thanks much

What adoreable babies! I am so glad to hear Mommy has adjusted so well. I took in a solid black cat several years ago and she had babies under my daughter's bed. Your little B/W kitten reminds me of Midnight's baby! Good luck with Mommy next week and keep us updated, OK? Oh yea, more pictures too, please!

Well tomorrow Mommy is going to the vet to get spayed and everything else she needs, the babies have been so good they have adjusted so well, and Mom has been really very sweet and behaving nicely, I just hope everything is ok for her, she hasen't cried about being taken away from the babies and they haven't either, hopefully I'll have those other pictures in a few days of the rest of the babies

Update, Mommy is at the vet getting all her stuff done
I am so glad

Now I am working on actors and others for animals to see if they will help with the babies for spaying and nuetering the rest I will have to suck up, shots, testing, worming and such. I just think there's a better chance to get them homes if they are all fixed up

Anyway I felt bad for mommy last night and this morning, she couldn't figure out why I put her in that carrier, I think she's mad at me now
but I will make it up to her this evening

You are doing such a wonderful thing for mom by having her spayed. And I think it is wonderful that you are reaching out to have the kittens fixed before they go into homes. Our organization spays/neuters all kittens and cats before they go into homes. The adoptors really like that they do not have to have it done themselves.

Don't feel sorry for her...she is better off not having another litter and now she won't be bothered by all those stray males since she won't go into heat anymore.

Thanks without all the Amazing help I got from this forum and all the support I don't know if I could have done it
And yes I have 3 rolls to get developed and they are doll babies, I have never had kittens, it's going to be tough to see them go, I may keep Mommy cat, she has turned out to be a very clingy kitty, I take because she was so used to me, and she has turmed out to be very sweet also.
I will probably get a call tomorrow from Actors and Friends of Animals then I can start taking the babies to get them taken care ofI think alot of people missed this part of the thread with the photos, because I ran over at the mouth so much lol. I want everyone to see them lol
Thanks again

Well Mommy seems to be doing better today after the vet ordeal, she's eating and relaxing and just wants some loving, she does look pretty thin though, so I have been giving her extra food.
I think I will be getting some of the film done today of the babies, if I muster up the enegry.

I have been away for the weekend (the farm in France is now legally mine!) so I have missed the last few posts. I just love the little grey and white - absolutely adorable! I am sure you will have no problem finding them good homes. Congratulations again on getting them all.

Well, it's been a while since I've visited this forum! I've missed it! Half Pint, I just read the threads to your story, and I just wanted to tell you CONGRATULATIONS on your success with that very lucky mamma!


I know you've been through some gut wrenching worries and trials, but now you can look at those sweeties and know that they are safe and loved. Tell that husband of yours that he's a class act for helping you out and supporting your choices, also!

I wish you the best with finding good homes for the kiddos! You've done a very good thing here, and sacrificed much for those babies. They will give you lots of love in return. Hurray! Good news on a Tuesday night is always a good thing!

Heather.

Thank You Heather
Yep it's been a long haul, but no matter how bad a day you may be having I can come home andhug someone that's furry and funny and so dependant and still have something to be Happy about, almost a year sence this began hard work, hurt feelings brokenhearted alot of times, guilt and the fear of wondering if I even realized what I had commited myself to, but like I said we landed safely, were all ok now,
Thanks again

I'm so glad momma made it to her spay! I know it's hard to hear she was pregnant, and I can understand your mixed feelings. Thankfully you didn't know beforehand so you wouldn't have time to consider letting her have the litter. You did do the right thing!


Well, your ordeal is over, mine's still in progress...we located one of the two momma/baby combos. Only one of the babies has been trapped, and he apparently screamed so loudly that he scared all the others off...they were all like, "See Ya!"
The woman who let us know about them (and has been feeding them since they showed up in her garage) has fallen in love with the momma, so when we get her, this woman plans to spay her & keep her!
Anyway, the point of this
is that the little boy I have now looks just like your little gray/white one...so cute! My feral boy, Beau, has had the patience of a saint with this little loudmouth! Oh, and he got the "all clear" from the vet (after a much needed deworming!)! So Lois, I'm grabbing an oar, 'cause we're in the same boat!

Kelly the best of luck on the trapping, have you ever tried a drop trap, they are not as noisey at all, of course you would have to make it, if you were real close I'd lend you mine lol, ny hubby made it, that's how I got all these babies... I sent a few more pics
