There was an urgent need for someone to foster another mom and kittens coming from the same farm as Hazel. It’s not a good situation – new farm owner who was threatening to shoot all the cats. So 9 Lives Rescue got permission to go in and remove as many as they could.
So we said we’d take one more mom and babies. The all-black mom is called Black Mamba, and she has two black kittens, two black with white paws and markings, and one calico. They’re set up in a “pop-up” in our daughter’s old room. Mom’s pretty thin, and the babies are a pretty scrawny lot, but they’ve landed in a better place now. Here’s a quick snapshot:
Three is going to be a lot, but at least these are already born! They were born on May 3, so they’re already five weeks old. I believe it, because they are walking well – strong on their legs – but they’re awfully little for 5 weeks.
