Today we welcomed our new foster kitties, mama Sylvie and her three kittens. They’re only three days old – so teeny! One is a “mini-me” with similar markings to Mama; the other two are solid black.
Sylvie is very young herself, very likely less than a year old. She’s super friendly, and very relaxed in spite of all the excitement she had today! She and the kittens have their own room, and she settled right in.
She seems to love being a mom. She is nursing them well, and purrs when she’s with them. She’s quite new at this, but getting the hang of it pretty well – mostly. She did flop over on them when I rubbed her head. They started squeaking, though, and she sat up and looked at them. “Oh, I guess you’re not supposed to do that. Hunh.”
Mama and babies will be available for adoption eventually, but it will be at least three months. Stay tuned as the babies grow and learn about the world!
