Two Tiny Rescues

Hubby let him walk around on his tummy and I swear that baby climbed right up to hubby's face and head butted him!! The next thing we knew he was purring up a storm. I think this one is going to be a real sweetie!

Oh CCL, I just sat and read this whole thread over twice. This comment brought on the tears. Bless you for taking in these two little sweeties. I'm sure in time the third one will surrender. Please, you must keep posting pictures.

To the Magooster: I know your cage is being used right now but soon these two will see you as a mentor and you must teach them the ropes and make them realize how lucky they are to be rescued by your Meowmie, for you were once in their paws, scared and alone and unsure of your surroundings. Promise me, OK?

Slick,
Let me tell you about Magoo and the babies. He seems either amazed by them or by the fact that his old home is back out and he's on the other side. I'm not sure which. He smells the KMR soaked kitten chow in there and he wants it BAD! So this smart little boy sticks his paw through the cage and puts it right in the plate and lets his hairy foot soak up some KMR. He then cups his paw and pulls it out, never touching the floor, and proceeds to lick and drink it out of his little hairy cup!!! I was blown away once again by his ingenuity. I finally had to move the plate out of his reach so the kittens would have some left! What a boy!!!

OMG CCL, I'm keeling over with laughter at that story

No wonder the kitties are unsure; here's this big hairy white thing reaching in between the bars, scooping up what should be their dinner. I'm sorry but that visualization has me rolling on the floor with laughter. Oh God, I envy you.

Congrats on getting/saving these two little bitties!

I'll be crossing my fingers their vet check up goes perfect and little grey girl can get some more strength.

Soooo cute!!

What adorable babies. I am glad you have them now. And Magoo continues to crack me up.

New pictures from last night.

After another love session and a late dinner the babies were very tired. This morning the llittle buff love muffin had to ahve some love and play. He purred the whole time. He is going to be a wonderful pet for somebody. Any takers???

Our bellies are full and we are sooooo tired!


Cleaning her little paw


We are now done for the night.


We are going to have to do the dreaded ear cleaning today. The buff has very dirty ears and probably mites. Of course, as big as his ears are I wouldn't be surprised to find a 747 in there!!

Doesn't that last picture just say
"AHH! satisfied, comfortable and well fed. This is the life"

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

AWWW they have certainly ended up in the best possible place!! Thanks for giving them such a great start. Good luck trapping the other kitten plus the Mom!

LOL about the 747 comment! They are so cute.

The gray one might have cerebellar hypoplasia, and that's why her heinie's dragging.

I'm glad that they are getting friendly already!

I'm calling the little gray one Mouse because that's what she looks like to me. She is eating but such a tiny amount. She is just so weak and I think she is basically starving. I'm guessing that with her back legs she couldn't keep up with momma all the time and didn't get enough food. At least that's what I hope it is. She drinks a lot of water though and I guess that's good. I am feeding them a half jar of chicken baby food with about a tablespoon of KMR mixed in. How many times a day should I do that?
Work is rolling around soon and we will be gone all day. Will they be ok if I just leave dry for them while we are gone? Mouse really needs building up and I'm worried about her. I wish I had someone to care for them during the day. I really think she needs something offered to her every few hours but I also don't want to cause any runny poo.
Suggestions please!!

Gee...I've been so busy, I missed this big event! Congrats on the two babies. Did you use a trap to catch them, or grabbed them by hand? If you have access to a trap, put the beige one in a carrier by himself and cover the carrier, set behind the trap with a cover over the carrier, and the back part of the trap, and let him howl! Use a bit of food at the door, and more just past the trigger, then watch from a window inside. You can use the same method to catch the mom cat as well. The best bait for a mom is her own kittens. Be sure and cover the trap right away once the last kitten goes in so it calms him/her right down. The two are such cuties!

We've been out of town, and out of touch - where did these adorable creatures come from?

ADD: Ignore my question. I just came across your post about these two. If I lived closer, I would sure help you out. You're a good person.

Lisa,

What precious little kitties!! I have a hunch the orange one is a boy. Most all orange cats are male. At least that's what I've been told.

You might want to try some Nutri-Cal. They love the taste and it's loaded with vitamins and protein that will help put weight on these guys.

You did a great job there, girl! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll be able to trap the other kitten and mama. PLEASE let us know how you make out.
