Kittens!!!

Even though the weather is getting cooler, we're still getting lots of kittens in. If this year will be anything like last year, we'll have them all winter long. We just got in a group of 5 fluffy kittens yesterday. I have one litter of four (5 weeks old) - two grey boys, 1 tabby boy and a long hair tortie. CATsNAP took in a tiny 4-week old grey tabby girl yesterday and we've decided to put her in with this group as she was very lonely.

I recruited some volunteer help to wash the kittens (I think she enjoyed the bathing process more than they did). These kittens were filthy, particularly the tabby girl. It took about an hour and a half to bathe all 5 kittens.

We have 2 names so far for the kittens (I'm taking suggestions!) The tabby boy is Arthur. His tortie sister, who you will meet tomorrow, is Belle.

This is the 4-week old girl. She was found outside and was covered in poop, mud and canned cat food. You can't even imagine how bad she smelled...

A lot of the kittens we take in are either feral and angry or completely terrified. This group is completely different. They are playful, social and all-around awesome. After they were dried and ate dinner, they romped around their foster room and didn't stop playing until bedtime.
