These four adorable kittens were rescued from the warehouse just east of downtown where our feral cat team has been working to stabilize a colony that we recently discovered. Their feral momma cat was trapped, spayed, and returned to the colony, and these kittens were taken into foster care. When we rescued them, they needed to be taught how to eat and drink, as they had never done anything but nurse.
Their transitional foster mom, Carol, provided this report:
"They're doing very, very well - eating and drinking very well, pooping and peeing equally well, and developing hourly it seems! In the little over 24 hours I've had them, they have already grown leaps and bounds in their confidence and play.
Here are some photos, which I hope you understand are rather hard to get!
Oreo is the most timid, by far. The rest are fine, calm, and becoming more friendly and more affectionate all the time. Of course one, Leopard, stands out as the boldest.
They're very healthy, and I think were likely taken at just the right time - big enough that being separated from mom has not affected their growth negatively at all, but small enough that their temperaments are entirely mouldable. "

Many thanks to Carol, who worked hard to ensure that these kittens were healthy and eating on their own before they went to their longer term foster home with Amanda.
