We found the rest of the kittens today in the woodpile! Aggh....
Going
to be pretty busy watching these guys until they get new homes. At
least three are eating on their own, and can be adopted out. Bucky must
be the runt since he's smaller than the others. The odd one looks like
he's a Siamese mix. (i wish i could keep that one too)
The three
alone i kept separate until i gave them treatments for their eyes (had
eye infection like Bucky had) Luckily i had some medicine left. I gave
them all a bath also. The vet said i could if i used Dawn dish soap or
baby shampoo. Found some fleas, and they're too young to use any flea
treatment. Hope i got them all. Needless to say, i have a few scratches
on my hands. The one with Bucky is the biggest. The one in the middle of
the other picture is solid black, and looks to have a deformed or
previously broken tail. It has a bend in it.
The momma is a feral
cat that's been hanging around (now i know why) We felt bad and fed her
two cans of cat food. The vet gave me a number of a place to call that
fixes cats, then releases them back to where they came from. (catch
& release) They make a little notch in the ear so they know it has
been fixed. They provide this as a free service. These kind are too wild
to tame. Such a shame, but at least i can do the best i can for her
kittens.
Well i hope they let me sleep tonight. Wish me luck :)
