I am surprised that these little ones are still alive. They are around five weeks old and were found inside an abandoned van (by the tow truck driver) The van had been abandoned at least 5 days! According to Terralyn, the woman who scooped them out of the van, there was no food or water in sight. I know that I am glad that this June has been unseasonably cold- they could survive the cold by snuggling with each other, but they wouldn’t have survived the heat.

They are so tiny, so skinny and so hungry. It is hard to resist the urge of giving them a huge plate of food- instead, I feed them every four hours small amounts. I have treated them for fleas and worms and they are hissy and spitty with me- but not ferals- just scared and unsocialized.

There are also three new kittens in the bedroom, they are Craigslist kitties. I read the ad and sensed that they needed another place to grow until they are old enough for adoption. There is a black girl, a tuxedo boy and a gray female.

Of course the resident kitties are in a state right now. I swear, Charlie gave me a look a minute ago that said; ” Six new kittens! Mom…Really!” If all goes well under the initial 72 hour watch, most of them will be going to Dee’s home where she will be able to love and nurture them as they need to be. Mike just smiles and says he knows, I can’t stop rescuing. It’s not in my blood to do so!

Tilt, Franklin and Stash now top out at over 2 pounds. They are happy kitties with litter pan issues, and the older three kitties are in with them. They are all snuggled into a pile right now getting along just fine. The van kitties are upstairs as they have some health issues right now and I want to be sure they are healthy before putting them in with the group.

Guess I better quit trying to stop rescuing huh? LOL
