Mum puss Callie may have a problem with her pancreas. She's had the trots for a while not but vet James is trying a new treatment regime.

Callie won't be going back to her kittens now as she needs a good rest. The kittens are fine and staying with another fosterer. We recieved these piccies today.

Mum cat looks so tiny herself- so pretty and obviously a natural mum. Well done all!

Mark · « **Reply #34 on:** April 09, 2009, 19:57:01 PM »

I met the mum cat today

The fosterer (I forget her name) was collecting her when I was collecting Willow - she has been in for a dodgy tum and left with meds amd prokolin.

What a stunning girl Callie is. She does seem to have taken to motherhood.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #23 on:** March 12, 2009, 23:15:57 PM »

She looks so young and another lovely tortie

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #22 on:** March 12, 2009, 21:23:19 PM »

They have Caroline to thank as it was she who wouldn't give up looking.

Mum cat, Callie, has developed a slight case of the trots we are told. Sharn says she's not concerned as she looks so bright and breezy so it must just be the shock of being rescued after a week in an empty house. Callie is also stuffing food in her gob like it's going out of fashion... and why shouldn't she, bless her!

Sharn says the kittens have perked up a lot today and seem more active. We think Callie must be at last getting enough food to make enough milk now and Callie does seem a good mum as you can see.

Great picture, Sharon!

Thanks to some great volunteers. (we have a good bunch here)... no sooner said then done.. Mum is callied Callie i think. No names yet for the kittens...

Liz · « **Reply #16 on:** March 12, 2009, 13:47:11 PM »

tried the black cat thing - the hand rearing of 4 black kittens nearly had me tearing my hair out - Cougar and Puma never left and Aztec and Raven live in a big house at Gleneagles!!!!

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #15 on:** March 12, 2009, 12:57:23 PM »

You lot and your pictures!

They are now at our fosterers so I will see what I can do. But have you ever tried taking photos of tiny black kittens?

We had a rugby scrum amoung the fosterers as to who was going to care for them. Everyone wanted the first kittens to the year! In the end Sharn won before there was too much blood shed. Liz is looking after the pregnant puss but has bitten her finger nails to the bone in anticipation of labour starting.

This is that rare time that only lasts about 2 weeks were we are pleased to see the signs of spring.

Millies mum · « **Reply #14 on:** March 12, 2009, 12:39:25 PM »

i agree pictures of the kittens would be great!!! can't wait

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2009, 12:36:19 PM »

Julie all we need now is PICTURES

-

I just love happy endings - makes me go all dreamy

. though thinking of kittens I just get God dam broody

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #12 on:** March 12, 2009, 12:07:29 PM »

Thanks guys.

I think part of the problem was we were expecting kittens at least 2-3 weeks old. The housing lady had said she'd seen them in the house a week ago, so naturally we were looking for kittens capable of bouncing around and playing.

We now realise they could have only been a day or two old when she saw them, so of course they were still in a little ball sleeping a lot. A bit like looking for a lost pair of socks.

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #11 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:38:41 AM »

sad start to the story -but relieved that

1. You got the Girls
2. The kittens were found safe - shudder to think if Caroline hadn't gone back

3. Mum Settled to feed her babies.

It would be great if all stories had this happy ending

Millies mum · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:37:17 AM »

What a great outcome well done to you all,my kittens are always hiding under my pillows or duvets they know how to keep warm and safe.

Janeyk · « **Reply #9 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:42:50 AM »

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #8 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:15:28 AM »

I am glad that these are safe thanks to your hard work, fingers crossed mum can support them without too much help.

What a nightmare, but well done for not giving up, these poor little kitties now have the chance to live
