Title: 3 kittens need help, liverpool *HOMED*
Post by: lau200 on June 25, 2011, 09:42:59 AM

3 kittens in liverpool need help. went to see them last night, look to be about 5weeks. 1 is not drinking or cleaning it's self. to small for me to even tell what sex they are. mum is a stray and thinking they were helping, a friend took the kittens in and left mum were she was. kittens are so scared, they may be semi-feral, they are hissing and scratching. friend is trying to look after them but has no idea what to do with them. she says she'll get mum today but i am worried what mum will do as her kittens have been handled by strangers. if any rescue is unable to help please let me know. i can take them in the short-term but partner is complaining. i am willing to pay for food etc. sadly we have too many cats as it is OH keeps saying. i maybe able to care for them with rescue's backing for rehoming.

i offered the kittens milk replacement last night and one was drinking alot! once i had trapped them and put them in a carry case they seemed to settle abit more. they were running loose in the house before hiding and getting stuck behind the back of a bookcasde where i got them from. watched the drinker clean himself before going to sleep in the carry case- am about one though. can anyone help? i can do transport too.

thanks

Poor little things and thanks to your friend for taking them in, hope she gets mum today. Can't offer any help I'm afraid as I am in the same situation with OH....no more...we have too many cats (we only have 5 and the dog) but I so wish I could help more. I'm hoping mum will be ok because the kittens aren't tiny newborns. Keep us updated hun x

I'm in Birkdale, Happybunny.  I've just adopted Tara from the RSPCA yesterday, a very timid little thing, but I'd have offered to foster them anyway, if you hadn't replied first.  :)

these are being fostered but will require new homes. this is still quite urgent as foster is going on holiday in 3 weeks

Of the remaining two, which is least aggressive?
Am considering it, however need to think about practicalities - ie how would Davey and Tinks settle with it and how would kitten react to those two?
