Our Cumbria foster team took in two litters of kittens in May whose mothers had been intentionally killed by dogs.
One litter were just old enough to manage solids and the other were only around 10 days old - luckily we had a nursing queen in our care and she took these abandoned little ones on with her own kitten.
The older litter will be ready for adoption around 15th July following their 1st vaccination and are as follows:
Nymph (in photo above) - female black and white (mostly white), very girly, affectionate and playful
Earwig - male black with white "trimmings", sweet and cuddly
Weevil - male, almost identical to his "twin" above, cheeky and loving
The younger litter will be ready for adoption around 29th July following their 1st vaccination and are as follows:
Tansy - female grey tortie, very confident and playful, beautifully marked
Sage - female black and white with black "smudge" on her nose, affectionate
Teasel - male black with white "trimmings", cheeky and cuddly
Laurel - female black and white, the litter"s runt, very sweet and affectionate

Bitsy Mittens was born in her Blue Cross foster home on 16th May. Her mum only had one kitten but was soon called upon to help with a litter of four more who whose mother was killed by dogs - so Bitsy found herself with a brother and sisters!
Bitsy is a beautiful kitten, black with white "trimmings" and the most lovely of faces. She is confident and playful and very eager to have cuddles and tummy rubs. She loves her foster siblings and would love to take one with her to a new home....
Bitsy will be available to adopt around the 22nd of July following her first vaccination when she will be 9wks old.

Crosby is a handsome male kitten of around 8wks old. He is black with white "trimmings" and a very endearing face and small ears! He is quiet, playful and a purrs when he gets his cuddles.
Crosby was found abandoned stray in the grounds of a local nursery. He is such a friendly and confident boy despite a rough start to life - he came to us covered in lice eggs, ticks and with worms too!
He enjoys the company of the other kittens but would adapt to being the only mog if you have the time and love to give him.
Crosby will be available to adopt around the 5th of July following his first vaccination when he will be 9wks old.
