Title: Bonnie and her kittens have now all found their forever homes
Post by: ChrisB on August 23, 2011, 22:17:28 PM
Here is beautiful Bonnie - only 9 months old at most, found as a stray in the garden of one of our CP volunteers.   She is a gorgeous little girl and so kittenish - photos aren't great as she doesn't keep still long enough.  Vet thinks she has around two weeks before giving birth.   It's my first experience of a pregnant cat so am excited but quite nervous at the moment !    Will be on Purrs for lots of advice  :scared:

Bless  :Luv2: :Luv2: Yes, so sad she's having kittens when she's only a kitten herself  :( We've had 2 10 month olds handed in (sisters) who gave birth within hours of each other - 7 kittens in total that we now have to find homes for, as well as the young mums of course.  >:( - thats on top of the 60+ cats and kittens we already have needing new homes  :(

Still anxiously awaiting Bonnie's kittens !   She has been working hard on her 'nest' and has built a sort of tent with the paper and re-arranged all the bedding layers into a huge heap so hopefully not too much longer to wait.

False alarm - I think it was wind or indigestion.   I settled down for the night, she did a smelly poo, coughed a couple of times like she was going to be sick but wasn't, and then immediately started chasing a moth !  :innocent:   I stayed anyway but she is fine this morning.

Bonnie gave birth to four gorgeous kittens last night.   All are doing well and she is a very happy and proud Mum.   Two black and two black and white.   Will post photos soon.

Long overdue photo - kittens are four weeks now and doing really well.   We have Rocky, Sooty, Scamp and Petra (in memory of our dear Peter).    I'm fairly sure Rocky is a boy but bit uncertain about the others !  Keeping us busy but lots of fun and just getting started on proper food.   Bonnie is a great Mum.

I dreamed of taking Rocky and renaming him Rocket Ronnie, after my Dad, Ron, whose birthday was also 4th September.
Then I had a reality check, remembered I already have seven, none of whom would welcome a newbie right now.  :doh:

Hope you find the best possible home for these beautiful babies. Bonnie is wonderful too.  :Luv2:

Sooty went to her nice new home on Saturday and Bonnie and Rocky are going together to a lovely family next weekend.   Bonnie was spayed today and is fine.    Our branch had a homing show on Saturday and I attached a photo of Rocky to Bonnie's pen, hoping they could stay together.   The family walked in, she went straight to them and the man said "she's just beautiful, it's a done deal" - I insisted they walked round and saw all the other cats first but there was never any doubt.
