Foster Family

Well right after we came home from girls camp we noticed some kittens were left alone in our back yard. We watched for the stray momma cat to come back. We decided after a day or so that we needed to step in and help these little ones out. (Those that know me know that I am not a huge animal lover.) So we asked a couple of people we trusted what to do.

Ran to Wal Mart and bought milk replacer and a bottle. The next day we ran back to Wal Mart and bought more bottles. ;) One bottle wasnt enough for 5 little ones.

Anyways a couple of weeks later here they are. Proud to say they are finally off the bottle. They started eating the nipples and Brent decided that was it. If they wanted to eat that they would figure it out.

Here are Courtney and Cara's kittens, the twins.
Austin's kitten. She is a little bit of a go getter. Always the first to eat!

Here is Cael with his kitten. As much as we try to clean her up, she is always the dirty looking one.

Here is Cason with his kitten, aka the Runt. She was so cute! We are keeping them in a play yard in the back yard. She was so tiny she could sneek out. She would always come to visit us at the door. She had the cutest little cry. You couldnt help but love her. We really got attached to this one. Sad to say the day after this photo she got caught in the rain storm we had. Brent and I tried to help her out. Warm her up and feed her by a dropper. A couple of hours later she lost the will to fight. Cason was really heart broken. But we have four other little ones to play with. They older kids have really stepped up and told Cason they would share. It is just taking a little while to get used to only counting to four. All in all it has been a good learning experience.

Dont tell any one. ;) Even Brent and I have gotten into really caring for these guys. Never thought I would be doing what it takes to take care of new kittens.
