Four tiny new arrivals
This morning the staff here at the adoption centre came in to find that Molly had given birth overnight to four very tiny, cute babies. Proud mum Molly successfully gave birth to two dark tortoiseshells, one tortoiseshell and white and one ginger kitten. Here is a lovely photo taken earlier of the happy family.
When the kittens are nine weeks old and have had the all clear from he vet they will be ready for re-homing. For now they will stay with mum and we will see them grow up very fast within the next few weeks. We will be spending lots of time with mum to keep her happy and when the kittens reach two weeks old we will start to socialise them. Kittens learn most of their life skills between the age of two to ten weeks. If a kitten misses this crucial period of socialisation it will not be accustomed to being handled and could become aggressive or nervous. Socialising the kittens here at the adoption centre is fundamentally important because kittens can go to homes quicker.
