Kitten update

Tia's gang

Tia's kittens are now almost nine weeks old, where has the time gone?! The little monkeys are now independent from mum. They have all been reserved, home visits completed and soon they will be packing their bags! Next week they are having their health checks, vaccinations and are being neutered as well. 

This image of the trio playing with their toys was captured yesterday. We wish all three of them a very happy life. The tortie kitten and black are going together and the grey kitten on it's own. 

Carmen's tiny tots! 

Carmen's kittens are now two weeks old. Carmen is an excellent mum and all five of her little ones are growing so fast. We have started their socialisation program of gentle handling and introducing them to new experiences. 

How adorable they are. These precious moments will fly by in a instant, the kittens will soon be old enough to leave mum before we know it!  

Expectant mum

Gorgeous Mum to be Hope was feeling so restless yesterday. So much so that it was nearly impossible to get a photograph of her that wasn't blurry! All she wanted to do was move around and have some tummy tickles. The poor girl was quite literally ready to pop. For the last few days we wondered whether we would come in to find new babies in the morning.

Last night she went into labour and produced four gorgeous kitties. Photos will follow shortly! Well done Hope, we are happy to say mum and babies are happy and well.  

So kitten season begins! This time of year is manic at the centre. So this is why we are so desperate for people to come up and adopt. In the summer we have in excess of over 100 cats and kittens needing homes. To put this in perspective we have only 5 maternity pens, 23 homing pens and 9 admissions pens. We are have an isolation unit holding 3 pens, this is only used for sick cats. So in total we have 40 pens.
