Kitten rescue

Connie and kittens rescued from the rafters! 

On Thursday we had a call from Stoneham Construction in Havenstreet. They had come across a young mother and six tiny kittens, the mum had given birth in a secluded spot in the roof! The mum was very nervous, so staff members Dave and Emily took along a humane trap in the hope of catching her.

 

Later on that afternoon we received a call to say that mum had been caught, now the tricky part of rescuing the kittens. As you can see from these photos, it was not an easy task, thank goodness Emily is so small! She managed to squeeze in and rescue all six tiny babies. 

We are very happy to say that mum who is now called Connie and her kittens are safe and well at the centre. Connie is very protective over her babies, it must have been quite an ordeal for her hearing her kittens cry whilst they were being rescued. She has now forgiven us, but she is still a little apprehensive and does like to hiss. But once she has gotten over that she enjoys lots of fuss.

Here are some images that we captured of them yesterday. Connie just wouldn't keep still! She has four black kittens and two black and whites. We think they are around five days old.

We will keep you updated on how this remarkable little family are doing.
