Kitten update

Lily's, April's and Sooty's kittens

Lily and her babies all went to their new homes last week, good luck all of you. April and her kittens are all reserved, neutered and ready to go! One of the kittens has already gone to it's new home.

Sooty's kittens are being vaccinated tomorrow and neutered on Thursday, so with any luck they should be going to their new homes over the weekend. Poor Sooty (pictured)  is still yet to be reserved though, She is a gentle natured, loving cat who would suit a family. We find it much harder to find homes for the mums than the kittens.

Rowan's kittens

Just look how cute Rowan's babies are! Can you believe these little ones are almost six weeks old. Soon they will be available for reservation. 

The strain of nursing has been tough for poor Rowan. She has become rather thin, so we have been making sure that she is getting enough food.

Jenny's family

Since little Twiglet as separated from mum and siblings Jenny seems more relaxed. Jenny was feeling the stress of being a mum and five kittens was just too much for her. Her four remaining kittens still in with her are gaining weight and are looking fantastic.




Tammy's and her babies

Now almost three weeks old and how proud does Tammy look and so she should be. Her babies are doing so well and growing up so fast as kittens always do. 

Kitten update

Sooty's kittens

Sooty is such a friendly girl, its very difficult to photograph her. When this shot was taken she was purring, rolling over and being very cute. So apologies for it being a bit blurry! 

All of the babies are doing great and feeding from mum well. She has two boys and two girls. The tortie is a female, black and white is a male and one of each of the tabby's.

April's babies

April has the most gorgeous three kittens. She has two boys and one girl. All are very similar and equally adorable. 

April is quite a protective mum, but also a very gentle one. She has such a lovely nature and that trait should pass on to her babies. 

Lily's family

Lily is another mum who is just so excited to see you. She just will not stay still long enough to that a good photo! 

The babies however were a little more co-operative. They are now four weeks old. They are really starting to become mobile and have been exploring their new world this week. 

Hope and her kittens

Hope's kittens are now just over nine weeks old, blimey how the time has flown by! They are all reserved and will soon be going to their new homes. All four of them are being neutered tomorrow. 

 

Two of the kittens are a little small for their age but are still healthy. The smallest ginger boy was poorly for a while. He has a low white blood cell count so he was on medication for a few days. He is now much better and gaining weight everyday.

 Hope has now been separated from them so that she can be also neutered tomorrow. This will also mean that Hope can now find herself a loving home. 

Jodie and her kittens

Jodie's kittens are now just over eight weeks old. For a week they were all poorly with very upset tummy's. This sometimes happens during weaning. 

They are all now growing up very fast and have been separated from Jodie. Jodie was due to go to the vets tomorrow to be neutered. Since being separated from her kittens she has developed mastitis. Due to this she will probably have to wait until next week to have her operation. 

She is such a lucky girl she has already been reserved and has a lovely home to go too. After all she has been through she deserves to be happy.

Kitten boom

May is upon us and so is the kitten season. Over the last week we have had a kitten boom. Here are our new arrivals.

Lily and her babies

 

Lily came into the centre with four tiny babies. The kittens are roughly around a week old. She has two blacks, one dark tortie and one tabby kitten.

This photo was taken today of the happy family.




Mary - found in a stable

Mary was brought into the centre as a stray she was found in a barn in Ashey. She came in with one tiny dark tortie kitten. We have been led to believe that Mary also had more kittens but sadly they didn't make it. Nature can be very brutal and the kittens didn't survive due to predation.

We began to notice that something wasn't right with Mary's one remaining kitten. Mary had almost given up hope as well. We unfortunately came in on Saturday morning to find that Mary's little baby had passed away in the night. We were all absolutely devastated. Mary seems to be coping well on her own. She is a wonderful cat and she deserves a happy life after all she has been through. She will be available for adoption very soon.

April's family

 

April came into the centre last week and gave birth to three adorable pale ginger kittens on Saturday. We are happy to say that April and her babies are doing really well. We captured this image of the happy family today.
