Where I work there is a shop on the other side of our yard..where they work on the 18 wheelrer car haulers.

I personally don't go over there often, as I have no real reason too. But today I got a call so I took a trip down there.

What I found were 5 wet, dirty, cold, and hungry kittens. They appear to be about 5 or so weeks old...they still can't eat well or poop well on their own (so you have to help out).

What evidently happened is this momma cat started hangin around, the truckers fed her, she had kittens in the shop, the shop floods from time to time, the mother cat didn't move them so the truckers did, now mom wants nothing to do with them..plus she's wild and hisses at us...so forget her cranky butt I said..and we scooped them up and brought them down to the office. The kittens aren't wild a bit..they are very affectionate actually...already purring. :wub:

Pardon the "bedding" as that's all we could come up with today lol..we aren't set-up to house kittens :lol:.

We went down to the local supermarket and got some kitten chow and mixed it with soem water diluted goat milk til we can get some kittenmilk from the pet store. Poor things were so hungry and thirsty they didn't care..they gobbled it right up. We had some syringes and fed them some milk too.

We all have heaters in our offices (it stays so freakin cold in here you got to have one or risk turning into a popsicle :crazy: ), so we put them in a box and turned the heater on to warm the room up for them.

I'm glad to say all are doing fine and we are starting to look for homes for when they are ready to be placed.

There are 3 girls and 2 boys...if anyone is interested that lives around here let me know :D. I think the funky colored one is already gone though.

SO here they are..I know you guys wanna see em' lol.

Melting from the cuteness!!!!!

Good thing I dont' live anywhere near you or that little gray one would be sneaking home with me.......... ;)
 
aww, they are so cute especially with the blue eyes.
 
Ooohhh, I'm melting too! Pic #5 is just the cutest.
SRC, I thank God that there are people in the world like you! :wub:

lol you know, all kittens have blue eyes at first ;) *teehehe*

I know..aren't they just edible!!!

I want to keep them ALL..but I know I can't lol...seeing how I just rehomed 2 of my cats kittens and all.

Those in the first few pictures are just freakin adorable..I think they look like little lions in the face...with the close set eyes and all. :wub:

But yeah, I know alot of people would have just let them be and let the momma "take care" of them :rolleyes: . But yeah that's not me lol...I always gotta stick my nose in and take control of the situation :lol:.

Honestly I think the momma is just young and really has no clue what she's doing. I'd try to catch her..but she's mean and wild..probably never had a person handle her at all and I don't really feel like getting bit or scratched...she's very pretty though...she's a calico.

There are:
one grey (male).
one marble tabby with white feet (female)
one tortie (female, of course)
one striped tabby (some white on her..yeah female lol)
one funky, tan, cream, something er other colored lol (male)

I want that funky colored one so BAD I can't stand IT :X :S :sad: ..I'm trying to talk my cousin into taking him instead of the grey one..so I can still see it down at my nannie's lol. :shifty: :whistle:

(he owes me for eating my last 3 pieces of choclate cake :grr: ..if he gets it the cats name will be cake lmao..just to remind him not to eat my cake AGAIN *grr*)
 
where abouts do you live (sorry still kind of new here :) )

For ages I thought it was Birming in the UK - I just didn't see the AL bit.

But those kitty pics are just oodles of joy, fluff and cuteness :wub:
 
:lol: You know...one time I found this bus ticket laying on the street. It said Birmingham..but it wasn't from around here lol.

Yes I live in Birmingham, AL. If you live close and want one..I'd meet you within a reasonable distance though...if you promised to get it altered. :nod:
 
They are adorable! I use to be a foster mom for a local pet shelter and we used diluted goat milk exclusively until they could eat solids/canned. Good job on rescuing them. :)
 
These kittens look great SRC! Their eyes are soooo clear. Already have too many pets. :(
 
Well I'm sad to report 2 of the 5 babies died. 1 actually fell off the pet carrier (the girl was keeping them in the bathtub while she was at work..so they didn't scatter throughout her house) and it climbed up on the pet carrier, fell off, and got hung :(.
One of her 3 kids found it when they came home from school :/. The other one that died...still haven't figured it out yet....she said she found it convulsing and foaming at the mouth...her sister works for a vet so she had her come over and Put it down so it didn't suffer.

2 were adopted and one...well one is sitting here on my desk at work :lol:. The one I liked..the "odd" colored one lol...we named him Monkey, well cas he acts like a little brown monkey lol....he is SO silly.
has completely DESTRYOED my desk lol...it's usually all in order..not anymore..he's pulled papers out of places I didn't even know there were papers lol..binder clips, hair clips, pens, rubber bands, ect..you name it..all over the place :lol:.

"paperwork you say, hmmm..lemme see"
