WTH Do I Do With These Little Fellas?

I wanna be a SMIB
The kittens look very healthy. Mom appears to be doing a good job. You can try to start them on kitty food at about 5- 5 1/2 weeks. Don't you also have a nursing dog? Maybe she can help. Good luck, I once had 4 brand new kittens I had to hand feed. Trust me, you DO NOT want to do that. And it costs a small fortune in kitten milk which if needed can be bought at McKays. The pet store is more expensive.

Dang I got all that bad karma just for that? I was only jokin.....and at least sign your karma.
It wasn't me, but :yikes: at the thought.

I figured I'd just drive 'em up to Suitland Parkway and watch for a particular couple carpooling home and see if I can swindle them into looking in the box. :whistle:


Just kidding of course ... I can't abondon these kittens to the wild. They're too cute and innocent and deserve a chance. It's not their fault their momma's owner is a butthead and didn't get her fixed. :lol:

when they get old enough, just go to a well populated neighborhood with alot of kids runnin around and start handin em out, let their parents deal with em!
Kidding again!

CC, you're a good person for taking the feline family into your home and helping them out.

If you find that you are unable to care for them, however, I would strongly recommend contacting SMAWL, PAWS, ARF, or Friends of Felines before taking them to the animal shelter (where they are almost certain to get a death sentence...especially this time of year).

8 weeks is the "legal" amount of time before you can separate a kitten or puppy from its mother. Most rescue groups or shelters will probably not be allowed to take the kittens without the mother cat before then.

Also, you won't be able to have momma-cat spayed while she's still nursing the kittens; but if you want to get it done on the cheap, you should call the Well Pet Clinic (in Lexington Park) and set up an appointment for a few weeks from now.

I've just taken in my seventh stray; elsewise I'd offer to to relieve you of the burden...but my husband is starting to compare me with the crazy cat-hoarding lady they just found in Virginia. :ohwell:



Good luck with everything.

Thanks much for the info. I live in N.C. now though so I have to contact some of the local places here. Depending on how they do in the house, I might just try to hang on to them a little while and put a picture and sign up at the vet's office.

I just KNOW that they have to be gone before DQ gets home August 6 because if not, she will NEVER let them leave. :ohwell:

Yep, I'd say 4 weeks is about right..even a tad older maybe but not more than 5 weeks. Just follow the advice I gave you, they'll be fine. Momma is a pretty kitty.

please fed ex the little gray one, he needs me


:nono: The kitty needs me. :biggrin: You already have plenty and I only have one. :mad::bawl:


BTW CC, I am pretty sure I could swing another kitty. :getdown:

If you opt for one of the cream/white ones, we could just say somene called and it's Thomas' long-lost daughter, and it's either "take her in" or pay kitty support. :really:

If ya'll are serious about wanting a kitten, PM me. I want them to go to good homes, and I'll be coming through the area in a couple weeks and could meet up. :peace:

They're adorable, and I picked up a new battery charger since I couldn't find my other one so I can take some more pics if ya want.

And as an update on their status, they're all doing fine. I watched them a bit this afternoon and was playing with them and they're pretty friendly so far as I can tell, but a little scared (hell, I would be too if some huge person was cowering over me :lol:). They're also playful with eachother which is fun to watch. :biggrin:

I would LOVE to have one - Boy Kitty definitely needs a playmate - but C says two is enough. Of course, if you left him on our front porch...:whistle:

"Two is enough." :scoff: :rolleyes:
