Poor little ginger kitten

[smudgley]

Yesterday we got a phone call about a cat with kittens that were living outside,we were told the mom was very thin - so they were put as a priority & someone went out last night to try & catch them. There are 4 kittens - 2 were nowhere to be seen, one was caught & the other ran off! The mom was very friendly & easy to catch, but as the other kittens couldn't be caught it was decided to let her go to keep her babies warm. They are about 5 weeks old. I have got the baby here, he was thin & grubby & covered in flea dirt. :cry: But now after some food, a comb, a bath & a frontline, a snuggle pad & a vet bed & he's happy as Larry.:cool:

[Fran]

Aww how sad :( will you have another go at trying to catch them Smudgely?

[smudgley]

Yes - but I didn't go last night as I was working really late (trouble with some pups & had to foster 11 pups out:shock: :shock: ) some other people went

I would like to go tonight as I am worried about the little poppets, I don't know the exact location but am trying to contact the lady who does & see if I can go out there.

[Fran]

I hope you manage to get them all Smudgley...it's so cold out there this time of year :(

[bobbie3917]

hope u can find them all
poor things not the best night 2 be out side

[dinahsmum]

Oh:(
I would have him like a shot if we were a bit nearer. Don't think the little soul needs a 150 mile journey at the mo.
Hope the others turn up and can be rescued too.

You are a star Smudge! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_19_3.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824YYGB)

Poor kitties and mum:( I hope you are able to round them up soon Smudgley....they must be so cold and miserable at this time of the year...:(

[smudgley]

Good news is the other 3 kittens have been seen today - BUT mommy has moved to the neighbours garden now:roll: babies in tow.

We are going to hopefully get them soon. I have only just found out where they are & thought it best not to go now as the chances would be slim of catching them in the dark with just a torch. At least they are being fed.

My little man looks all lovely & snug now & loves his food! He is perched on top of his snuggle pad. (bless) He needs a name?

this will be the L litter.

Thanks for the offer of help Kazz - but I think we are ok this time, maybe some other time though ;)

[Kazz]

No probs and ANYTIME honestly.:D

Oh naming again, great:-D L Right off I go this ones already been named by you hasn't he? Larry
"But now after some food, a comb, a bath & a frontline, a snuggle pad & a vet bed & he's happy as Larry.:cool:"

So need 3 more names.:-D

I thought it would be good if they were the L litter as he could be called Larry - but what I meant to write is "they are the H litter:oops: "

So H it is Kazz;)

[smudgley]

Glad to hear the little one is doing okay. Hope you manage to catch the others. What wonderful work you do. I am not far from you, and although I cannot offer a permanent home to any more cats (OH would pack his bags!) I would be willing to hand rear or foster.

[smudgley]

Thanks Kim. :)

He is fine today - he has been sat on top of his snuggle pad for hours:roll: and he eats loads of food. He has got a mini-litter tray which I made from a plastic ice-cream tub that I cut down & he uses it. I think that is so cute, he potters over to his toilet - does what he needs to - covers it up:roll: & climbs back on top of his snuggle pad.:cool:

[Kim]

Ahhh bless.

[Jac]

Glad to here you got them all;)

[smudgley]

Good luck with reuniting this family Smudge. Sure it's just a matter of time.

[Naomi]

Fingers crossed you catch the rest of them Smudge

[Kay]

Well done in catching this little one. How anyone can throw them out, which is what has probably happened seen as the mom is friendly, is beyond me.

[Elfin]

Hope you catch them all soon. Hope you don't mind some more name suggestions

Harry

Hera
Hattie
