I have got Lucky & her 4 kittens who are 4 weeks old now.

I have Lilly & her 4 kittens who are 1 week old tomorrow.

Today I have had a mom with 4 kittens that are 6 weeks old. Lovely mom & beautiful kittens. Will post some pics of them now.

I am waiting for a feral mom & kittens to come in but no news on them as yet.

Thirteen+ kittens!?! Have you booked yourself into a rest-home in three months time yet, or will you just let them bring the straight-jacket? :-D
Got to spend a lovely hour in the kitten-room at my breeder's with Rover and seven others when I was visiting. They were climbing everything, getting into everything and generally having a very good time. I really enjoyed being Mt Kilimanjaro, and I could have stayed for weeks, so I can't imagine it will be easy to do anything else. Kids, housework.... *and* you will of course have Catpagers camping in your garden! :grin:
Wait a minute... Is this part of the plan to get every single Catpager their own kitten? :smt017

No time for resting or straight jackets - once these have gone there will be more coming along.
PS 4 + 4 + 4 == 12 :lol:

We've had 76 cats in this year so far :shock:

Edit to add - that's the branch I'm involved in (not just me)

Lucky's four + Lilly's four + the new mum's four + feral mum's at least two (or it wouldn't be kittens) = so, yes, got the math wrong should be fourteen+ kittens. :-P :grin:

You *sure* about the rest-home? :-)

Do you specalize in kittens and Mom's Smudgley? just seems you rarely have adults compared to kittens:? or am I wrong? do you get many older cats, in 10/15+...............just asking.

Ohh the next letter is O as some of you will know a cat with his starting with O is very special to me. If the next litter has a boy in it (fingers crossed) can one of the names be Oscar............remembering DM's idea of paying for the kitten to be named aftr a special cat in your life I will willinglly do this I can't find the post DM posted. So Smudgley I am willing to be told how much...the price of spaying Mom maybe?

Well we have a lady who co-ordinates what comes in & who has what. Some fosterers prefer only adults or only kittens or won't have ferals or won't have FIV positives or won't have entire males. :roll: But I will take whatever needs to come in, I don't mind what I have to be honest, every one of them deserves a chance & I have 4 pens & will fill them with whatever comes along.
I have had oldies in the past & had quite a lot of adults. But pregnant moms & kittens take priority to come into the branch - so that's why we seem to have more of those than anything else. Also - even though I work, I do spend a lot of time with the babies, socialising them etc. So I guess the kittens like to come here:lol:

Don't worry Kazz - the O litter already has Oscars name reserved for a boy.;) I'd thought of that a while ago. & the T litter will have a Tao (if it's ok with Jenny) Kazz - you have already given me a lovely donation so no need for another, unless of course you want to. not sure who or what the O litter will be, I am supposed to be getting a feral with 2 babies, but we can't get access to them (someone is feeding them etc) so not sure if or when they will come.

Thank you so much, I really don;t mind if there is not aboy in the litter I am sure a cat that suits the name Oscar will come round soon but hopefully later especially if it mean less cats in rescue.:D

Of course I will make a donation no problem.:)

But we will make sure that the Oscar we have in is a very special one. ;)
