My new foster cats

[alexgirl73]

Just thought you may be interestde in seeing my new foster mum and kittens. Tinkerbell and her 6 babies, however as she does not look like a Tinkerbell in the slightest, she is known as Belle while she is with me:lol: . The kittens are 4 and a half weeks old, not sure of all of their sexes yet so no names as yet:roll: . Some of them have sticky eyes so being treated for that, but apart from that all healthy and playful.

And no, that is not my new carpet lol:lol: . To save my carpet I went to the local poundshop and bought a few large wipe clean tablecloths which make great floor coverings, if a little bright:lol:

White babies, too cute for words.
Their little eyes look sore. :(
& I do like your new carpet. We know it is your carpet really! :lol:

[alexgirl73]

Robert is clamouring for me to keep one of the white babies, not a chance lol!! Their eyes are a little sore but just started on the fucithalmic eye drops today so hopefully there will be a big improvement over the next few days.

They are so cute and their mum looks really beautiful a real Belle.

[Mags]

Mum really is a Belle .............. and those two little snowballs are soooo cute!:D

[Elaine]

Aww bless 'em. Lovely piccies Alex, keep us posted as to how the little ones get on. Mum is a stunner xxx

[Kazz]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww they are gorgeous. Poorly eyes but sure they will be better soon. I adore your carpet.;)

[dandysmom]

Belle is just gorgeous....and the little white ones are adorable! Clever idea about the tablecloths!

[alexgirl73]

Thank you all! I cant get over how small these ones are compared to my last lot, but I suppose its because there are more of them. I finished worming them today too, what a fun job that was lol!! I will take some more pics once their eyes have cleared up.

[smudgley]

Snowballs.. :-D Love it!

[borderdawn]

Rescues then Alex? Im pleased you have them but its typical of the situation isnt it. I hope their eyes get better too.

[alexgirl73]

Yep Dawn, this is my second lot! I love having them but at the same time wish I dind't if you know what I mean lol! It's very typical but at least they will all be neutered so no more kittens from these ones!

[Jac]

Love the snowballs. Poor babies, sore eye's are horrid.

[Jane]

Aww they're so gorgeous :D

bit off topic but when one of my hammys had conjunctivitus he has fucithalmic eye drops lol

[alexgirl73]

I think they're used for a lot of small animals, including rats and hamsters, the stuff usually works very quickly!

[yola]

Fucithalmic are great drops! have sorted Fifi's eyes on numerous occasions!

Alex, so please this little family has a safe haven with you. The babies are darlings and I'm sure they'll find new homes very soon.

Is Mum a feral or a pet?

[babycakes]

Absoloutely gorgeous Belle is beautiful and the kits are too cute for words

[smudgley]

I love fucithalmic too.

She looks really chilled to me Yola, I bet she's a friendly girl.

Her story is as follows. She belonged to a lad who went to stay with his girlfriend and her family, they split up and he took off leaving the cat behind. They had never had a cat before so had no idea she was pregnant. A couple of weeks after he left she had 7 kittens (one died) and they phoned us. So came to us when they were 2 days old. The family she came from are hoping that they may be able to take Belle back.

[alexgirl73]

And she is very chilled Yola and Smudgley lol. As soon as you enter the room she's over looking for a rub!!

[Moli]

What a beautiful family....Looking forward to seeing these little beautys grow... Belle is gorgeous...

[dandysmom]

Awww, I hope they do take Belle back, she's lovely!

[Erin]

Awww they are gorgeous Alex all of them,you will have post loads of piccies of these babies growing up ;)

[dinahsmum]

What a nice family. Hope there are happy endings for them all.

[alexgirl73]

Sexed the kittens today and I think I got it right lol, time will tell. As far as I could see there are 5 boys and 1 girl and have been named as follows ;

White girl - Icicle (oh and the kids picked the names lol)
White boy - Iggy (short for Igloo!!!)

Tabby boys - Ian, Isaac, Ivor and Idge!!!

Also good news on the eye front, none of their eyes have stuck shut today so the eye drops are definitely working.

[Elaine]

Pleased their eyes are clearing up, some of those names are cool:D

[dinahsmum]

Alex - have you/anybody checked the hearing of the white kittens? If they are deaf (and there is a link between white coat/blue eyes and deafness, though it doesn't always follow) it would be good to know sooner rather than later.

[smudgley]

Pleased their eyes are clearing up, some of those names are cool:D


Did you mean Icicle & Igloo are cool?.......{groan}

[Jac]

Forgot to say that I love your new carpet. Very colorful:cool: .
How are they all getting on now?

[alexgirl73]

I han't thought of checking their hearing DM but I will try some simple tests later to see if they respond to noise. Thanks for that.

Very bad Smudgley lol.
And thank you Jac, the carpet is growing on me lol, they are all doing really well now, becoming very playful.

[borderdawn]

I had a deaf white Cat for 15yrs, he had green eyes though.

[Elaine]

Did you mean Icicle & Igloo are cool?.......{groan}

Very poor humour, I know but one simply couldnt resist:-D

[tinkladyv]

Oh they are all wonderful...want them all :-)
