View Full Version : New Rescue Kitten...
My son has a rescue kitten, it was found not far from where we live, and they phoned the CP and they in turn asked Rob if he would foster it till I came home on Thursday, they have named it Marmaduke, its seemingly a tabby....So I have a kitten to go home to now...:)

Oh how nice, Moli! But I'll always associate that name with a cartoon Great Dane strip that used to run here.
They are calling him Duke...He is tiny and very thin...

Awww, you'll soon fatten him up! Like Duke much better.
Another lucky kitten.

Let's hope you're fit enough to look after it when you get back Moli ;)
Probably just what I need Mags, get myself mobile again, been sitting about too much...

Thats the worse thing Pat and your suffering now arn't you :(
What a lucky kitten. Look forwards already to hearing about Duke and seeing lots of pictures :)
I am suffering, but thunk a lot of it is because as mum has hurt her foot, we are staying in, so I am not getting any exercise, I do try to go for a walk at least once a day....
Now Moli remember Marcus and Oliver......

How could I ever forget those two cuties...;)
It does mean I will not be getting the other 4 now though...
I mean they were small and look ho they went on a little TLC works wonders.

Thank goodness they were found. Outside in this weather they would not last long. And they've landed on their feet being with you.
There is a 3rd one they have not managed to catch yet....fingers crossed he manages to get it too...Just hope there are no more...

Do hope it is caught. Dumped? or is there a mum about?

Do you ever use live traps for the adults?
My local CP gave me a loan of one many moons ago to catch the two feral kittens (shadow and munchkin) that took up residence in our coal shed.
It worked quite well although I did catch a crow the first time I set it.

They do have traps, maybe get one when I go back, if that is mum cat she wil need to be spayed...

That was why I wanted to catch the two feral girls that adopted us. We also looked after their dad - he didn't need a trap, think he was an ex domestic, lost or dumped.
They are quite easy to work. If she's living out and been feeding babies she'll be hungry.
Best of luck.
The kittens are seemingly very friendly, would be nice to catch Mum get her spayed and rehomed.......

Good luck with that cat and kittens Moli.
We have 2 dark Tabbys, one girl and one boy, the litle girl has cat flu, had her up the vets and she is now on AB's..It looks like someone has dumped them as they are so people friendly,,, underweight, but eating well.....
There is another one living under a shed, but so far my son has not managed to catch him, getting a trap and going to try and get him that way...

Poor baby. Will he be heavy enough to set the trap off? I hope mum comes back before she gets preggers again.

We are going to crase the pole, and hopfully will catch him, probably end up cathing everyones elses cats!:roll::lol:
Now there are 3, caught the other one today, luckily without a trap, its bigger than the other two, but the image of them, he is very frightened, and has so far eaten a dish of food and is now sleeping in Robs wardrobe with the door open, so getting used to the sights and sounds, he will soon come round..

Poor frightened baby, is mum still hanging round?

That is so good that the three of them have been caught. Do hope Mum is found too. Are you going to try and set the trap for her?
We are not sure who mum is, no one has seen an adult who could be mum, have seen what we think is dad though.

I'm so happy you got the third kit! If they were dumped then maybe mum's not around .... they've been weaned, haven't they?
Definitely been weaned, about 6 weeks but all skin and bone at the mo.....

They are all eating and have been wormed etc, they are all lively now they have discovered toys:)the scared one is joining the others till he sees one of us then hides, but he will come round....
Update on kittens......
Daisy, my son has named them as he was the one who caught them.....Daisy, the little girl with the flu is much better, she is bombing up and down the hall playing, has been since 8am....full of life....Duke was snuggled into me till I opened my eyes, then thought food, no sign of no name(we do not know if its a boy or a girl yet) but as soon as I put food down he/she appeared, ate the lot while keeping an eye on me...Now sleeping in a cat bed where he can see us all.....He will let you cuddle him, but as son as something happens, noises and the like he is off.......All in all they a thriving...Duke is still very small though, but perfectly healthy.....

Did she struggle much while you were having a good look?:lol:
She is calming down bit, sleeps where she can see us, she is ok till we move then she runs.....was too scard to move when we had a look. funny though, the two big ones are girls, Dutch is a boy and much smaller...
I'm on my way then:lol: :lol: :lol:

Very quick, how nice. Are they going together? Hope Daffy will soon lose her wariness around people, sounds as if you're off to a good start with her!
Yep, they are going together which is great....
Dutch was sick during the night, and has not eaten today, but I tend to think its because he is a little pigglet!!! will see if he will eat some chicken later...He is just sleeping at the mo...

He was yesterday, but has not eaten or drank anything today, as he is so tiny, I am on my way to the vets with him,...
