Wilma is a foster mum too


Clever Wilma is now a foster mummy too. One of the other CP cats had a litter on thursday too, she had 6, but she hasn't been the best of mums tbh. But then as she's only 8 months old it's not surprising She rejected the little fella, and wont let anyone near her kittens yet. One of the vet nurses took him home to handrear but he hasn't been getting on well with the bottle. So they thought they would give Wilma a try. As soon as I put him in with her she started licking and cleaning him straight away I've had to sit with him for the last hour to keep latching him onto the nipple, as he didn't have a clue bless him, but he's getting there. My 3 are HUGE compared to hm so there will be no trouble telling him and BamBam apart lol (he's B&W btw). So this one has been named Dino, and I'll try and get a pic later, don't want to disturb things too much just now.

That's very sweet.

We sometimes foster puppies onto different bitches at work. (Only when nec, not something we do unless we really need to) In fact we fostered some last Thursday.

Glad she likes her new baby!

well, just been up to check on them and tuck them in for the night, and little Dino is suckling for all he's worth so fingers crossed, at least he has a fighting chance now.
