The Crew, rescued kittens from animal control
All these precious babies are now available for adoption! If you can not give a forever home, any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Items such as paper towels, old towels, toys, bedding, liquid detergent to wash bedding, food (Kit N Kaboodle seems to be the favorite), can food, litter (scoopable) etc. Even a few dollars to purchase items for these and future cats/kittens and for spay/neuter cost would be marvelous! And a HUGE thank you to those who have and continue to contribute. Enjoy the video:

What's next?
Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I last updated. It's been difficult to do anything with all the work being done on my house.
Some may not know that I wasn't supposed to be fostering during the month of October because I was having work done on my home. But emergencies happen and I took in 2 mother's with a total of 8 kittens, 6 teen kittens that were very malnourished, 2 young adults and two other cats I held for a couple of weeks. It's difficult enough caring for this many on top of my own 12 cats and 2 dogs. But having workmen stepping over them all, making sure none stole away in their vans, etc. was very stressful.
I was fortunate enough to find homes for a few of these babies before one of the cats that I took in spread a nasty virus through most of them. Some were able to bypass this virus but I kept them just in case. I am now going to let them be adopted.
Until then, I desperately needs funds to care for the remaining ones I have: the two mothers, 2 kittens, 2 young adults, 5 of the 6 malnourished ones. I also need to get one of the mother's spayed. Y'all that have been reading this blog know her as Turtle.
So I still have 11 cats/kittens that need homes and as mentioned, need the funds to care for them. If you can give even a small amount, it will be appreciated. You can give by using the chip-in below, using the donate button on the right or mailing a check to the address on the right. Thank you!
I will be updating with pictures soon!

Sick kitties
It has been a very stressful week around my house. I have tons of people here daily weatherizing my home. In and out, in and out, up to the attic, down to the basement. On top of that, I've had a very sick kitten to care for.
I thought I could actually take a day for myself over the weekend. But I came home to find a little baby completely clogged up! This hit from nowhere. After antibiotics to stave off anything that she could catch from a weakened immune system, forced pedialyte, sub q fluids and lots of nutri-cal, she finally started drinking a little water and eating a little can food on her own. She's still weak and sleeps a lot. Her mom, Turtle, has been by her side and that does make her feel better. But today, Turtle started throwing up and feels slightly warm. So I've had to separate them in case Turtle caught the virus from the kitten. I don't want Turtle passing it back to the kitten. Or any of the other 3 kittens that Turtle allows to nurse from her.
I am on high alert in the event this 'bug' spreads. I pray that it doesn't. I am leaving in a week for a mini vacation. My plans can't be changed. I would feel horrible and not enjoy a minute of being gone if I left with anyone sick or potentially sick.
So right now, I'm feeding everyone lots of nutritious foods including chicken and fish. Tonight they got mac & cheese mixed with people tuna! I am already low on food & litter. So I'm asking for any help that can be given. I got lucky that the kitten to get this bug was a little fatty. So her not eating solid food for two days only made her a bit thinner. I have 5 others who were thin when I rescued them (that's why they were going to be PTS, because they were 'thin').
Sneezes can spread a virus very quickly. Having holding cages will not prevent this from spreading unless the cages are far apart or in different areas. Which is why I only use them for taming the feral or if a cat doesn't like other cats/kittens. I have everyone spread out, in different rooms. So say a prayer for these babies. And if you can help me make sure over the next few weeks that they get highly nutritious food (and a way for them to get rid of their food 'litter', lol), it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Need contributions for Oct. food, litter & medical cost
Thank you everyone who chipped in so 7 kitties can be spayed/neutered next week. We now need contributions for the month to cover food, litter and medical cost for the remaining 14 cats & kittens. Drop off contributions are also welcomed as are gift cards (prefer Wal Mart because they have the better prices). Food used is Kit n' Kaboodle, kitten dry food, canned food (we really need this!). If you have a few extra dollars, we would love to have it! We accept Paypal but will also accept mailed contributions (and we don't loose fee money for this) and the address is to the right. Thank you so much in advance and the kitties really appreciate it too!
