Foster Victoria gave this update about the kittens she trapped and is fostering:
“These are the ferals I trapped on my street. Everyone is getting more and more social every day. They all purr! Brandon and Ethan are the most social. Ashton was the most shy but he is now the third social. Ashton is timid but he wants to loved on. If I am petting someone else he comes over to be pet in a timid way. He will come over and lay next to the cat I am petting and look at me like pet me too. They have taken a lot of work but they are almost ready for new homes. No hissing no hiding. Just kitties that want to play! They are still a little sensitive to noise but we are working on that. We can hold them and snuggle them we just need to get them use to being man handle by kids!
They are about 10 – 12 weeks old and they are almost 3 lbs. They should be available in the next couple weeks. Brandon, Ashton, and Ethan are the biggest. Alyssa and Danny are smaller. ”

Thank you for all that you do for these precious kitties. Rufus (previously Cheddar) is growing healthily and is a loving and cheeky cat who loves to play fetch with his catnip mice and my husband’s smelly socks. He is a joy in our lives, made possible because of your efforts.

Meet our rescued 2 momma cats and 10 kittens! Here is an update from
Rescued B&W Mom and her Kittens
Volunteer Shell about their history:
“A young woman in Hemet went out to her carport and discovered a young mom cat with 5 newly born kittens and she took them in so that they could be somewhere safe and warm. She made sure that the mom had access to food and water and was in her house in a warm safe place with her kittens.
Rescued B&W Mom and her Kittens
Approximately a week later she discovered a heavily pregnant cat also in her carport and took that one in as well. It looked very similar to the first cat so she thought maybe they were related and decided to keep both of them in her apartment. The second cat is the one that Lynn has and sent pics for. Shortly after taking in the pregnant cat she gave birth to 5 kittens. She had trouble birthing two of them and the girl needed to help her deliver. But the mom and the kittens have seemed healthy and happy since.
Rescued B&W Kittens
When the kittens started to grow and scamper around she realized that
1) her apartment was too small to keep herself, her boyfriend, her dog, her cat, plus two mom cats and 10 baby kittens in forever.
2) if she gave away the mom cats and the kittens without getting them spayed and neutered and vaccinated first she was just going to be adding to the overpopulation problem and she didn’t want that.
3) getting all of them spayed and neutered and vaccinated before giving them away was going to be more costly than she could afford and so getting them into a rescue was probably the best route so she began to look for a rescue.

She found the contact information for Karen at let them be little and contacted Karen about the cat and the kittens and Karen notified her that LTBL was full but that she would try to get in touch with somebody else that could possibly help and she contacted me, and here we are.

The kittens that I have are about 6 weeks old, were flea free, but were suffering from a mild URI which is mostly cleared up now. The ones that Lin has are about 4-4.5 weeks old. I am bad about guesstimating older cats ages so I would guess under 3 years old for the moms, possibly under 2 but may be off.”

Mama Torrie was living with a pack of other stray and feral cats in a condominium complex in Hemet. Her finder moved in almost a year ago and has been feeding this cat because she likes to hang around her place and is up on her roof a lot. We think but do not know for sure that it is possible her owners used to live in that same home and then just left their cat behind when they moved send Torrie seems to prefer that place so much. Shell helped to trap pregnant Torrie.
On Monday, April 2nd, Torrie gave birth in the morning to two beautiful kittens. Because she was so large and she was continuing to breathe rather heavily as though she was still in labor we ended up taking her into the vet yesterday to check and see whether or not she had any more kittens stuck inside her. It turns out that she’s just a little bit chunky and does not have any more kittens stuck inside of her which is good. She is a very good mother, very loving, takes excellent care of both of her babies and they are eating and moving well. The dark, solid colored one looks to be male, and Shell thinks the other will end up with a Torbi or Torti color pattern once older and is a female. Mom is a Torbi though looks more tabby as her orange splashes are light and only around the back legs/bum area.
