    So wish we had a Kitten Inn here in DC. Have a feral colony in my neighborhood. Last year a female had a litter of six kittens, four survived and were eventually captured when they were about nine months old. After they were spayed they went to a couple of foster homes but never heard if they got furrever homes. Mom cat was such a good mother. She called for her brood when they started disappearing as they still acted as a family. This year she was pregnant again. Got trapped. Her kittens were aborted and she was spayed and back out on the street the next day. Two of us who feed the colony didn't think she would service. She looked and acted lost for awhile. Several of her teets became engorged. If only there were Kitten Inns everywhere. I think of the litter that could have been when I see the success you have KiwiCatMom.

    Wish I cou have cats. Had two after being a dog person. Found out I'm allergic to them. Took the shots so we could keep them. Help feed the feral community to get my cat fix. They ARE interesting to observe.

    Remember the story I posted of the kitten found floating on the log and the kids hiked 4 km up a steep hill to get him to Kitten Inn? Here he is today...not quite big enough for adoption, but getting there!

    They named him Woody. :)

    And this is Gracie. Her mum took Woody in and nursed and cared for him. At first, Gracie and her siblings weren't quite sure about Woody, but now they're inseparable. I'm guessing there's a good chance they'll get adopted together.

    I hope those cat moms get treats/breaks from time to time!

    I woke up this morning, took my coffee outside, and before I was quite awake, had my first visitor of the day! A black cat, with about eighteen random white hairs on one of her sides, I am saying her, because i think she is in heat- that must be how she got lost- very friendly and very slender, not skinny. I only had a saucer of milk to offer her, and some lunch turkey slices. I am trying to wait for my man to get up, and come meet her, then I will take some pictures and post them. She is a great head butter!

    Part of me is hoping that she was looking for a home, it's like, one minute she was not there, and then the next she was! I was hoping she would not get bored with me, and leave before he could see her.

    I already told her she was welcome to stay, and then she lay down next to my sneaker, and relaxed.

    Sigh

    Awww..so sweet Tomboy!

    The momcats do get a break. They typically stay at Kitten Inn until they give birth, and then about a week after. Once everyone is sure the kittens are fit and healthy, they go into foster care. While they're at KI, they get cuddles when their cages get cleaned, so long as the momcats are willing. Some don't want to cuddle; they want to protect the babies. The kittens and momcat have a large dog crate that they stay in, just to keep them safe. The fosterers usually let the momcats have a few breaks during the day. When I fostered, I had them confined to one room and left the cage door open until the kittens were big enough to get out and explore. Then I rearranged things so they had a confined area and momcat could get away from them but still be in the same room. And once the kittens are weaned, the momcat gets spayed, vaccinated, chipped, etc., and the kittens stay in foster care until they're big enough for the same.
