help us find a good home...

Almost two weeks ago now I got an emergency call from my landlord. He'd found a baby kitten in an abandoned property, "Could you please take it in and nurse it 24/7???" Yikes, I hopped in the truck and headed over only to get a call a bit later saying he'd found momma and apparently he'd disturbed her in the process of moving her brood of five out of the basement. When I finally got there (to paint the place) a week later mom and babies were living in a cardboard box in the neighbors carport. Mom wasn't too keen on visitors so I respected her privacy. She was looking pretty thin though so I determined to win her over with fishy smelling things...

First the remains of my tuna sandwich. Then I moved on to sardines. Today during sardine delivery mom looked quite a bit better = ) I came with my camera but had a hard time getting her pic as she was more interested in me petting her than in eating the sardines, progress!!!

So sorry all these pics are blurry, kitties are moving and so am I, it's chilly...

Sadly, today I could only find 4 kitties!!!

All but one had their eyes open so I'm guessing they are maybe 3-4 weeks old now. (Perhaps the fourth just has an eye infection.) They are still a bit wobbly on their feet but overall look pretty good.

Here's the little peanut with one eye still not open...

Can you say awwwww....

This little one is my personal fav, and the most active of the bunch so far!

Finally as I was leaving I was able to get far enough away from momma to snap a pic. She was really starved for affection today, even kneading the grass as I petted her. She's not much more than a kitten herself poor thing. She is definitely not a ferile cat, very clean and well groomed despite being homeless for the time being.

If anyone wants this lovely little family I can bring them to you (within reason!) even as soon as this week. If anyone wants just one or two kittens we'll need to wait a bit, I think they still need momma for at least a couple more weeks...
