They are adorable! Hopefully there are adoption events you can take them to.

u/SleepyKouhai Sep 02 '24

Adoption events? There's such a a thing?

Not OP, but I have kittens as well. TIA~

I used to volunteer to foster rescue cats and kittens. The rescue organizations take adoptable animals from county shelters and pair them with fosters. The org publicizes and stages adoption events at places like local animal shelters, flea markets and stores like PetCo and PetSmart (pet supply chain strores).

The one I was associated with held adoption events four hours on Saturdays at a particular store in my area. It was a foster's responsibility to feed, care for and socialize the animal(s), transport them and show them at these events. It's all done at the foster's expense (all veterinary care is provided though) and it's a very satisfying thing to see your foster go to his/her forever home. It's pretty successful here in SoCalif.

HIGHLY recommend Kitten Lady. She is a very experienced foster carer and has lots of good instructions for looking after baby fuzzies with and without nice mommas.

u/Street-Snow-4477 Sep 02 '24

Aww so helpless. Glad you found them. No momma around?

u/Suthernboy1968 Smol Criminal Accomplice Sep 02 '24

Not at all. It's strange. We’ve been here for 15 years and we’ve never had this happen before.

u/Deep-Independence-36 Sep 02 '24

I hate to think that someone put them out then again it's very possible

u/Street-Snow-4477 Sep 02 '24

I know. That was my thought. Some horrible human’s actions

u/Deep-Independence-36 Sep 02 '24

That's how I ended up with 4 adult stray cats over a course of time

u/Street-Snow-4477 Sep 02 '24

I ended up with one tiny baby tossed in our n’hood in the bitter cold wind chills were in the negatives. At 4 months old he had been abused…broken sternum, ribs, pneumonia. He’s 11 yrs old and spoiled everyday of his life! Sweetest boy 😻

u/Deep-Independence-36 Sep 02 '24

Oh my goodness poor baby but since in your care he's had the chance to live his best life. Last winter a black n white cat was laying on my front deck and when he saw me he'd run away. He was very skinny especially at the hips his back was even curved. He looked pitiful. After 4 months of taking things slow he finally let me pet him. Now he's a big baby that's very affectionate and between my feet everywhere I walk around. Then this spring I kept hearing a black cat meowing under the house. He was friendly and came right out when I called him. Still have those 2 little guys and named the b/w cat Baby (only name he answers too) and the black one I named Mr. Binx

u/Street-Snow-4477 Sep 03 '24

Awww im happy you saved them! My heart breaks for any animal that suffers. I do what I can. Give Mr.Binx and Baby a big hug from me. lol I think we’re very lucky to have them. 🙏

Too cute! :D Thank you for sharing them.

At my dad’s house in a rural area, he’s taken in dozens upon dozens of stray or abandoned cats, and 7 dogs dumped by cruel humans. I can’t even fathom the depths of such cruelty.

My dad’s not a wealthy man, but he does his best by them. We’re in a neighboring county and we’re caring for a small colony ourselves.

u/Deep-Independence-36 Sep 02 '24

It's sad how those people do such heartless and cruel things to innocent animals.

u/Street-Snow-4477 Sep 03 '24

Absolute angels!

u/Wolfwoods_Sister Smol Prosecutor in Training Sep 03 '24

We can’t bear to see them suffer ☹️

u/CoCoNutsGirl98 Sep 03 '24

I feed a TNR colony… people dump cats (adults and kittens) there ALL THE TIME. The saddest part is the friendly adult cats who obviously come from a home are all of a sudden homeless living in a cat colony.

I live on Maui and many people were forced to move into temporary housing that doesn’t allow pets (we have a serious housing crisis, due to the fire). We have one humane society which is always at capacity AND people know that the colony is being fed and cared for… but it’s still sad.

u/Street-Snow-4477 Sep 03 '24

It’s very sad. Thank you for helping them

That little chin!!!

u/michellekwan666 Sep 02 '24

He is pretty smol. Are they all from the same litter? Do you have experience caring for tiny kittens? I’m not an expert at telling age from photos but I know in the first few weeks they require food/milk every few hours, stimulation to use potty, and warmth. Not to be annoying about it but since this is an extra smol it’s urgent ❤️

Having been in this boat several times, very recently in fact, I want to sincerely thank you for the time and care you’re putting in to help these poor children. It can be hard work when they’re this little. I appreciate you more than you know.
