fostering 3 hissy spitties tommorow yeh

[issey6cats]

a friend who like me is involved in rescue phoned me tonight a friend of hers a feral cat has 3 around 8 week old kittens born in a shed have offered to foster them and hopefully will be able to get yorkshire cat rescue to take them in when i have tamed them, have told her to get in touch with CPL to see if they can trap neuter release the mom so hopefully that will get done and my friend is bringing the hissies over tommorow afternoon cant wait

Best of luck, issey (Out of interest, is 8 weeks getting towards the upper limit of max age for taming or could it go on for a bit longer ? (All other things being equal.))

PS - although I know you have taming superpowers.

(Is the camera busy charging?)

right lady rang me and we had to go get them tonight as mom had spotted hoomans near her babies, when we got there she had already moved one baby but we managed to grab the other two they are georgous around 6-8 weeks which is well within the 3 months limit even though yorkshire cat reascue has tamed older than this they do cat whispering and are experts, they are georgous a boy grey tabby and his sister is grey tabby and white, shes timid but not too hissy the boy is a bit hissy but its cos hes scared bless him have decided working names will be leo and lucy, got home to a ruddy power cut so poor babies first impression of my house scrambling round for candles

oh and mom has done a good job no flu and very healthy looking

Good luck with the little ones :)

They're lovely. And obviously not that feral. I've known kittens of that age that would have your arm off. So Mum and one kitten still need to be caught?

They are gorgeous! And yes, seems like a good sign that they're pick-up-able.

funnily enough they are feral born apparently mom has been around a while and has had several feral litters, but for ferals yes they arent too bad just quite scared more than aggresive, and yes mom and one kit to be caught, my friend who phoned me knows someone who works at a vets and the vets have agreed to lend a trap and if they catch her to neuter her for free on monday which is great, so hopefully they will find other kit who will come to me and mom will be neutered and released back to her known territory with no more kits on the horizon

ahh lovely pics xxx

They're adorable. Poor mum having to provide for them on her own.

fluffy where mom is there are only about a dozen houses and two or three of them have cats of their own so they put food out for the ferals, there are about 9 ferals in this colony so i have asked the guy whos shed they were in to contact CPL about getting the colony TNR so it wont grow any bigger,

I seem to remember that - Yes - Haworth are very good indeed. Wasn't there white, deaf cat who was in a cage because of his problems? What happened to him?

Sorry - Yorkshire Cat Rescue.

cozie i remember the one you are on about he was rehomed to an indoor home after whispering because cats stay at haworth now yorkshire rescue till they are rehomed no matter how long it takes

Ah - he got a home.

Out of interest, issey, what's the general view on what rescues need most? I know that I'm maybe asking you to speak for more than YCR but in a couple of weeks, Seniorboy is going to be wanting to send out his Xmas list so I was wondering whether rescues need food and litter (saw your own Amazon wish list) or whether that would be terribly prosaic of Seniorboy and some cat toys etc would be better at this time of year? Or maybe even just money?

cozie the main expenses for rescue centers are always food first, they get through a hell of a lot of litter, even though we have cat genies we still need litter trays for some pens, and vets fees are of course ouch money wise, people tend to bring enough blankets, towels and toys into the center so its nice of senior boy (and mom) to think of cats who havent got a super home like he has xx
