For those of you that don't know the non fish side of me, I will straight up admit I am an animal nut. I know my husband gets that look on his face whenever I start shouting, " Stop the car! Stray!" I foster when I can,and I just placed my last foster cat a couple months ago and was taking a little break. So..

I responded to a plea for help from a lady who found 2 itty bitty kittens in a hole near her home on Friday. She waited all day for Mama cat to come back, but no luck. I went North and scooped them up last night and went into instant mommy mode. I had just got off of work, and was unprepared for the transport. No carrier, towels, nothing. So... into my shirt they went to keep warm. One was very lethargic, with one little eye open. I call him Cyclops. The other had both eyes closed still. We hustled over to Petsmart to pick up bottles and formula and some supplies.

Right now I believe them to be 10-12 days old according to fellow fosters and numerous sites. As of today, both have their eyes open. My weenie dog has taken over on cleaning duties. I was having a hard time making them go #2, but all is well now.

I wanted to share their progress with you guys. Hope you enjoy. I plan to keep their updates here. :)


Oh! last night, I said thank you to my husband for letting me do this, and he said "well, I really didn't have a choice in it. You had already called them and set everything up.
" I said, "yeaa.. you are right. You had no choice" lol. He knows me :ROFL:

kittys!!! they so cute!!
 
Thanks guys. I just adore these little guys. I have raised orphaned pups, but kittens are a little different. They do love to be near my big ol' 19 lb cat and cuddle. He doesn't mind too much either. He just kind of stares lol.
 
How adorable! They are so lucky that such an awesome animal nut happened by to save them. They probably told you on the foster sites already but I think that they are almost due for their first deworming at 14 days.

Yes maam. I have it waiting on top of the fridge. I am going to wait until Wednesday when I am off of work to make sure they don't have any reactions to it. I doubt they will, but I would rather keep my peace of mind lol. Thank you for the kind words :)
