Kitten babies and mama need help

Nancy on My Blog - Sun, August 24 2008

Hi everyone,

On our evening walk, we discovered a mama cat with 9(!) babies living on someone's patio. The mama is a stray who, obviously, met a traveling salesman.

Anyway, 9 babies later, these babies and mama need help. I really can't take them because my dogs have never been around baby kittens, and I just don't think I can trust them.

Is there anyone out there who can help or can direct me toward help? The babies are about 3 weeks old, and mama looks like a young one herself. Mama is kind of skinny.

I was thinking I could maybe put them in the dogs' cage out on my patio, but I know my boys will go nuts.

If you can help, call me at 299-0653. I'll be home all night.

Thanks!

Nancy

Update: The kittens and mama have a responsible adult looking after their well being for right now. They are trying to place them in rescue. I offered to lend him my cage to put on his balcony until they can be placed.

I feel a little better. They also have about 10 kids who are taking care of them and have given them names. (They informed me when the kitties go to rescue, they are NOT to have their names changed, which I thought was really sweet. They said they would tell me which name went with which kitty. LOL)
