    About 6 weeks ago our dog kept circling our house like he smelled something under there. We took a peek a few times but didn't come across anything unusual. Unfortunately, he started getting sick and quickly passed away 2 weeks ago.

    The day after he passed, a cat appeared on our back porch, she looked very boney so I left kibble out for her. I have two indoor cats and didn't want her to go hungry.

    A few days later I pop out to do laundry in my attached laundry room and there she was covered in kittens! This laundry room is enclosed on all sides except for the crawl space, so she found her way in there. She and I looked at each other

  • Well, that is quite a lot to take in all at once. This must have been such an overwhelming time for this pawrent. To go from losing a doggo to almost instantly having a family of felines on your hands is quite the turn around. Most people would not even spare a thought about what next? When do I start looking for another pet? But it seems that the CDS or whatever powers that be decided there was to be no waiting for this pawrent and the replacement was sent ASAP.

    neutering and rehoming if I fostered them myself. I would have appreciated the help, the vet bills to help our dog Shep were nauseatingly huge. (He was 140 lbs all meds and tests were proportionally bigger)

    We opted to make a vet appointment to this little fuzzy family looked at ourselves. I bribed mom into a carrier with catnip and caught her kittens and popped them in there all together.

    Good news is she tested negative for feline hiv but has hookworms. No fleas. They were all pretty dirty. The kittens are approx. four weeks old and have hair loss only on their back legs and tails. The vet thinks this may be

    tablecloths and taped them all together with duct tape just in case. Mom protested a bit the first night but she realized what the litter box was for and they're all using it now. I put in all the toys my two noodles haven't had an interest in and I think she's realized she's safe and comfortable in there.

  • Aww, this is just so sweet. You would think that a pet loving person who had just lost a pupper would not even be emotionally available to care for a new pet at this point. But here this heartwarming hooman is, giving the same love and dedication she had been giving to her pupper to these cute cats. Giving them a life of safety and luxury that they could not have dreamed of living as strays. It just goes to show that living with an open heart is more helpful than you might know it to be.

    I'm being very fastidious about cleaning up after caring and visiting with them just in case. Hopefully I can find homes for them with people I trust, we can't keep 8 kitties in the house! We will adopt 2
