CATS | hi, plurk! i'm looking for an emergency foster home for a mother cat and her seven (7) kittens in or around NC, US.

๐๐๐๐
the kittens are less than a week old, and while healthy, their mother has been stressed out by constant rain and is starting to move them to a more dangerous place in our yard.

another pet has already been taken to the emergency vet this week for a wasp sting/bite from exploring this area, which is but one hazard there.

the mother is a stray and on top of the stress of travel + nursing, is likely to be unfriendly to/skittish with strangers. she is, however, seeking a place indoors and may adapt quickly.

us too...! we're cleaning up the area of the yard she's starting to favor, but it's still pretty hazardous for itty bitty nuggets.

except for one, the kittens are in a healthy weight range per the aspca's guidelines.

i'm not an expert! but the kitten didn't seem to have an infection. i'm guessing it is a first time mother large litter issue.

i'll weigh the kitten again later when mom isn't nursing, but i think we'll prob put this one on formula.

What a good momma. Sometimes those first time mothers really do a good job with their kittens.

the kittens are a week old, now! they're very healthy and are starting to weigh on the larger side of their expected weight range. their dad is a big boy, so not unexpected.
