are growing big this spring! Yes, maybe all over your lawn but, of course we are talking about kittens.
Early in May we took in mom, Blossom, and her three kittens (2 weeks old at the time)
Just a kitten herself (about 9 months old), she was found running the streets as a stray in Hartford- Apparently this girl is a little on the wild side, as she soon wound up pregnant. Her rescuer found herself in over her head and reached out for some help.
It was during Blossoms vet visit that they discovered she had a painful abscess on her mammary gland that was ruptured and draining. However, despite the pain she continued to nurse and care for her kittens.
Now, at almost five weeks old – the kittens are thriving:
And mom is so ready
to return to being a kitten again! Though she’ll have to stick it out a few more weeks.
A couple of weeks before Blossom arrived, we took in another litter of four boy kittens that were trapped as part of a feral TNR project in Hartford.
They came to us at just about 7-8 weeks and our volunteers have been working hard to turn these “airplane ears”
into friendly kitten ears. Jupiter, Colt, Tetris and Chickpea have come a long way.
And it’s been quite the ride with these boys but our volunteers have done a great job with them. Still a little nervous and skittish, but ready for homes of their own.
