About a month ago this pregnant kat decided to adopt us. She used to hang out at a neighbor's house, but they moved and didn't take her. Kittens were born this morning, in a little shelter I made under our deck. They've been transferred to the deck where other critters, including our other 2 kats can't get to them. No names, because we plan to re-home as many as possible. (Anyone interested?)I named the mom Jackie, and she has been nicknamed Karma, because she seems to have some sort of protective field around her. That, and 7 kittens were born on 8/12/2020 (20 2020)  IMG_0277 (1) by unclejoe1158, on Flickr  IMG_0278 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr  IMG_0280 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr  IMG_0282 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr  IMG_0283 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr  IMG_0284 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr  IMG_0285 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr  IMG_0286 by unclejoe1158, on Flickr |

So cute! We had stray kittens born around here too, if any were calicos like yours I would have had a much tougher time rehoming them. My favorite! <3

I lived on a farm growing up and we had calicos and orange cats. I just thought those were typical cats. lol We had every kind of colour, even pure black cats too. We had a barn cat that we couldn't get close to who had kittens all the time.

I don't mind driving some to get them a good home. There is a farmhouse near here where the wife has all kinds of barn kats. I would be surprised if Jackie didn't originate there, or at least got mated there. |

I live in Washington state so quite a ways away |

karma kitty went almost 24 hrs without eating and the kits didn't gain much weight today so we took them all in to the vet to get checked. She said all is well. kits are all plump and mom is producing milk, no fleas mites or ticks, but may be having a hard time keeping up with 7 babes. We had hoped to not spend much on a stray that just decided to download kittens here because she figured us as animal lovers. When the time comes we will rehome the kits and get her fixed, and hopefully rehome her. She's very friendly and loving but not to our other kats. one of the black and white ones has started opening his eyes. He is a male, as are the 2 black ones and the rest are girls. As I said, I will drive a couple hours to meet anyone here who would like one. My new greeting is, "How many kats you want?"

It's too bad you live across the country. I foster for the humane society and have experience bottle feeding kittens.
