Well our lives have taken an unexpected turn ...
Over the last wee while, we’ve been keeping a careful, but distant eye on a litter of kittens born in our stable. Their mum is wild and has apparently abandoned them ...
Last night, was so cold, we became very concerned ... the kittens (4) were barely moving and two were barely breathing. Still no mum in sight ...
So, we did what we could to keep them warm overnight, with my wonderful daughter on night duty. Checking again this morning, still no mum and some very hungry, cold and weak kittens. It was time intervene. So we gathered them up, brought them inside to the kitchen and made a dash to our local vet, for advice and formula.
They’re so tiny, my heart aches for them ...
We’re now on a feeding schedule and they seem much happier ... definitely more vocal and active.
All fed and snuggled in a cosy jumper on my heating pad, I really hope they’ll be OK ... fingers crossed.
I guess we’ll have some farm cats after all ... :)
