Our next litter was a lovely black mother cat, Tula, with her four semi-longhaired kittens, although the mother was a stray she obviously had had a home as she was very friendly and so were the kittens as they take their cues from her.
A couple of days later and our next litter are feral kittens picked up from an Industrial Estate. The catching of these kittens has been timed very carefully so that they are old enough to have been weaned and so to survive without their mother but not so old they have become too feral themselves.
Their mother has been caught and neutered and then rereleased to the estate where she is living as she is too feral to home and she is regularly fed by workers on the site.
Tula, mother of the kittens above, spent several days talking through the perspex between the two pens to the new feral kittens and so I allowed her in to visit them. She was very affectionate towards them and as they all seemed in very good health I opened up the pens allowing them all to mingle.
This was wonderful for the feral kittens. They adopted Tula as their new mum and the black kittens as their brothers. They quickly became much tamer by following their example.
This little one came to join the eight kittens above. A uni student brought him home to be told by her parents that he couldn't stay. He is a very friendly soul and was quickly snapped up by a new owner.
All the kittens have now been homed and even mum, Tula, has gone to a loving new home, and for a well earned rest after doing such a great job of looking after all those little monkeys!
Rosemary (Rosie) is staying with us and is getting on great with all our other pets.
Another litter from an industrial estate...
...and another from a farm...
In short; due to owners not neutering their cats it was litter after litter of unwanted kittens.
and my biggest litter yet...
