So who here doesn't love KITTENS?

Since my wife and I do kitten rescue (we specialize in bottle babies) it is my job to feed and scoop and also take photos while she takes care of the public relations.

These 3 we took in at 2 weeks old.
The photo is from 7 weeks and on Friday they go in for spaying and neutering then off to their new caregivers. We found homes for 2 and the one on the left, we are keeping. Her name is Grace. and the name suits her well.


The following 4 are from a neighbor who is fostering and I post them as I spent quite a bit of time trying to get some decent shots.
They are about 8 weeks old and didn't sit still for a second let alone 1/60. Tech specs available upon request.








And as a side note ... on Monday evening we took in 4 more, almost 4 weeks old and ready to start weaning and litter training. Be forewarned, pictures will be posted.

Maybe you could post this in Pets as well, so more kitten-lovers will see these pics. Thanks for posting - looking forward to more.

Kittens!

And my favorite is the calico-tortie, although I love all cats and kittens.
Thank you so much!

I do have family in WA though. I have asked my brother if he wanted a new cat and he declined. Plenty of shelters everywhere though so you really don't need to do much driving.

And even I cannot resist the charms of kittens! Thank you for the photos. I have passed a few along to a friend whose life will not be complete until she has a cat of her own. (Husband doesn't want the competition.)

I was partial to the calico in the second image, but I made a joke to my friend about the black and white one in the third picture.

We had been talking about Daniel Day-Lewis and his intense blue eyes. I said that the kitten in the third shot would grow up to be the Daniel Day-Lewis of cats. Ohh, baby!

I just installed the "Make America Kittens Again" Firefox add-on. Substitutes kittens for pictures of trump. Also available for Chrome.
