It's kitten season again! [View all]
My new fosters are a mama and her four newborn kittens. I got them at less than a day old. The mom is semi-feral, used to being fed by people outdoors. But she came inside to have her babies, and the shelter took over from there. Fostered out to me. They are eight days old today and their eyes are beginning to open. Mom's name is Greta; haven't named the kids yet. She is learning to trust me but still flinches when I reach out to pet her. If not with the kittens, she stays under the bed! She lets me handle the babies, and hopefully she will come around all the way before we are through. 
She looks like a pretty young cat herself--maybe this is her first litter. She didn't seem all that familiar with kittens--how to lay down with them, etc.-- but has been a good mama.
