Feral Kittens

 Back in late March or early April I made the discovery of 3 kittens in my barn with a mother cat who I had seen hunting around the ranch. A few weeks later they were still there and kittens were getting big. Then some time later I see increasingly skinny kittens wandering around outside. No sign of mother cat. I couldn't stand to see it. Nature can be very cruel. I began to put food & water out for them.

Mother cat never returned.

I had 3 kittens for awhile until about August first. Then the all black kitten vanished.

Now I have Annie, a female tabby and white. And Stalker, all black with one white dot on his chest. Outside cats. But they are getting older, i.e. sexually maturing. Uh oh.


I didn't ask for these babies. I have had no luck in finding a local person to adopt one. The local cat rescue is full. My house cat is very offended at their presence. Stalker often squirts by me into the house when I go out the door. I scoop him up when Holly greets him with a loud hiss. These two are friendly, loving, healthy, 5 month olds.

 Where is their new home?
