Barney, Betty and Bamm-Bamm

So, we sort of had an emergency last night.. I got a call that someone was giving away kittens on craigslist. So, of course I called to check on their status. Most people don't know how to bottle feed so I wanted to make sure that they weren't going to starve to death.

Sure enough, the girl who "found" the kittens didn't know what to do - and had the kittens for over 24 hours. But by the time I called her she already gave away 3 to someone, that she said was a 'vet tech'. Can you believe this woman actually only took half of the kittens? The nerve! She didn't even care what was going to happen to the other 3.. and she knew this girl had no idea how to feed a newborn kitten. Jerk.



As it turns out we had planned to take a mother and her 3 kittens, that were about 8 weeks old, in a few days. And instead of bottle-feeding I sent a frantic email to the owner of the cat asking her if we could take the mother cat in early - hoping that she would nurse the kittens so I wouldn't have to.



Well, the wonderful, wonderful girl who had taken-in this black cat (who ended up having 3 black kittens) drove almost an hour to bring the mother cat to us! Can you believe that? There ARE nice people out there!

So, thank you SO much Sydni! You saved us two months of annoying and exhausting bottle-feeding! :)



Whew!
