Hey Everyone,
Last week, we were contacted by an acquaintance who informed us that they had approached a local shelter – which shall remain unnamed – about three six-week-old babies they had found on their property.
They said the mother of the kittens had been taken in by a neighbor, but she had been left with the babies.
As she traveled for work, she could not take care of them and went to the shelter to give them these three little kittens who would have been adopted in an instant.
To her horror, the shelter refused to accept them and said they to go take them to the woods and...
"leave the kittens outside on their own."
Stunned, our friend called us, recounted the story, and asked if we could help.
We said, "No problem," and to bring them right over.
Not only are these kittens sweet and absolute mushes, but they are even smaller than we expected.
Despite being healthy, there is no chance these little ones would have made it through November without their mother!
We will be caring for these little people until they are old enough to be spayed and/or neutered, and when the time is right, we will work with our friends over at the North Fork Animal Welfare League to get them into their forever homes.
As for the unnamed shelter, we will be calling them this week – not to yell at them – but instead to try to begin a relationship with them so that if this ever happens again, they know they can call us, and we will help those they cannot care for.
Meanwhile, here are some more pictures of these sweet babies...
They's so tiny they fit in a water cup!!!!!!!
