And Then There Was One...

...That didn't make it. The other 5 kittens appear to be hail and hearty. Quite the opposite of what we were expecting after the first night.

We thought we'd end up with 1 healthy kitten, and 5 dead ones. Four of the "near dead" ones were able to survive, with a little help from us and lots of TLC from Patches, but the last one just wasn't strong enough to compete for food with it's brothers and sisters, and sadly it didn't make it. But as the saying goes, only the strong survive, especially in nature.

So now we're left with 2 black/dark grey ones, and 3 solid white ones with black patches on their heads (like their mom.) I met a lady while I was at work who wants to take at least one of them when they get a bit older, but we'll need to find homes for the others most likely. So if you hear of anyone who wants a cute little ball of fur, just let us know.

And speaking of cute little balls of fur (although they look more like moles at the moment), here are some new pictures I took of them today.
