This sounds like a newspaper :) The teeny little kittens are doing GREAT! Their foster Mom is bottle feeding them about every 4 hours and says that they are doing everything they should be doing. They have almost doubled in size (!) already, their eyes are open and they are very mobile. I'll have pictures hopefully tomorrow or Thursday after I go to visit them. Yeah!! What a miracle that we found someone willing and able to do this very challenging phase of rescue. Thank you, Liz!!
This evening when I went to set traps (more on that later) there had been changes to the yard of the vacant house. It was dark, however, I could see that branches had been cut and piled up in the yard. It appears that the entity who owns the house did some "winterizing" per a note on the door and I can only wince when I think that they could have been tromping around that yard last Thursday when those tiny kittens were right there barely under a shrub. The kittens could have been stepped on (they were in the area where a bunch of branches were cut) and/or disturbed or accidentally injured. What luck that they were found before the workpeople scheduled this house! They certainly wouldn't have been looking for kittens on the ground and definitely would have had other issues on their minds.
I guess things worked out for the best for these two little ones (I hope). I'm going to keep my eyes open for Number 3, in case he/she is still around with Mom...
