Description

:iconrules01plz::iconrules02plz: Rules for using my Stock

Lillepus, my brother's cat, was supposed to get sterilized, but the vet said she was too young. Shortly after, before the new time the vet gave them, she became pregnant. Not wanting to abort the kittens my brother decided to wait till after they were born. During this time he found 5 feral kittens in a dumpster at his work. He brought 4 of them home with him (the fifth a co-worker took). The now very pregnant Lillepus took to the young ones right away! She took care of them, washed them and would probably let them suckle had they tried (they suckled on every surface they got purchase, so not sure why they didn't try) 



The fluffy white one was a female called Milky (got a new home at 8 weeks old. To early for my taste, but it was their decision),
 the black was a male called Zorro, and the spotted one we called Spotify and believed to be a male until she gave birth ^^; (one still born and one rejected during the night, so unfortunately both kittens died =( )

Spotify was kept by my brother for a year before being re-homed due to moving. She was still so tiny that we managed to find a new home for her =)

Zorro worried me as he had an extremely large scrotum. He seemed to get better, but after a few weeks he still seemed to have some pains, and was taken to the vet. Apparently he had no but hole, the scrotum had simply ruptured in the area where it should have been. Fixing it would be hard, and he would still have pains the rest of his life, so he was put to sleep. 



These photos was taken on top of their soft padded climbing post, which I used to get better photos. The mother was nice and calm and never reacted on the kittens being moved at all =) 
I also made sure to only keep them for a minute at a time. The bigger kittens where very curious about the little ones, and so careful so we let them come close under close supervision. They where all perfectly safe and happy =^_^=
