We just took in a rescue litter from the shelter. Everyone has colds, and mom is pretty battle-worn (limping, lost a chunk of her ear to frostbite over the winter). Everyone is getting medical support and once they are old enough, we'll find these teeny terrors forever homes!
Right now, despite being 'ferral', Mom likes to curl up next to me while she nurses - it's pretty heart melting.
She's discovered that she can get 'mom time' by jumping up on the desk we have in the room because oh man, do they never let her rest otherwise.
Be afraid of the silence!
I’m glad she can catch a nap, though.
