Here is a pic of the kittens about a week before we caught them.....Cashew, Skippy and Jif.....yes, they are named after p.nut butter and nuts!! They are all resting comfortably in their cage and have been cuddling in the rug hammock we made for them....I could bring them all in they are so cute, however with 5 of our insiders being over 17 yrs old, I am afraid adding 3 kittens to the mix would be too traumatic (for me too..LOL). The 2nd pic is of Jif......

Darling!! As you know I do fostering, trap neuter release also. I have a Cashew, a Peanuts, I had a skippy too before. Great names! We are down to 15 cats right now. I have three babies ready to name and be on their own. about a half dozen are ready to go out for adoption. They are fun!! Suzanne

Hi fellow rescuer....these 3 will be ready to release tomorrow. If I hang onto them any longer will have to bring them in the house...LOL! I love that you have some the same name....any ideas for getting momma, since she has an aversion to getting near a trap or kennel?

Oh I like Jif's face - he looks so aware of everything! I bet you get some pretty loud hissing and spitting. My sister and I always loved finding ferell kittens in granddad's barn. We tried to tame them, and sometimes could get one to come around. But even those tiny ones were soooo wild. Hope you get the Momma soon. Thank you, Vicki and Jim for doing this important rescue!

Yes, Jan, Jif is adorable and Skip & Jif cuddle together, Cashew seems more reserved, although outside she was always palling with Jif, so the dynamics change when they are caged!! Skip's leg is healing well, she had an abcess on the underneath front leg. We paid for a 2 week long lasting antibiotic injection to take care of that. I am already getting attached so it is time to release soon!

How many do you have? Inside outside cats all around! There should be a song about your cats! How many outside? They look healthy and happy. and they are not ferrel, correct?

to get all three in one pic - must be waiting for food!

Yep, you are correct, Christine, the pic with the 3 is an evening feeding and the one of just Jif is a morning, she is looking in the sunporch.......we have 6 inside right now, Grayce and her 3 sisters who are 171/2 yrs old and they were feral and after much work, they are domesticated enough to be with Jim & I.....Charles is 17 yrs old and was a stray and Sammi is 4 yrs old and was a stray as well. These 3 we have in the garage are feral.....they just started having human contact at about 4 months, when their momma finally started bringing them to eat....Then their momma got preggars again and dropped 2 more kittens which look to be about 2 mos. old....momma stopped coming and bringing the little ones when we started setting the trap and carrier out, as soon as we brought the devices back in (after a few days) she started coming again to feed.....so she will be a huge challenge to capture.........we don't believe in giving up though!
