Two More Kittens Born in the Wild

From Franny Syufy, About.com

I'll mention once again that "kitten season" is hell for rescuers. See Starburst's picture on the following page.
When my wife, Kathy, and I first moved into our mountain home, it was apparent there was a large feral cat population. I began to TNR. By the second year, there were few fertile ones left, but we knew there was still one black queen which was pregnant. I was working out of town when Kathy called to say there were six wild kittens in our yard with no sign of the mother. I told Kathy to put out food and water. By the time I got home a week later, there were only three left and one of those disappeared before I could move them into the garage. The two remaining ones, a tuxedo cat and a tortie, wwere very wild. It took a long time to tame them down, but Starbust, the tortie, is now a confirmed lap cat and Tuck is the sweetest cat on earth.
