First Pictures of the Kittens I found Under my Deck
I know it's a little fuzzy, but it's not an easy space to get into.

5. Not orphans. The mom is a feral cat from the neighborhood
I'm feeding her and trying to tame her up a bit. I want the kittens to be socialized enough when they are old enough, so that they can be put up for adoption. Maybe i'll be able to catch the mom too, and have her spayed. Wish me luck!

10. Good luck. Get to them early.
We took in a family, mother and 3 kittens. However, ours were switched. Stray (human friendly) mother and feral kittens.

We took them in when we realized they were sliding downhill, scrawny, runny eyed and nosed, and flea ridden. We've gotten them cleaned and fattened up, and neutered.

However, we took them in late. Of the 3 kittens only one accepts being picked up without a struggle, and none seek out human interaction when food isn't in the offering.

So interact with the kittens as early and often as you can.

7. LOL. A kitty ball! We don't get them much 'round these parts.
usually they come in ones or twos. I say, A whole ball of kittens is pretty out of the ordinary I reckon(foghorn leghorn voice)

16. If you look closly, there are 4 kittens in that photo
There is a yellow tabby with it's face against another of the same color on the left side of the kitty ball.

15. That's awesome!
They're so adorable! Good luck with the momma.

We adopted a feral cat from the shelter, she was very skiddish for the first few months, but now she's all over us and she dictates when we get to lay on the bed!
