Category Archives: Tails In

It’s kitten season.  It’s mama and kitten season.  Tails High foster families, along with nursing mamas, are caring for 20+ kittens at present.  We’ve got orange ones, gray ones, gray and white ones, white and gray ones, tuxedos, torties, brown tabbies, fluffies … and soon to come into the TH system, black ones, white ones, and who knows what else.  If someone is looking for a kitten, Tails High is the place to come.  Of course, they’ll all be very affectionate, playful and cuddly … that’s the hallmark of a Tails High kitten.

Today I want to welcome Kanga (pictured below) and her 7-week-old babies, Roo (gray with white spots) and Wally (white with gray spots).  We tried to see if bottle baby Alex O. (in picture below with Kanga), who had been expertly cared for by new Advocate Laura Z, would nurse from Kanga.  Nope (“I want my bottle!!” said Alex O.)  Kanga loved him as she loved her own. She groomed him, pottied him, cuddled with him.  But he wouldn’t nurse.  Then we put him with Gingie, who was nursing five babies (four of her own).  Nope (“I want my bottle!”).  He was the best at drinking from a bottle!  But foster mama Laura took him back to her house, telling him, “You have teeth!  You can eat on your own.”  And in her experienced hands, I’m sure he will be soon transitioned to kitten food, if he is not already.

First blog in a series of “welcomes” to our kittens.  More as pictures become available …

Alex O: "I love you, step-mama. I love all my mamas, feline and human."
