rescue kitty is doing a little better. she was pregnant...but none of them made it. it upset me a bit more than I expected. she's so sweet, and to think someone just threw her way really pisses me off...
Meet Fig (black cat), aka Figgy, the Figlet, and Schnitzel, aka the Schnitzler, (tuxedo kitty).
They visited our back garden as stray / feral kittens with their mum and siblings back in August 2022 for the first time, clearly foraging for food.
We adopted Figgy and Schnitzel and they have now been living with us and the resident cats for the past six months.
Pretzel, our youngest resident ginger tomcat (pictured below), turned out to be a professional kitten minder.
Pretzel instantly got on with the kittens.
In fact, he couldn't wait to start interacting with them and tried to break into the room where they were held in 'quarantine' after we initially took them in.
More on trapping Figgy, Schnitzler, their siblings and mum and integrating the feral brothers is available via the blog.
