A short history of our first two kittens.

In Oct. of 2006, Village Kittens rescue came to life. The first two kittens that came to us were Peeper and Peppy, now named Tigger and Simon. These two little guys came to us at 3 to 4 days old. their body temperature was very low and they were somewhat de-hydrated. After 72 hours of hard work the two started to show signs of life. It took another 72 hours to get them moving about and wanting to nurse, yes nurse. Fran and I took shifts in nursing the two using a small plastic syringe filled with milk replacement formula. We continued feeding with the syringe and in their fifth week, we slowly introduced them to wet kitten food with the milk. They were not very responsive at first but about two weeks of perseverance they finally were eating wet food with a bit of help. At 5 weeks they were litter trained. At 9 weeks they were eating wet food and drinking on their own. These two kittens at 12 weeks looked like two 5 week old kittens. Today May 17th 2007, the boy are back for the weekend. They are now 7 and a half months old. In our shelter we have 3, 4 month old kittens one of them is large than both Tigger and Simon and the other two are the same size.

The photo below shows Tigger and Simon at 10 days of age.

The boys were born on the 1st of Oct 2006 and adopted on Dec. 23rd 2006 by a loving couple from Ottawa. Being able to be at home most of the time was an important factor in finding a suitable adoptive family. In this case, along with many other factor, this couple was perfect for the boys. The boys have become as much a part of their family as is humanly possible.

The photos below shows Tigger and Simon at 6 months of age.

   

After their adoption it was not all over. Their new family had to get them eating kibbles. Many different types and brands were tried. Success finally came at the end of March 2007. Now 5 months old life was starting to normalize for these two little guys. On April 16th 2007, the boys were neutered.
