You will remember my post of Desiree, the KOTD on 22 May. Well, yesterday, she started labor around 2 PM, at around 4 PM, she had the first of four lovely babies by breach birth. Two of the others would come out this way, too. Guess they wanted to be ready for running, jumping and playing kitten tag. π
Anyway, I promised you a pic of the babies, and here they are. This was taken when they were just about 12 hours old.. these kits are HUGE! Each is about 5″ long from nose to haunches. Add another inch and a quarter for the tales. π
As of now, they seem quite healthy. Mama is a great mama, and never strays far from her brood for more than a minute or so to eat, drink and eliminate. She’s an interesting study in feline motherhood, as she insisted on us acting as midwives for her… π
Enjoy. I’ll try to post more pics as they grow until they go to their furever homes. (we will probably keep one).

Thu-ploof!!! So much cuteness in one picture! Thank you for sending the picture. Scritches to the babies and to wonderful mama Desiree!
Best of luck – they are sure to find their forever homes as soon as they are ready! I don’t envy you having to decide which one to keep!
I bet Desiree is glad that’s over and she can get to the second part of being a mother. It sounds like she’s bonded to your family and wants to be a part of it. Thanks for taking her in and giving her a safe place to have her kittens. Good luck to them and to you!

Love the little guy in the middle..such perfect white gloves and sockies.
What a sweet batch of babies! You sure helped out mama Desiree with her little family. Life would have been so difficult for her without you. Bless you for having such a big, squishy heart!
These babies are adorable! I want to cuddle them. π
They are soooooo cute! Thank you for caring for Momma & the furbabies! I’m sure that the little beauties will have no problem finding their forever home!
My furkids & I wish you, Desiree & her babies many happy, healthy years! =^..^=

Thank you for your kind and wonderful comments. Thought I’d give an update on these sweet babies:
They are growing steadily and seem quite healthy. Each is already between 240 and 290 grams. Not bad for only 9 days old. π Two have their eyes fully open, another has one eye open. The fourth still does not have it’s eyes open, but is the second largest kitten.
