Hi, everyone. Newbie here.
My name is Heather. I’m married with 3 kids. I have a dog, Puppy who has epilepsy and 3 cats, Jefferson, Cupcake, and Butterscotch that I rescued last year. A-hem…. I also have 6 kittens that I didn’t really prepare for.
Ugh! I know! I fell down the stairs at Christmas and things were so hectic after that, I honestly meant to take them in and get them fixed, but there was literally so much going on, months went by in the blink of an eye.
Boom! Both females got pregnant within days of each other. Butterscotch gave birth to 4 kittens on 6-21 and Cupcake gave birth to 2 kittens on 6-28.
Jefferson was not a happy cat when we took him to the vet and had him neutered, so when he got home he immediately attacked Cupcake and got her by the neck. He would not let go. He was still going through the motions. Luckily he calmed down pretty fast and ever since he has not been aggressive.
3 more weeks until I can take the kittens in to be checked. The vet is going to let me put their pictures on the wall for perspective owners. Despite the expense they will be free to a good home, but I’m not about to take them out and just give them away. I want them to have good homes and if I can’t find any, they’ll stay with us. They are so precious, but man I have spent sooo much money on cat food, supplements, and vitamins. (Oh and don’t worry… I do plan on getting my females spayed as soon as they wean their litter. Kittens are cute, but they do grow up!)
Anyway, glad to be here! 😀
