Yesterday I took on 4 stray kittens that a lady had brought into work. She said she had found them in her garden 2 weeks prior and had been feeding them, but no mother had returned. Initially they got lots of cuddles from staff but once I worked more closely with them they really are extremely nervous and not fond of people.
I brought them home early hours of this morning and have contained them in just one room as usual. Luckily they’re at an age where they can eat kitten food, but they are always hungry and occasionally hiss and fight each other for food despite there being plenty. They still are extremely wary of humans including me and won’t let me touch them or get very close unless I’m stationary. It’s going to take a while for me to be able to get them comfortable enough to be rehomed which initially I didn’t think would be a problem! Today, after more research, I’m going to make their space a lot smaller for them to trust me more before I allow open space. I guess food will be enough to tempt them!
Whoever takes these beautiful but fierce babies will need plenty of time to show them a lot of love, and ideally they’d need to be indoor cats, spayed and vaccinated at earliest possibility. Due to their nature I’d be interested in them going in pairs.
One male tabby is extremely scared of everything including water and has not been drinking due to this (basically anything that moves). Hopefully they will all get to learn most humans are nice! 🤍
