I&#8217;m keeping the boy and girl (Prince and Princess Aurora) of the feral kitten group born April 20th under our house &#8230; the largest two of the kittens. I separated them right before they turned 6 weeks old because the mother cat was starting to bring dead birds to them (they had all moved into the basement a few weeks before with our slow aide in suggestion since they were born) &#038; she was absent from them for many hours a day. These two seemed the most advanced, and still are. They are very sweet, purr a lot, play with each other wonderfully, and our other cats have accepted them for the most part. At first they stayed exclusively in my bathroom, and then I let them out some, and then more. They still do spend the night in the bathroom, and parts of days, always in there if we aren&#8217;t home.<\/p>\n<p>The other kittens stay in my daughters bedroom, and the one cat we have that isn&#8217;t spayed yet (we found her outside when she was a kitten, we keep her inside) has adopted them, she nurses them (though she hasn&#8217;t had any kittens ever, or tomcat service) and does the basic mothering that a cat generally offers her kits. She&#8217;s very attached to them, and they to her. They rarely purr, but do play with each other, and are nice. My kittens are purr machines and seem very well ajusted.<\/p>\n<p>Those other 3 kittens need homes still, and we have no one that we&#8217;ve found that wants one yet, and shelters are filled up already thus far &#8230; We just can&#8217;t keep them, but do NOT want to bring them to a kill shelter, the only type that is open to receiving right now.<\/p>\n<p>My two sweeties are laying on the couch together right next to me, stretched out sleeping. I posted a picture today that&#8217;s in my PHOTOS category, that I took on May 29th when I had just separated them from their litter\/mother.
