This story is about a feral Kitten, and her first Litter.
I found her in my garage in my pet carrier. She had given Birth to 4 babies.
One died at birth or shortly there after. I closed the door to the carrier and brought them into my office where i could attempt to take care of her and the remaining 3.
3 days had passed and 2 of the remaining 3 died, one in my hands.
i was beside myself- all looked ok, they were nursing and she was attempting to be a good mom.
Little did i know that she had no milk to feed them. On chance i ran to the store and picked up infant formula and fed the last one with a Q tip until i could get to the store for a bottle.
That was indeed the answer. He gained his strength, his crying stopped and he grew.
When he got old enough, my GF, Lori, took him to his forever home.
Hes fit in nicely there- and Tess still remains a feral, altho i had since had her fixed.
The vet assured me upon examination, that Tess was dry, the baby would not of survived if i had not intervened.
I am just sorry that i had not paid more attention to had saved the remaining 2.
