Over the weekend we picked up 3 kittens. They and their mother were living at Amber's Mom's house in a crate outside, but their mother got run over by a car. Being only 8 weeks old, they aren't quite yet ready to fend for themselves even though they were outside cats. Amber and I picked up 3 of the 5 (2 are staying with Robbie to become mousers) and posted them on Craigslist to find good homes for them (no we're not keeping them, having 7 would be crazy). We've got some responses so far, so we think it'll be a fairly short stay at our house. We are keeping them in the spare bathroom for the moment away from the other cats and to help keep them safe from everything else in the house. When we brought them in we had to de-flea them and give them some de-worming medication since they were outside cats. We both thought they would shiver to death from prolonged baths we had to give them to de-flea. After warming them in some dryer-warmed towels their shivering stopped and we managed to get them fed, and setup their sleeping area and litter box. 

It'll probably be very hard to part with them, since they are so cute and playful, but we have to. Having 7 cats is just far too many.

Here's some photos taken with the iPhone (which is why it's so dang blurry). We named them but don't plan on tell the people who get them in case they want to name them something else. Rosemary is the gray, Clyde is the black and white with the black nose, and Remy is the black and white with the white nose.

They're going for the low low price of free! Get them while they last!
