I got 4 foster kittens for Christmas. There is another striped one, but I think it's under the bed right now. Cute little fluffballs, Mom disappeared & the family didn't really want them, foster is full up so I've got the kits for now. Still kind of shy & wondering where the heck they are, but Button has been loving on them so they are settling down ok.

I love looking at any brown-stripe tabby kittens. My favorite color cat, even more than my Rusty (orange tabby). I'll take the one on the left!

No names yet, there is a boy striped & a girl striped, a boy gray & a girl gray.
Button is ecstatic, she is happiest when she has kits to love on & boss around.
Thankfully they use the litterbox, well, most of the time anyway. And they are eating dry so no bottles this time around.

YAY Kittens..need more pictures. I have been watching the Great Danes puppies grow up and my Stinky Bird is addicted to watching them too. He sits on keyboard and watches them. Now he has kittens to look at too lol.

I haven't been watching Great Dane pups did they move them into the main house? I see there's a new expectant mom or at least there was when I looked several days back. Off to take a peek. Awwww, I see Audrey's, pups they're SO BIG. Wow

They are in the kitchen nursery. They just had a date weekend with a female in heat and Walter (I think), it was his first birthday, lol. Pups are expected around Valentine's Day. They have had I think 4 matched with their service person. It is a little dark but here is Stinky watching the puppies, he will sit for hours, funny little bird.

Willy has been my favorite since the moment that I saw him, he's so darn cute. Maybe it's because he's the only one that I could pick out in the crowd. He's getting a bunch of love from someone right now, he's lavishing in it

That is "Terrific Tom", he does a lot of work for the whole operation and he is so loving with the dogs/puppies/donkeys & the mule. I have been following them since you posted and reading all the comments. I found it so relaxing when I was going thru a super stressful time just to sit and watch all the animals being so well taken care of and seem so happy. I would like to go visit the whole operation some day, coincidently I found that a portion of my family is from Ipswich which is where they are located and my 7th great grandfathers house is a landmark there. DH and I might make a trip out of it once the weather clears in the spring.

That sounds fantastic! I haven't followed the donkey's, I need to spend more time keeping up with everything they do.

I love Willie and Vance is the only other male. The mother dog Audrey went home to Ohio and she took the first born puppy, Amethyst with her. You can follow their adventures on Facebook. www.facebook.com/AdventuresofAudrey/

One of the mini donkeys is getting ready to have a baby at some point soon, she was a rescue and was pregnant when she got there so they don't know exactly when to expect the baby. That is the closest to the camera in the Donkey barn.

They look like good sized kits. Maybe 6 or 7 weeks old. How much do they weigh?

That is the closest to the camera in the Donkey barn. Thanks for the updates, I was really out of the loop! I didn't even notice they were minus one. Checked out the Facebook page, looks like Audrey has her paws full with Amethyst and I love Audrey's hot pink nail polish... lol

6 weeks would be about right. I haven't weighed them yet, they have been too bouncy. I did notice that the stripey boy has crossed eyes, too cute!

Are you sure the other stripey was under the bed? I'm looking at that stripey arm around the grey kitten and thinking it doesn't seem to fit on the stripey we can see.

Kritter - while on the subject of brown striped kittens - I tried so hard to find Tucker's pic here on the board the other day. I wanted to show it to DH, but couldn't find it despite repeated searches. Do you remember what thread the pic was in? I must have looked at his pic a hundred times that week you posted it! Then I just lost track of it as the threads move so fast.
I did post on the thread he was in but it got moved to the Dandelion thread, cause I mentioned her, so I can't find it that way.
You ladies do such hard good work for these kitties.

Shirley U Geste, I swear the grey in the front could be Puff's long haired, less evil looking brother.

Yep, just looking at them puts my guess at 6 weeks. I guess that is what a bunch of kitten exposure does for you.
We are out of kitten season here. Even the Humane Society doesn't have any kittens up for adoption so that is a major indication that small kittens are scarce.
