Geez, I wish I could just stumble onto a litter of kittens LOL.
My cousin had a 5 week old kitten wander into her yard and claim her. They had Kumari the kitten for a week, no one came looking for her....then the neighbors from down the street showed up (this 5 week old kitten wandered almost a full block away from home) and took it refusing to even let the 4 kids PAY for the kitten but offered them one of the others of the litter. A week later the kitten came back. In order to make it all legal, they surrendered Kumari to a local shelter, left her there for a week then went back and adopted her.
Three days later little Kumari was lethargic and dehydrated. They took her to the vet and found out that she had parvo AND leukemia. She lived for 5 days before she gave in and died. And my cousin got a refund from the shelter, and got the costs of taking her adult cat Anubis to the vet to have him checked because they discovered this poor little kitten was infected while she was in the shelter.
Needless to say her 4 kids are heartbroken.
Still wish I could stumble on a litter of kittens like that. I've got cats living in my garage but apparently they're all fixed around here. And Eric won't let me feed any of them LOL. When we have our own house (hopefully soon) I think I'm going to get a couple of new kitties. Sounds good to me! LOL.
