Notes on the kittens


These adorable kittens were found under my car a week before Thanksgiving, and sadly they're too old for our vet to take in for adoption.

All of these kittens are between 16-24 weeks old and are housebroken. Or whatever word you use to indicate that they use the cat-box, rather than the floor, for a bathroom. Our vet at Lilburn Animal Hospital checked them over and apparently their adult canine teeth are coming through, which confirms the age.

They are all female, and have healthy weights between 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 pounds, and are up to date with flea treatment.

In the next few months, they will need to have feline leukemia tests and they'll need to be spayed, along with getting all their vaccinations.

When we found them they all had ear mites quite badly, but we're treating them for that and they're improving.
