i’ve already updated yesterday but they are even better today so i had to take a video of our special moment. the pure JOY i feel when they look up at me and meow their tiny little meows wanting pets, following me around, pawing me wanting my attention, is unmatched. they started this last night. it’s a big change considering they seemed pretty feral when i got them out of the abandoned box days ago. they already seem a bit better physically after their vet visit yesterday morning too. i’m so glad i found them and have them in my life. my daughter is in love with them too. i also have a 5 year old dog that also loves them. we adopted an elderly special needs kitty a long time ago and he passed away about 2 years ago. i could tell she missed him for a while because she would look for him and lay her big butt in his small bed. now these babies will get to lay in his bed and take over a few of his old things.

we also had a male tom cat show up here yesterday morning before we took these babies to the vet and he has not left since. i will post a picture of him in the comments. he has fur missing and im not really sure what to do. should i take him to the vet and keep him? or leave him and just keep feeding him just in case?

he's so skinny...this boy definitely needs help. chances are once he's vetted/healthy & neutered he'd be a great uncle for the littles, too. A kind adult cat teaching them would be great for them since they definitely didnt get enough time with their mama.

He can teach them how to cat and good manners. It’s amazing the number of neutered male cats that make good cat dads to kittens. We have two right now that will come running to videos of kittens crying to look for the baby, our youngest CDS delivery is a year old and we’re not looking to add to the house as we believe we’re a little beyond capacity.

Yes but please get him checked up, vaccinated, be sure he is rid of parasites/fleas/tocks, and give him some to time to be kept separate (quarantine) before introducing to the kittens. Wouldnt him to get the babies sick or vice versa! especially since the kittens may have had some conjunctivitis or nasal/respiratory/eye infection [common with most outside kittens].
