All Three Momma’s are now in foster care.  Thanks Darlene, for taking in Treasure and her trove of 4 also. The other mom and family are now with us. A huge thank you to NTCR volunteer Darlene for taking in five new tenants.  She’s giving extra care to Momma Wonder and her four babies […]

Mugsy who is about half the size of his six siblings is just learning how to eat wet food and is being introduced to baby kibble. He apparently is saving some for later, given that his tongue is long enough. Thoughts of fostering? Leave a message if you can help. Two more were born at […]

Tonight, Mugsy, the little runt in a litter of seven, joined his much larger sibs in being able to eat on his own.  In three days, little Mugsy has gone from direct syringe feeding of KMR (kitten milk replacement) and Recovery to licking wet food from the sides of the syringe to eating independently.     […]

Cats are monitored to ensure good health.  One tool is the scale to see if weights are heading in the right direction.  Another necessary tool, sometimes, is the syringe to make sure  proper nourishment levels are maintained.
