Momma Cat and the 5 remaining boys were spayed and neutered on Friday, June 6th. Everyone is recovering well, and they all have a short green line tattooed on their bellies to let anyone in the future know they have been spayed and neutered.
3 of the 14 have gone to their new homes. Two of the kittens were vaccinated on May 30 and had a very scary over-response of their immune systems, developing high fevers and painful joint inflammation. Their family took good care of them, and they are getting back to their hilarious antics.
I decided to go ahead and get everyone else vaccinated on my watch, so 10 days later (June 9) the remaining 11 kittens were vaccinated. I'll be keeping track of their temperatures (not much fun for me or the kittens) and be prepared to follow up with medication if necessary.
If all goes well this week, several kittens will be going to their new homes, and all of the remaining girls will be spayed. Most of the kittens are 2 lbs. or more; the littlest was 1.8 at the vet's office Monday, June 9.
