Mama Coco's Kittens

Mama Coco was the last of a Trap n Release project that trapped and fixed TWENTY-THREE cats over the course of two months.  She was particularly wary of the trap so by the time her rescuer managed to get her trapped, she was imminently pregnant.

She came to foster with us and had four healthy and beautiful babies; two boys and two girls. She was an amazing mama; but as a feral- we had to pull her babies from her earlier than we'd like, as they were starting to show fear of humans- and we need these little darlings to love humans so we can get them adopted into furever homes.

The day we separated them from Mama, we realized that 3 of 4 kittens had ringworm lesions, even though there were no visible spots on Mama.  Anybody who's ever dealt with ringworm knows that it's incredibly contagious, and aggravatingly difficult to get rid of.  The saving grace is that they'll be more comfortable with bathing than many kittens their age.  :)

We also realized in short order that both of the littlest kittens were pretty exclusively still nursing on Coco, so we needed to wean/syringe feed them to keep them stable and gaining weight.  As a result, we've had poo struggles and have yet to find the "Goldilocks" across all four kittens.  

With no significant medical issues, we can usually get a kitten from birth to adoption for ~$145-$165/ea.  These little ones have more medical than usual, so we're estimating $253/kitten.

We're asking for full sponsorships for the kittens at $250, and if you're technologically inclined, we'll grant you access to the kitty-cam for the remainder of the time that they're with us.  We know $250 is more than many can do right now, so we'll take any amount that gets us closer to this goal.  Thank you in advance for helping us get these little ones sponsored.
