I got these 2 orange kittens because someone dumped them they followed my parents home from their walk down our road named them Orion and Garfield.

I have an orange boy too, he showed up at our house on Thanksgiving day 2016 and is my special guy:

Thank you Cavey!đź’—
We have something similar here. I've had others fixed. It's very hard to get appointments, they are months out. Just having this girl come to us pregnant overwhelmed me a bit.

This little girl was starving when we caught her and her brother. He was too sick and didn't make it.

We have a Pip too (named after the white dots on dominoes):

We're getting ready to go camping. Just doing some chores.

Filled the chicken feeders. These hold very close to 50lbs of feed.

The girls have had grapes and now they are enjoying some watermelon.

The corn and sunflowers are getting very tall. I think we will be able to enjoy some corn when we get home.

After Astrid laid her initial 4 eggs she didn't lay another until yesterday and I missed it or she laid it this morning. I'm slightly concerned, it was soft shelled and broken. Hopefully she doesn't have reproduction issues, but I'm thinking it's probably because she's still so young.
 
I'll keep her, she's a sweetheart, but I can't keep all of the kittens. I hope I can find homes for them or a shelter will take them. There are so many feral cats out here, it's heartbreaking. đź’”
Look up rescue groups in your area… Facebook is a great way to find some… if you tell them you are willing to keep the mom then they will be more inclined to take the babies!

That's a great idea, thank you.đź’—
I will try that. I will also ask at the place where we get the cats spayed & neutered. They might have some suggestions.
