Back in Charlotte since Saturday. Went to check in on the kitties and only saw Mama Cat and one gray kitten. Don't know where the other three went - I suspect we know what really happened, but I'd like to think they set off on their own to seek their kitty fortunes.
Mama looked pretty forelorn and frail. No doubt she's been struggling to keep herself fed, much less the babies - and I'm sure it hasn't been easy defending against all the wildlife that lives around us. When we only saw one kitten, we felt so sorry for her we brought her a can of tuna and some milk and water. She devoured the tuna right away. Even her kitten got in on some tuna action. It was really pitiful and I felt so bad for having left her to her own devices that I finally gave in a bought her a food dish and some Cat Chow. They both took to the bowls and food right away. Bless their sweet little hearts.
I hope she's found some peace now that she doesn't have to go looking for food anymore.

Oh my gosh you're killing me!! Thank goodness you gave these poor babies some water/food...
Awww...so cute, and so kind of you. I hate thinking of little animals foraging for food like that.
They say the crappy economy is tough on animals, and that lots of people are abandoning their animals in shelters,etc. So sad.
Can you permanently adopt them, or is that hard with living on the boat?
