00:00We thought we were getting four to six kittens, but there were 13.
00:06We were told that a litter of kittens were just born at a barn.
00:09We usually just do TNR, but we agreed to foster this time.
00:14The lady came to drop off the kittens and brought three Amazon boxes full of kittens.
00:19In total, she found 13 on her property and two nursing mamas.
00:24Yeah.
00:26I remember thinking, how are we going to do this?
00:31But my fiance and I were committed, so we started.
00:34Hi. Hello.
00:37We both work full-time, but each day before and after work, we were spending as much time as we
00:41could with the kittens.
00:45Is this a big key stroller?
00:47Each day, we pack them up in their stroller.
00:49God, why do they look so cute?
00:52And take them out to weigh everyone and make sure that they're on track growth-wise.
00:57Wait, they're like actually doing really good.
01:00This is important to do because at this age, they're still pretty fragile,
01:03and we needed to make sure that we could take out the ones not gaining enough weight for extra feedings.
01:19You may think that we can't tell them apart, but we do.
01:22We have Sujo and Oleo.
01:23We have Pudanesca.
01:25We have Sweet Little Marinara.
01:27And of course, we have Mr. Pesto, who unfortunately has hydrocephalus, but is the biggest personality of the team.
01:33Gremolata, named because he's a gremlin.
01:35Finally, we have little Besky Mella and Amatriciana.
01:39These guys are the little rents, so they get pulled out of the group for extra formula feeds to help
01:44them catch up in their weight and size.
01:46Would I knowingly foster 13 kittens and two moms again?
01:51Again, I'm not quite sure, but honestly, having them around has been so, so much fun.
01:58Like, just having them purr in your lap for 20 seconds makes all of the cleaning that we have to
02:05do, it makes it all worth it.
