Michelle says: This is a selection of kitties that was fostered by my friend Denise. They are almost certainly not all from the same litter. They were all trapped, spayed or neutered, and rehomed. I didn't foster them, I just took their photos for her and helped her by creating a flyer to post and by posting them for her on Craigslist. Luckily she found homes for all seven of them.

As for where she trapped them, people sometimes "dump" kittens/cats next to the local humane society. They don't even bring them inside, they just pull up, drop them off outside, and abandon them. And then there are people who want to leave cats at the shelter, carry them in laundry baskets or whatever they can find, and the cats escape. (A laundry basket is not a very clever way to carry a kitty.) Lately the economy has added to this problem. People are moving and abandoning cats like they're leaving behind furniture. And because many haven't been spayed (cats can get pregnant very young, at three and a half to four months), all these very young female cats are getting pregnant right next to the humane society. It's a very bad situation.

Denise is among the angels who is willing to go to the trouble of trapping these feral and abandoned cats and trying to rehome them. She volunteers as part of an organized program to trap, neuter, and either rehome them or at least place them in managed cat colonies that are fed and cared for. I don't trap... I leave that to other volunteers because I'm not patient enough and it just makes me so sad when I see the momma cats out there and their kittens sick, injured, or flea-infested. But it's something that hurts when I read that people don't spay/neuter. Everyone loves a cute kitten, but not everyone realizes just how many of them are euthanized or, worse, are starving, injured, or killed out on the streets.

I agree. If everyone does what they can, kitties will be better off. The expression on these kittens is so amusing--they seem to be hearing strange sounds from outer space--wide eyes and alert ears! This photo captures both, and the different colored eyes are fascinating.

What an adorable group of kittens! You and your friend do wonderful work with these unfortunate waifs. I do wish people would learn to spay and neuter! However, I'm happy that all seven of these lovely little ones found loving homes.

I have a rescue cat that we got from Kitty Angels No-Kill Shelter in Coventry, CT. He is very sweet and has adjusted quite well with our other three cats--made himself at home in less than a week. I highly recommend to people looking for a cat/kitten, look to these shelters. These cats make wonderful friends who often are very grateful for a loving, warm home and family. Their purrs and smiles prove that. Denise and all others out there who perform these services to our cat friends, you are all truly Kitty Angels.

@fourkatz4me: You said it just right. Those who save cats are kitty angels. Our Lizzy is from the streets as well, and she is sooooooo grateful for everything. These kitties are wonderful, it is just a nice Sunday story to hear they all have found loving furever home. I wish them and Denise happy, healthy, long, lifes.

If this kitty could talk to us he'd say, "Please spay and neuter! We need you to be responsible!"

Thanks to Denise and you and all the other Kitty Angels. It breaks my heart to think of these precious creatures living a life of fear, neglect and illness when it could be avoided if all would take the responsibility of spay or neutering animals. So glad these babies found loving homes.

Completely understand the hurt you must feel, I would feel the same way. So I give money or blankets etc. to the shelter(s).

This one reminds me of my Tiny whom I lost in 2006 at the age of 18 and I still miss him every day! I have 2 cats, Trouble and Krinkle, and I foster in remembrance of my Tiny.

How sad, I can't imagine how people could leave cats and kittens to fend for themselves. I am glad there are people like you and your friend who do what they can to help. Hope all the kittens and cats found loving homes with owners who don't think of them as things to be dumped when the going gets tough.
