Rectory Kittens

April 24, 2011

handygrl90 says: My boyfriend's mother is a secretary at a church in Brooklyn, New York. The priest there has a TON of pets but couldn't help letting in this pregnant mother. She gave birth around three weeks ago and is an amazing mother. My boyfriend and I visited the kittens but didn't have a lot of time to take pictures because it was Good Friday and the priest needed to get ready for mass. I apologize that the pictures are dark but mommy set up in a dark corner of his bedroom. There are three black-and-white, two tabbies, and one all black kitten.

In case you're curious, one kitty does have crusty eyes. The priest cleaned them the night before we saw the kittens but the crustiness came back overnight. He then Googled what it could mean and was warned about the kitty going blind if it wasn't treated. We took him/her to the vet that day. S/he should be fine.

EDIT: The kittens have all been called for and Crusty is with us.

These babies are adorable and your priest is a gem for taking in their mama. I hope they all find wonderful and blessed furever homes.

Charming kitties and sweet story. Glad you took the kitty to the vet before all the kitties got eye troubles. And the priest is wonderful. I also think the black kitty is special!

Very adorable kits and it's great the priest is helping out. I will be happy to help if I can.

@eva: By help do you mean adopt? He is fine raising them now, he just needs to find forever homes.

Look at that adorable little munchkin face! I wish I could take a kitten, but alas I must wait a few months until after we move :( No fear though; I am sure they will all find homes soon!
