Kenji has kittens

 Kenji's kittens have arrived after an easy labour and fairly quick delivery on Sunday morning (17.04.2023). She has 4 beautiful babies, 1st born was a tabby girl followed by a cream/colourpoint boy, then two blue torti girls. The tabby girl gave me slight cause for concern as after an initial good start with latching on she then slipped backwards a bit (with newborns this sort of slip can very quickly become life threatening) so later that evening I gave her a bottle feed which she was very keen for. I offered her feeds every couple of hours for the next 12 hours but by the following morning she had regained her vigour and was feeding well from her mum and was far less willing to take a supplementary feed so I stopped them. She made a good weight gain in that period going from 67gms to 74gms so I am happy that she is now thriving. There is some availability for these babies so please email or phone me directly rather than using the kitten application forms if you are interested in them.  Just a few quick phone pics of the kittens, I will take some better pictures in a few days. There will be lots of quick updates on facebook if you would like to follow their progress more closely.
