When your "surprise" new arrivals from Queens make you feel unnecessary. 😹

Update: Transportation has been found. 😊

We were alerted to a situation in Queens yesterday regarding two litters of kittens. Unfortunately, one kitten had already perished. To make matters worse, the kittens are in a side alley of a building that gets locked by workers and is unaccessible at times. So although we agreed to help yesterday, the gate had been locked for the night.

The finder reports that she is able to gain access today, but refuses to remove the kittens without a guarantee that they will be picked up and transported to the rescue. Thank you, Sheila Dunn Randles, for making the trip yo pick up these kittens. ❤️

Surely, I didn't need any more kittens, but this baby has stolen my heart.

A friendly stray cat started visiting a home in Riverdale recently. Although the family didn't have experience with cats, they had a soft spot for animals and brought her inside. In the early morning hours last Tuesday, this stray kitty gave birth to four babies. Unsure what to monitor for or how to proceed, they reached out to FURRR 911. While most people say that fostering nursing moms and their babies is easy because the mom does all the work, the situation still needs to be monitored closely and regularly for any changes in appetite, weight, symptoms of illness, behavior, and alertness. This means monitoring both the mom AND her kittens because things can quickly change.

All was going well with this family until 36 hours ago. Under our advice, the finder had been diligently monitoring the weights of the kittens. When she noticed that the runt of the litter had lost weight and wasn't staying latched onto mom's ni**le for very long, she contacted us. We recommended giving the runt time alone with mom every hour or two so that the bigger kittens wouldn't jostle or compete with the little one. A late Sunday afternoon reweight was promising as this simple intervention led to a small weight gain.

Unfortunately, this morning's weight revealed a further loss. With the kitten only 7 days old, any weight loss is dangerous. Although we wanted to keep the family together, we know that two consecutive days of weight loss is a huge red flag. So the difficult decision was made to intervene, and the kitten was brought to me. Since the baby just arrived, he is warming up in an incubator prior to any attempts to feed.

These little kittens are adorable, but they are also extremely fragile. Every negative change needs to be noted and addressed immediately as newborns can decline very quickly. While this baby looks clean and healthy on the surface, there could be an internal congenital defect or issue that has not shown itself yet. Here at FURRR 911, we believe in giving newborn kittens every chance to live and be loved as long as they are not in distress and still have some fight left in them. While we don't know what is causing this weight loss, we will start with bottle feeding and strictly monitor his weight. If needed, we will switch to tube feeding. This is what we do day in and day out. This is FURRR 911.

We were just asked to take in this kitten from the Bronx. The finder keeps trying to feed the baby, but has not warmed the kitten first. She reached out to her neighbor who immediately got in contact with us to ask for help.

Please always remember that newborn kittens need HEAT before they EAT!

Come on out to join us as we celebrate Mother's Day at the Hastings Flea Market. If you are out having brunch with mom, swing by to visit us. There are so many unique vendors to shop from that you might even find another gift to treat mom to on this special day.

FURRR 911 has lots of beautifully handcrafted items for sale to support our rescue. We also have kittens and cats who are currently looking for a home (and a new mom) to call their own. So get out of the house and visit the Hastings Flea Market (located in the commuter parking lot of the Hastings on Hudson Metro North train station) today. We will be here until 4 pm.

Motherhood comes in many different variations. Today, we celebrate all those out there who take the time to guide, love, nurture, and care for us, whether human or animal.

Wishing everyone a very happy Mother's Day not only today, but every day!
