Edit- they are covered. Thank you!

They found some very small kittens at my daughter’s work in the parking lot around 11am today. Eyes aren’t open. My daughter just got there and brought bottle and kitten formula but neither one has taken any. They are moving and crying a lot right now but it’s been at least 4-5 hours since they’ve eaten. They have been outside in box for while to see if mama cat came back but nothing yet. Daughter starts shift at 4pmWorried about their blood sugar if they don’t eat soon. Can anyone help? Rescue would be great..any experienced bottle feeders would be amazing.

My sweet sleeping beauties 😴🥰😍 are the laziest bums I swear😂😂they definitely enjoy the good life. It wasn’t always good though. At one point they were all street dogs here in Houston. Abused, neglected and forgotten like so many others. They’re here today because someone saw them. Someone cared enough to follow up. Someone fostered, someone networked, someone donated. A whole village helped each one of my pack go from the mean streets to satin sheets🤩✨ I think about that often. How many people were involved in all stages of getting by babies safe and/or adopted. How grateful I am for every single person who has helped us.🙏❤️🙏❤️ I know it seems like a dream life, constantly being surrounded by chonky floofs (and it is) but some days it hard. Some days they really frustrate me. Some days it’s painfully clear that I was and am currently, completely insane to give up my easy, normal life to be in dog rescue. To trade a social life for scooping huge amounts of 💩 😅😂Some days they steal my snacks, knock over my drinks and track 💩 through my house😑. Every day they are loud and pushy and expensive..and at least two are really stinky.🤢😷😆But every day I also get the best welcome home wiggles, top tier snuggles, always warm feet, stinky sweet kisses, loyalty, fabulous conversation (if you don’t have full convos with your animals you are really missing out) and the chance to experience the purest love there is🥰 ❤️ No matter how ya cut it, im the one making out on this deal.

Today is ’s gotcha day. This little lady has come soooo far and I am soooo proud of her. She was so terrified here and since I was leaving a week later for Europe and would be gone for two months, she went straight to boarding where she further retreated into her fear, never opening up or letting her guard down💔 I knew we had to get her out of boarding but we couldn’t find rescue backing or a foster/adopter so she stayed in boarding for months. When I was finally able to bring her home to our house, I was so excited to go get her. She was unbelievably scared. She hid under a table curled herself into the smallest ball ever in hopes I wouldn’t see her. We had to pick her up to get her to the car and she was so tense and literally vibrating with fear. She pooped when I tried to touch her. She wouldn’t look at me. Once home, she was reunited with her pack mate, Freya (aka warty girl) and that seemed to help a little but she was still so scared of Seth and I. Took months before she would willingly approach me and would only do so if another of the pups were with her. Two years later, she rules this roost. 🥰 she is the leader of the pack and the boys adore her. She loves snuggling with us and gives the sweetest little kisses🥰💋She wants love and no longer hesitates to DEMAND it! Definitely still a nervous Nelly. Takes her awhile to get used to new folks and she will still flinch or run if there’s a loud noise or someone moves a little too quick for her liking but overall, she has made so much progress. She is available for adoption and will transport to lower 48 for right adopter See comments for photos of her now, no lack of confidence here❤️😂

My sweet babies are the best!🥰🥰🥰 , , , and enjoy lookin gorgeous, chillin, eatin, snugglin, snackin and snoozin😂😍🤩 Blanca (white) and Bubs (reddish brown) are still looking for their furever homes. If you or anyone you know is looking for a sweet, furry addition to their family, send them my way. Both of these babies are housebroken, know basic commands, are up to date on vaccinations and have no known health issues. Sweet as pie and smarter than the average bear!😁 Will transport for right adopter.
