Previous news from Sharon's...
Ariel, Amber, and Aimee all came in from animal
control at about 2/12 weeks old, and have been staying with Sharon in
Gifu. Sadly, this group's 2 other siblings, Aria, and Aaron,
didn't survive the forced separation from their mother at such a young
age, despite round the clock care. Many of the kittens coming into
animal control centers have been removed at a very young age from their
mothers, and the vast majority don't even survive to be destroyed. It's
a lot of work bottle feeding little babies, and not all of them are
always able to make it, but it's a rewarding experience. There are
always bottle babies in need of placements, if they are to survive and
be re-homed, so be sure to contact
us if you are willing to
train for this kind task.

the "A" group...
Christopher,
Carrie, and
Caylee--whose
sibling died at animal control (likely of a lack of adequate heating),
were rescued just in time. Once panicked and desperately hungry, they
are now playful and happy babies. This group
has now moved to Monique's
in Osaka.
The newest group at Sharon's is the "B" group...Brenna, Bethany, Braeden, and
Benjamin

Kittens need a lot of love and human
contact to become well socialized pets.
Bathing is necessary for keeping the
kittens clean and bacteria free, but they must be kept very warm
throughout. It's also important to keep stress to a minimum.
