I am fostering Lillian and her 7 Kittens for a no-kill shelter: Nine Lives Foundation [ www.nonelivesfoundation.org tel 650-368-1365] in Redwood City, CA.
This gallery chronicles the development of the little family over the first 5 weeks of the life of the kittens.
It is noteworthy, that Lillian is a very petite cat probably not yet 1 year of age and this is her 2nd litter.
She was brought tot he shelter in the middle of the night in a box left at the door.
Inside were Lillian and her 7 ~3 day old kittens and 2 3-4 month old kittens presumably from her first litter. Lillian might probably not yet be fully grown.
After the kittens are weaned, Lillian will be spayed. She and her adorable kittens will be available for adoption into a forever home.

The story of being a Foster Mom for Lillian and her 7 Kittens will appear on my blog:
