Kittens - The sons of Brian
All the kittens have gone to wonderful new homes. Thank you for your interest.
Mr. Brian Ford turned up about a year ago & gave us the privilege of feeding him twice a day. Every AM with a hiss hello, he started his day with a hearty breakfast & ended it with an equally delicious meal. 2 mths ago, he turned up sick after getting in a fight, I trapped him, took him to vet, he got snipped & we tamed him somewhat. We can pat him, & hold him as well as feed him - progress!
I canvassed the neighborhood to see if he belonged to someone (he didn't) but we found out he fathered 4 kittens across the street. One even has a bobtail just like him. My husband calls them the Sons of Brian (even tho two are girls :)...
These beautiful Kittens are clean and healthy. They will be vet checked and have their first vaccine and a microchip. We are asking for a $70 contribution to cover this.
We also want to ensure all the kittens get fixed when they get to 4 months at Great South Vets. The cost will be $29 for males, $49 for females so we require your commitment to this.
If you would like to add a little furball to the family please let me know and I can send you a questionaire. Cat's are a 15-year commitment so we ask that you think carefully before deciding.

Named after his father, Brian is grey & cream. He's a lovely boy that is active, but happy to sit next to you & be patted.

Beautiful Pixie has four white paws/legs & a sweet little bobtail~! She has the best personality &happily pings from one place to the next as fast as she can then suddenly passes out just as fast.

You of course can name the kittens as you wish :)
