Hirakata City Project Update 2: Two Litters of Kittens

Here is the first update on the Hirakata City Project. (Click here to see all articles related to this project.)

Last weekend we trapped and spayed/neutered 28 cats in the park, most of them females. We are trapping in the park this Saturday and Sunday as well as some days during Golden Week.

Last Sunday 5 kittens were found at the park, abandoned in a cardboard box in the bathroom. 2 had already died when found, but 3 survived and are now thriving. They were about 2 weeks old at the time and have had to be fed by bottle at 4 hour intervals.

Monday 4 more kittens were found abandoned, one had already died. The remaining three are doing well, also on the bottle, but older than the first at about 3-4 weeks.
