I tried to reply yesterday but ran into a few problems, so I just wanted to go a little bit more into detail now. I am not a breeder at all, just an animal lover that took these two in after being dumped and left to die in a box in a dumpster behind a shopping mall. they were dropped off at my vet by some stranger and she approached me. I had fostered cats in the past and lost two of my mixed breeds the previous year due to old age. After fostering the already altered male and pregnant female for six weeks, I couldn't part with them. You can say that I was too emotionally attached and had fallen in love. Shortly after our family grew to six more, including the " blues" and I had no clue about coloring, so I did some searching. So here I am. Long story short. its is day four after birth, dews are gone since yesterday for safety, tail are staying! Vet said they are thriving. So lets wait and hope for the best. Mom and pups will be spayed and neutered.
