Here the black,brown and grey one.
Pls help me and my kittens
I too was thinking of Zulqarnain -- I was thinking, WOW, what an example his father is setting for him! While he may not actually remember *these* kitties when he grows up, it is events and happenings like this that will imprint and shape him into a loving and resourceful person that the world needs!
Maybe he will also be reminded of the people all around the world that have written to help his dad and these small creatures -- as we all need to -- when the press and the politicians are ranting about the "threats" of other countries/people/religions!
Also, I was thinking of Kaleem's wife, that she must thank her parents and parents-in-law a thousand times, for finding her such an industrious and KIND husband!
~'spin!~
P/S/ There are LOTS of kittens in the world that do not get taken to a vet. Sure, some of them succumb to diseases and it would be better if these babies were de-wormed and got their rabies shots, but if there is no vet available, let's not pester Kaleem too much about it... Remember, there are places where *people's* health is not even cared for, much less animals' -- "gumlla" is doing his best (and doing very well, too)!
I really like the different color that the cats there have. Wish we could introduce some of that color strain into our domestic cats here.
Glad to hear they are thriving so well. I don't think I could have done such a great job. It is always touch and go when you take on babies this small.
Kind of reminds me of a baby chihuahua. LOL
Today I saw mam cat, she is looking pregnant again, I think this is the reason, why she left her kitties.
Oh poor mama kitty! Poor thing! I hope she does better this next time around so you don't have a whole new litter to take care of! But at least you have experience now! :-)
If it were at all possible it'd be great if you could wrangle her, take her to a vet and get her spayed. I know you probably wouldn't be able to and it's expensive but I just thought I'd bring it up if there was the slightest chance you'd be able to.
Windy, I think these cats are a different kind than we have here. They seem to be taller and thinner in Asia. African ansestors maybe? But I could be wrong about these in particular.
It's too bad they don't make blow darts of some kind of medicine to sterilize ferals. Wouldn't that be great? No surgery, just a dart.
In London they put birth control pills in pigeon food on top of buildings........keeps pigeons down.
Gw
Yes just a dart is better than others.
CaptMicha
For all? it is very expensive................

You meant next time these pills are best for me and my cat?
If the mama cat leave her kitties again then what will I do?
Poor Gumlla - noone expects you to take on the control of the feral cats in Pakistan.. CaptMicha was just talking of the IDEAL situation. Which doesn't actually exist even here.
I just found this thread this lunchtime and have read every post.
What a wonderful group of people have helped you Gumlla and what a wonderful job you have done. You kept them all alive and that is a hard thing to do.
And what great little pointy ears they have... and I've never seen such color as the brown/black either. The little masked black and white one is a cutie - stealing your heart too.
Have you named them yet? and are they boys or girls.? And good heavens you can hardly make a career out of this. But maybe Mommy just needed a break and will do right by this batch. Poor thing doesn't want to be pregnant all the time. ~Blooms
gumlla, if the leukemia vaccine is not available, it probably means that this terrible cate disease has not reached Pakistan (and I sincerely hope it never does).
I asked my friend Pipe, who is a Vet, and he told me the most important thing (considering Zulquarnain) is that your kitties are dewormed. Did the Vet recommend something? Once they are dewormed, they will also increase their weight.
Does your Vet have pelleted kitty-food? What did he recommend?
How much does it cost to spay/neuter a cat in Pakistan?
I know I'm asking too many questions ....... it's just that I love your kitties and want the best for them and for your family.
Please keep us posted. You are doing great!!!!
No pills for you or your cat, Kaleem!! LOL I was just pointing out how the English have dealt with over breeding animals!!
But if the kitties eat the birth-controlled pigeons, then perhaps the effects can "rub off"?
Nahhhh ;o)
GREAT job with the kitties! It's amazing what we take for granted here (easy access to veterinary care and hundreds of different pet food varieties, and in many areas of the U.S., there are clinics offering cheap immunizations, flea dips, spaying/neutering, etc.) We are blessed beyond our ability to comprehend.
Actually- We are obsessed beyond our ability to comprehend! LOL
Off to play with my Hammy.......:)
Kaleem, I think what CaptMicha meant was to try to take mama kitty in and have only her spayed, which would also take care of the next batches of kittens coming along. It sounds cruel, but in the long run it would be much better for the mama and the poor kittens that would be born if she is left to have litter after litter.

These are still name less, but soon I will post a thread in Pet forum for name, now the world is very small after internet, Memebrs are very loving and caring, I also observed one thing in west people love people and also animals, I appericiate their this quality and did this great job with the "GOLDEN MEMBERS" of Davesgarden. All are girls no boys, You know in India and Pakistan people are unhappy on the birth of girls, may mama cat left her girl kitties due to this reason.
Ursula
20US$ for one kitten, anti rabies vaccine. They recomended Boiled meat, fish ,bread and milk for the food.
Terry
Your suggestion is good, I will ask to Baa for birth-controlled pigeons , you are lucky have all the facilities for your pets.
daisyavenue
I understand your words, dont worry.
cherishlife
Thanks for the words.
That's amazing - and he's SO beautiful! It seems to me your country has a few animal lovers/rescuers, too!
Gumlla, What is a Bighorn? Is it a mountain goat? It looks like a deer, but with horns, to me, but not like the ones that eat up all our proceeds in the fields. :)
I think one of the kittens should be named DeeGee :-)
Gumlla, I'm with PvillePlanter, if you can, you should name one of your babies DG or Dee Gee, or even Dave. If you read this thread through again, and it will make sense!! DGers helped you save these babies (though all the real work was yours), and I think that's the best reason ever!
Christine
I like DeeGee too Kaleem! :-)
I suggested DeeGee instead of Dave because I think he said all the kittens were female and I figured a girl named Dave would kinda be like a boy named Sue :-)
DG could also represent "Daughter of Gumlla"... *giggle*... I like it as well, Kaleem! :)
I was looking at the black & white one's foto when I said that so I say her.
One could be Dee and one could be Gee...
I thought maybe the brown one since she is brown like soil. But the black and white one sure does have the cutest expressions.
How about "Terra" for the dark one? It fits the soil suggestion (in regard to color), yet has a larger meaning as in earth or world, I think. :)
I like it! :-)
Petunia?
