I have a litter of 4 lovely kittens that came from a stray mommacat, basically a kitten herself. Amazingly, all of my many cats throughout my life have been black, white, and grey. I’ve never had a cat with stripes or any tabby pattern before. I’d just like to know how you all would classify these kittens…they all have some sort of pattern on them…none of them are solid.

I know it’s difficult to tell from the photos, but the lightest color (aside from white) on 3 of the kittens is a very light creamy orange. The kitten with the spotted belly has feet that are almost a pink or pastel coral color. I’ll answer any questions that might help to clarify the photos.

These kittens are about 5 weeks old, mommacat is only 6 lbs. teeny tiny. I don’t have the weights of the kittens but I think this is irrelevant because I’m not asking for anyone to identify the breed, just the coat patterns and colors!

I’ll number the kittens, hopefully that’ll make this a bit easier.

Thank you!

Hiii. We made it through the first month of life! It’s been a difficult journey so far, but I think we are finally in the clear, and everyone is doing ok.

Mommacat is named Cricket, and she’s tiny…she’s only about 6 lbs. and her eyes look a little goopy. I get nervous for her but I’m trying my best to keep her healthy and keep her nutrients up. A couple of the babies have crusty eyes, but I can’t afford to take them all to the vet just yet. I know kitten eyes are sensitive, so I’m watching them very carefully. I think they just have some eye discharge from being in the cat litter (it’s kitten safe, but there’s still dust).

The kittens are just about ready to wean, and mommacats patience is wearing thin lol. You can tell in some of the photos how annoyed she is. They are getting very active and are ready to play, but I can’t let them out yet because I don’t have a good way to keep them safely contained. I also don’t have any good toys or climbing towers for them, they’re currently loving the simplest of things, like cardboard boxes and baskets for climbing. I would love to provide them more.

I haven’t updated my ko-fi page or my Instagram lately, but I will do so shortly. The supply donations via my Amazon wishlist in the past have really been beyond helpful, so I’m going to post a link again and if anyone feels like donating some essentials to the kittens, I hope you can feel my gratitude! I’m not the best at expressing myself in writing, but your help really means the world to me. It’s thanks to the community of caregivers here that I’m able to care for these cats and kittens, so thank you…so much!

There’s also a pool fund on PayPal that will be used to pay for mommakitty Cricket and all 4 of her little dust bunnies to get the veterinary care they need…which is full vaccines, spay/neuter, and rabies vaccines. As much as I love having these little kittens around, I cannot keep them all…and I’m not going to adopt them out until they’ve been sterilized and vaccinated. The link to contribute can be found on my page, if you’re interested. If not, don’t worry!

I’m taking suggestions for names for the 3 kittens. The fluffy one is already named Berlioz (or Bear, for short), or at least that’s his name while he’s here at my house lol.
Still needing names are:

1. Grey tabby with white (male)

2. Grey tabby with short hair (male)

3. Grey/orange dilute tabby/torbie (female)

If you want to suggest some names!

I’ll post the wishlist link in a comment, thanks for your time…I hope you are all doing well!
