Well, the kittens were well loved by all the nice folks working at ARDDA. Dr. Kutrybala checked everyone out, giving them all a clean bill of health. Stool samples for worms were negative, as was Minerva's bloodtest for Feline Leukemia. The kittens got their first round of distemper shots and a preventative dewormer medication. Minerva got her first rabies and distemper shots.
For those of you taking kittens, I have certificates they printed up stating that they received the IFCVRC shots, with it written in that Mom was FELV/FIV negative, and that they were wormed with Strongid for your vets.
The thing that floored me in the car on the way home was the typo on the certificates. I kept thinking of Lilo&Stitch... In two places they typed aminal rather than animal. I couldn't help but giggle.
On a side note:
You're a vinyl/fetish corset. Grrrrowl.

I lost one of my cats to FIV a long time ago, it still hurts to think about it :(

But the one that died of FIV was about 10 years ago, and was one I had brought up from a kitten, she was about 3 years old when she caught it and just stopped eating, the vets were crap and only told us about FIV on the last visit when she was really thin and ill, they just sort of said 'she's going to die, you maight as well have her put down'

Our mama kitty, Minerva, showed up out of the blue late last November. She waltzed right in as if she owned the place. Within a month it became obvious that she came fully loaded. January 25, we were blessed to be there and assist when she gave birth to six kittens. Three of them will be staying with us and three of them will be going to friends of ours.
Raising a cat from a kitten is a beautiful thing.
I consider myself dually blessed, first to be chosen by Minerva, and again to have the priviledge of witnessing the birth of and raising her kittens.

We also have four mice and two rats. Quite a managerie for now!

She was gearing up to give them away to friends or advertise in the paper!
I persuaded my sister (also a cat lover, already whith 5 cats) to take one and my mum & dad (who had 2 cats) to take the other.
Both cats are now fat and very happy, the one with my sister has 5 girls to keep him company (they are all spayed and he is nuetered) and gets on with all but one of them, the one with my parents has a dominant female an a young male to contend with, but seems to have found his place.
I was unable to have them (I would have loved to) as I a) Have a no pets rule on the flat I live in and b)Live on a main road, so cat life would be measured in minutes not years.
