FOSTER/ADOPT: Amber the mother cat


Earlier this evening, my boyfriend's family found 1 mother cat and 4 kittens hidden in an old box that's stashed behind their living room couch. They're unable to keep them and are housing the family of 5 till suitable adopters are found.

There is 1 mother cat and 4 kittens up for adoption in total: 3 black & white and 2 tabby as shown in the photo. Genders are not confirmed yet as the kittens are only a few days old and are really fresh from the oven.

Adopters must fulfill the following criteria:
1. have a real love for cats and not just cos they're cute and furry
2. preferably have experience in owning/keeping a cat
3. provide a copy of IC, valid living address and contact number, if adoption is successful
4. to vaccinate and immunise the kittens upon adoption
5. to sterilise the kittens once they are 6 months old
5. to vaccinate, immunise and sterilise the mother cat upon adoption

*Update as at 2306hrs 30/8: I've checked the gender of the kittens and there are 3 boys and 1 girl.

**1. Update as at 5 Sep: Amber (the mother cat) has been successfully litter trained! All 4 kittens have also opened their eyes.

2. Update as at 8 Sep: My friends are unable to foster the family of 5 any longer. I am seeking for other foster homes that are willing to take them in temporarily till the kittens are old enough to be independent of their mother. Unfortunately, I've still been unable to find a suitable foster home for the cats and will need to resort to either housing them at a boarding home or at worst, to release them back onto the streets.

As a last resort, I'm seeking donations to help fund the boarding home stay, which will amount to $400/month for all 5 of them.

I'm also gathering funds to help vaccinate/sterilise/deworm the kittens/mother who do not get adopted once they have weaned off their mother. I'm unable to undertake these extra costs upon myself as I am also funding their daily requirements. Do contact me if you would like to help.

Thanks!

The kittens have grown up significantly and will soon be ready for adoption.

I haven't been able to find any adopters yet and I'm trying to avoid having to release them back onto the streets as a last resort.

All 4 kittens have been confirmed for adoption, with 2 which were collected on Saturday.

Amber hasn't found a home yet as no one has come forth for her.
