Louie, Plato, & Aristotle
Baby pictures from August 2022
In early August, Louie and her five kittens, about two weeks old, were brought to the Four Paws Pet Adoption Center; a kind community member had been trying to care for them, but their landlord wouldn’t allow it. We put out a frantic call for fosters and found one right away: a local family in need of some soothing after the loss of their beloved family cat. The little family was taken to Idaho Falls, where they spent several weeks growing. Momma was named Louie, and we knew she needed to have surgery on her injured eye, but that it had to wait until she stopped nursing and could be spayed.
When the kittens weaned and reached that crucial 2-pound mark, we took the whole batch in to get their surgeries taken care of. Shortly after this, we lost two of the orange kittens to an unknown illness. As sad as it is, that’s common in our work. We’ve seen statistics that 8% of kittens simply don’t survive, a condition known as “Fading Kitten Syndrome”.
The remaining cats were moved to a new foster located in Rexburg, where they are now! The lone girl kitten, a tabby, was adopted already, but Louie and two of her sons are available and ready to come home with you! Bios and photos were provided by their fosters. If you want to meet them and consider adoption, please contact us!
