Kittens available for adoption

hi danzbuddies,

we are helping to take care of 3 surviving kittens out of a litter of 5 which were born on early morning hours of Friday October 29.........

The mummy cat is 'Mimi' , a first-time mother which seems so helpless in caring for her babies.....one was crushed to death on the first day and another died the next day.

The remaining kittens are adorable and comes in 3 different colours......the first-born and biggest of the lot is 'Ginger', next is a pure white one, 'Snowy' and last of all is one with a bit of 'siamese' pattern. Ginger is male and the others female.

Any one interested to adopt any one or two or all the three kittens, please let us know - 'first come first served' basis - they should be ready to go to a new home end of next week.....
