Simon Domestic Shorthair Kitten Male for sale in Ocala, Florida

Simon's story
Simon is a tender soul. He has a personality a mile wide! And he is not afraid to give you all of his love! He is a playful little guy and yet so gentle. He is quiet and well mannered. He is a perfect gentleman, among kitties! And to think... he and his litter were destined to be aborted. When we met this little man's mom... she was one of many pregnant feral cats... or was she? We could sense a sweetness about her... so we took her out of the trap and she wanted to be friends. She was skeletal... except for her VERY VERY pregnant belly. Normally, in TNR work, the pregnant cats are spayed and the kittens are humanely dispatched. It is heart wrenching every time but it is a necessary evil in this field of rescue. But this momma was different. She wanted to be friends. This changed the entire scope of our rescue effort with her. We named her Valentine (she had been named previously but it was a terrible name)... and we did not take her to be spayed the following day. We set her up in a very large dog crate and she had her babies a week later. Her labor was not a smooth one. Her a babies were breech... and the last baby needed help to be delivered. That last baby passed away within a day. The remaining babies were four boys. They were having a hard time thriving. They visited the vet. Nothing was found to be wrong with them... they just were not thriving. Their mother was still skin and bones and her milk was not nourishing the babies. We began to bottle raise them. Slowly they gained strength. We finally were able to ween them and started giving them Purina Kitten chow and canned kitten food (only science diet or diamond brand). They finally started to really GROW! I now feel comfortable listing them for adoption. I know the individualized attention they will get in new homes is what they are missing.
