13. I started with 2 rescues, Sophie and Boudicca.

I lost Boudicca when she was about 12. Then I found Madoc's litter. Lost one but found a home for 2. I had fallen in love with Madoc's sad little face so I was at 2, again. Then Sophie died and I got Gryff to be Madoc's brother.

Then I found Arthur's litter. I absolutely fell in love with him from the moment I saw him, which was the day he was born. Originally I counted 5 but within a day or so there were only 4. At 3 weeks I had to grab the kittens because they had bad eye infections and they were all underweight. That meant lots of sleepless nights with the constant feedings but all 4 thrived. Found homes for his siblings and thought OK, I can handle 3. Then I found Carys and her siblings. Fortunately I found homes for her brother and sister. I thought I found a home for Carys but they backed out.

I now realize I can easily handle 4.

I'm trying to find an affordable TNR group to help me with the ferals so that I can enjoy the ones that are here without the added 'bonus' of finding more kittens.
