Meet the two temporary (well I say temporary) editions to our family. As yet they have no names and we are not sure weather or not they will be staying with us long term.
We have set up a 'safe room' in the downstairs bathroom where they will be staying for the next few days, as we gradually introduce them to Lily, which is likely to be a difficult process; especially as they are so young, certainly not of an age, they should have been removed from their mother. Looking at them, I would say they are no more that six or seven weeks old. They will need a lot of love and care to build them up. At the moment I am concerned they are just too small to survive, but will do my best to get them fit and healthy. Darrell has just gone out to Mercadona to grab some kitten food and milk; I was told today, they need to be fed as often as they can.

These two fur babies were dumped and abandoned in my bosses garden, keeping him awake for most of the night. When I arrived at work yesterday, he explained the situation and after some delicate negotiations I decided to take them in, fostering them until homes can be found. With Lily now fifteen years old, I really didn't want to take on any more cats. I love them to bits, but they do limit your every move, as independent as they are. We are unable to go away when we want and holidays at the moment are a no no. So a foster home it is, until we can find someone to take these two characters on. We haven't been able to get close enough to find out their sex yet, but as they become more used to us, we will overcome these little difficulties.
There is a problem with stray cats in Spain and there are various charities and rescue centres set up to help. These two could have gone to such an organisation, but with Lily getting on, we thought it would be a good idea for her to have a couple of companions for a while, before they are re-homed. It is also great for the soul to do something good once in a while; if we can afford to feed this pair, then rather than burden a charity further, we can do our bit!

I have always been a bit of a soft touch where cats are concerned; yes I am definitely a feline person, having grown up with cats since I was a child. I have no idea why people do the things they do to animals, it sickens me to my stomach. If you can't afford to have a cat, please don't even bother getting one. As the saying goes, these pets are not disposable, they are for life, so please don't abuse or abandon them.

Today they are still very nervous and have spent the night cuddled up to one another. At the moment they are laying in the shower together.
I am not sure how they ended up deserted but by the look of them, they could well have been abused, which is why they are so scared at the moment. I'm sure in time, they will begin to accept and trust myself, Darrell and Lily!
