3 Cats, 2 Dogs, and 1 baby on the way...

     I may have mentioned this before, but my husband and I have a bit of soft spot for animals.  Lost and abandoned animals tend to find us, and we have a hard time not helping out (and sometimes adopting them).
     About 4 weeks ago, we discovered that a neighborhood stray cat had given birth to two little kittens in our yard.  Unfortunately, one of them was abandoned about 3-4 days after birth and died.  We knew that she still had the other little guy, so we decided to feed her every night to ensure that the other baby would survive so she could continue nursing it until it could be weaned.
     After hearing some mewing in the afternoon, but not being able to find the little kitten, we heard some very loud mewing from our kitchen window last night around 8pm.  My husband went out to investigate and discovered the little wee kitten had been abandoned in our yard.  Not wanting to take another chance that this guy could also die if we didn't take him in, we decided to rescue him.  Of course, with something so small and helpless, it's hard to not want to keep him.  So, we now have a new addition to the family - a little nameless 4 1/2 week old male kitten.
     Here's some pics for your enjoyment.
