There are two more kittens!! I knew there was a black-and-white kitten at the dump!

I told the guy who works at the dump that I would be by today, just to check to make sure there were no more kittens. We were ready to go food shopping after we stopped. I really was not expecting to pull in and see another kitten next to the dumpster!!! Wow. I got out and both guys who were working there today were waiting for me! One said again he was worried I wasn't going to show up. Well, as I told him, I always come back. They told me there were two kittens and one had just run under the fence and into the field next door. I wrangled this little one and put him in my trap with some food. I looked under every dumpster and I walked all along the edge of the field, and even walked into the woods. I didn't see the other kitten. I promised someone I would pick something up tomorrow, but I will have to be quick about it so I can go back to the dump. This kitten is smaller than the other two! That means there are two litters. I talked to another guy who is friends with the guy who lives across the street, at the house with the cats on the lawn. He said he had heard kittens under one of the dumpsters a week ago, and I told him I had those. He thought they may have come from cats at his friend's house. The big orange cat we saw the last time does in fact live across the street and belongs to his friend, thank goodness, along with the adult black-and-white cats we saw. The cats are not fixed. I asked him to please ask his friend across the street to contact the local animal shelter and ask about their TNR (trap/neuter/return) program. I have been told by two people that they offer assistance, and I saw on their monthly summary they made public, that they did indeed have two TNR requests for the month they posted. I told him I don't know if they will come out to help, or if his friend would have to get his cats to the shelter for their spays and neuters, and I didn't know if it is free, but if not, it should be cheap. Last I heard, they had some funding to do it for free, but I don't know what the current status is. So, let's hope he will call and that he can get some help. I told his friend he won't want 100 cats on his lawn. Well, I don't know what we're in for here. I do know there is another kitten and this one only weighs 14.7 ounces! He may be 3-4 weeks old. I feel bad about kitten-napping him, but it is dangerous at the dump! He was just sitting there by himself. I am doing the best I can, watching videos on bottle feeding kittens, and giving him warm goats milk KMR kitten formula, burping him, and patting his bottom with a warm wet cotton ball so he can go to the bathroom. He is napping with Jules, and Jonah is playing with Joey. If you can help out with some funding for the vet, or some cat supplies, or a Chewy gift card, please do. We would really appreciate the help. Our links page is here with ways to help: https://ruffings.com/links Thank you so much, and thank you for stopping by.
