That is brilliant news that they are still alive. I am continuing to pray for the kittens and you and your wife. May you and your wife continue to have energy to care for them. I have just remember two other cats who were hand reared by friends. Oscar and Tigger two huge tabby cats, the two softest most loving cats I have ever met. The mother cat either rejected them or couldn't feed them. They were amazing cats. Many years ago I cat sat them while their owners went on holiday
