🍫 Life is like a Box of Chocolates 🍫

These tiny kittens have been in our care for the past week after being discovered abandoned in a cardboard box in Kirkcaldy. They were cold, weak, incredibly hungry, and covered in fleas when another rescue brought them into our care.

Thankfully, our amazing foster team were already waiting on standby with the incubator prepared and ready to go. ❤️

We have 6 girls and 2 boys in the litter, and while they had a slow and worrying start, over the last week they’ve all developed fantastic appetites and have started gaining weight rapidly. They’re now thriving, full of personality, and very enthusiastic whenever milk is on offer!

We’re finding it quite funny that despite them arriving with us last Tuesday, we somehow seem to be the last ones to formally post about them 😅

Yesterday was also a huge milestone for the kittens, as they officially graduated from the incubator into a pen of their own, giving them room to properly stretch their legs, wobble around, and start exploring the world around them. It’s a really exciting stage in their development, and the next big step before they eventually move onto solid food.

To get them to this point, our volunteer foster team have been feeding them every three hours around the clock, day and night. We honestly couldn’t be prouder of the progress they’ve made in such a short space of time. ❤️

We’ve already been blown away by the love and support shown by both our local community and cat lovers further afield. As always with cases like this, we’ve received a huge number of adoption enquiries already, however these kittens are still far too young to be considered for adoption, and we will not be accepting applications at this time.

Once they are old enough, they will go through our usual adoption process.

In the meantime, if you’d like to support the Box of Chocolates, or any of the 200+ cats and kittens currently in our care - you can donate here:
