Kittens, 9 days old.
We took in three kittens, all siblings and around 4 months old. One turned out to be pregnant. We got the other two siblings (Clyde/female and Bud/male will) spayed and neutered. The new mommy will go asap.
Her name is Skeeter and she's a good mommy - especially for one so young. I bought formula and bottles for the just in case, but she has really embraced the role.
Black cats are hard to adopt out, so we will probably keep them. People can be stupid and cruel about black cats. Most likely will keep the gray one too.

Two were long haired and they all were so beautiful!!! 
One I adopted when my uncle died, one must have gotten away from a neighbor when she moved and the last one and only kitten I found in a supermarket parking lot one night on my way home. He was extremely difficult to catch, I don't think I could have done it without the help of a guy who worked in the store and his wife who'd come to pick him up, they were great! And my vet told me he was only about 7 weeks old... and he grew up to be one beautiful cat!
He even liked the lab rat I brought home from my Experimental Psych course in college - he was a very smart rat and I couldn't bear to see him turned over to the biology lab. And growing up I also had a pet mouse - Franklin D. Roosevelt - Frank for short - and when I went away to summer camp my grandmother mouse-sat for me, she gave him a blueberry every morning when she had her cereal and took the cutest picture for me. 
So my cats were rescue, too, my cousin called me in tears after my uncle died since he had two dogs and two cats and her husband (at the time) wouldn't let her have the cats since they already had three. And my uncle's unpleasant second wife was just going to drop them off at some shelter. So I was happy to take them, and she drove from her home in Connecticut to my uncle's in New Jersey and brought them home to me in Northern New York. They got along fine with my two dogs, especially the black one who is still the smartest and friendliest cat I've ever known, besides being one beautiful cat.
Barnaby, my rat, was very smart as I said. I needed to pick a "B" name for him since he got me a B in a pretty tough course. When the class had to choose their rats, I picked the calmest one and it certainly paid off for both of us. All I had to do was teach him to press a certain lever three times to get a drink, nothing abusive.
the science teacher had a white mouse in the classroom we named Felicia. Every time we went to class we took her out and passed her around. We would also put her in our desks and sometimes just at the wrong moment she would stick her head up the old inkwell hole on the desk right when he was looking. Whoops - back to her cage.
Over the years we had dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, a snake, a frog, and a baby crow nursed back to health who loved my mother (besides food she gave him shiny things) and he loved to sit on her head.
Like you I think my mother never knew what I might bring home. Love your stories!!
Ty for helping them! I'm glad you're planning to keep them! The Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways... lol
Looking forward to more pix as the kits mature.
Ty for sharing your joy!
Yes, I know the feeling. The CDS definitely has my name too! 
Enjoy your new family members! 
Poor mom, so young to be having kittens.
Thank you for taking them in and caring for them! I would love to take the black ones but the restrictions at my current living place won't let me have a cat unless they've been mutilated by declawing. I'll go to the rescue and see if I can find some poor baby with that affliction later this year.
Looked it up, kittens CAN get pregnant as young as 4 months old.
I feel so sorry for your little one. I'm glad she has you to care for her. Let us know how the young kitty does.
I recently adopted 2 cats; a Black and an Orange Tabby, They both are between 5-6 years and are the most loving cats I have ever had.
All the best to you and your new Cat Family.
