Every morning, when the kittens got old enough, we would put them out in our hay barn. We kept a board across the door so the kittens couldn't get out, but our older cats could. A couple of times the board would fall down, but we didn't worry much about it because the kittens would stay in the barn. One night, the board had fallen down & when Corbin went out to bring them inside for the night, he could only find four kittens. Truffles was no where in sight! We searched everywhere inside the small barn and outside & had almost given up when Mom saw a white something back behind a board. We thought that it looked like feathers, but pulled it out anyways & it was our kitten. Our dog had given her a bath with his tongue & we thought that she wouldn't make it because of her being wet and cold. Mom warmed some towels in the oven and wrapped her up in them. She gradully warmed up and survived! We found good homes for all of the kittens. Raising kittens is something that I would like to do again if I ever find kittens in need.
