Well, I guess I'll start at the beginning, first let me apoligize in advance, its kind of a long story.
So my daughter will turn 5 in two days, and for at least 2 years she was wanted a kitten, so we recently moved back to my hometown, after living in texas for over 2 years, and we are now in a part of our lives that we are ready to have a kitten. So yesterday was adopt a pet at PetsMart, so we went and the only kitten available to adopt wouldn't be ready till next weekend. So we checked the newspaper and there were a few listings for free kittens, so I made many calls, left messages and finally, well only after about 30 minutes a woman called back. She said she had 1 kitten left from the litter and we could go get her, so we did. Well we bought all the stuff a kitten needs, the kind of food she was already eating, meow mix, litter box, toys, etc. And when we brought her to her new home my daughter wanted to hold her, I said it was ok, with supervision of course, but to soon put her down so she could get use to her new home and let her wonder around. Well she hid behind the fridge and I noticed there was a hole in the wall, I guess so you can get to the plumbing to the bathtub. So we waited for her to come out on her own. My cousin and her bf were there and she went walk around outside and found the kitten in the bushes outside, but her flea collar wasn't on, we figured she lost in when she was roaming in the walls. So 4 adults and 1 child are chasing this kitten for at least 2 hours, its starting to rain, and we are all getting filthy, we have a huge ditch behind the neighbors house, she ran through it and under the fence across the way. We officially lost her. Well just at that moment another lady calls back asking if we still needed a kitten
So after talking to family, friends, my daughter, and fiancee we decided to try this again, we covered the hole, made sure there were no more and went to get the 2nd kitten. I told the very nice lady this whole story while hailee, my daughter was trying to decide which one to get, and the ladys husband recommended we get 2, sisters from the same litter so they would have a companion and it would be better all around. So we did. These kittens are a little older, and bigger than the 1st kitten.
When we brought them home 1 just really liked me, sat on the couch with me and the other let my daughter and her 2 friends carry her around like a baby, played and was perfect for her, we names her hannah, and the one who liked me miley. Like hannah montaana. So after a long day the 2 kittens fell asleep together on the couch, THEN I heard a little "meow, meow".
Miley and hannah are asleep, the 1st kitten is back? So removed the fridge again, unblocked the whole and tried luring her out, she came out finally. We repatched the hole and now we have 3 kittens.
When we woke up this morning the litter box had been used, some of the food had been eaten and water, great!
Well here comes the problem, the 2 sister kittens and the 1st kitten hiss at each other and now they are all hiding, even the sisters seem not to want to have anything to do with us.
So what should I do?
Any suggestions? I'm considering finding a home for the 1st kitten, whom we have named Heidi, since she hides so much. But I'm really not sure where to go from here. PLEASE HELP
