I moved to the area almost two years ago and made acquaintance with the neighborhood ferals as soon as they determined I wasn't a threat. Virgil's momma was one of them, since being here she has been pregnant twice. I've seen her earlier litter grow, be taken in by neighbors, and some disappear without a trace.
During the last major freeze, I brought her in heavily pregnant afraid she would have the babies during the bad weather. She didn't, she lasted another full 4 weeks before having 5 babies.
Virgil was the only male of the litter born on March 13th. He's the most exploratory and still thinks pets are playtime. He's a sweet boy- I'd love to see him and his littermate go to the same home if possible but if not perhaps a home with folks invested enough to play with him and give him the home he deserves.
