Babies having babies

So we signed up as a foster for another humane society because they are so overrun with kittens right now plus they are trying to win $100,000 and need to show more community involvement....I figured we'd take in 2-3 kittens--let them play around the house until they weighed enough to be spayed and neutered and drop them off.
Easy, Peasy, happily ever after.
Humph.
We got a Momma kitty who looks to be a baby herself. She is so small and skinny and doesn't seem to have many motherly instincts. When we brought her here the kittens cried and cried and she avoided them like the plague. If one wobbles out of the nest, she just leaves it until we find it cold and tired and set it back in with the group.
This sent me into super stress mode...it was late and since we live in nowhere there wasn't any place to get kitty formula nearby... Casey made a stop at the local small grocery store and we made our own--thank heavens for the internet!
There are 8 baby kitties--some bigger than others because they added a few orphans to her litter. My goodness this momma looks like she can barely keep her own body functioning..let alone feed 8 more little ones.


Meet Momma.
She needs a name.
Here's one of the bigger babies being fed.
The little ones look weird and kinda scare me to tell you the truth...I hope there isn't something genetically wrong with them, lol.



Was trying to show how thin momma is...but you have to feel it.
She's so sweet and pretty!
She loves attention.



The babies.
