Way ahead of you on the food front :)

How much do shelters charge for all of that stuff? 5 kittens, don't forget.

((Probably something like
In Goblin: "See, I can speak goblin!"
to keep things simple.))

Ah, I see. Good idea, especially if no-one shows interest in the fliers we put up.

Why the fuck does anyone watch the show? Hell, how is it even still on the air? Dude apparently has at least two god-tier items of Plot Device-itude that can do literally anything, not to mention he's immortal and a time traveler. There is no potential for drama unless the characters suffer ridiculous amounts of amnesia and forget all the crap they could do to solve any problem.

We found a bunch of kittens living under and behind our woodpile. Deciding that it would be better to try and find homes for them than to let them join the ranks of stray feral cats around here, we built a shelter, laid out some food and water, and spent a good hour digging them out of the woodpile and transferring them to the shelter. Now we're beginning the process of trying to get them used to humans and setting up fliers looking for adopters. We're also planning to keep one, a prospect I'm...less than enthusiastic about.

Sadly, it appears that one of the kittens is already going feral; it'll hiss at, claw, and bite anyone that tries to touch it. We're hoping it's just stress from getting caught, but if it doesn't improve soon we'll probably have to send it to a shelter to be put down.

Unless they're significantly older kittens, I really doubt that one is "going feral". It's probably just the biggest of the group, and it's stressed, afraid, confused, and possibly injured. A calm environment, gradual socialization with humans, and time will make a significant impact over the next few months of development. It's possible that it might still end up being a grumpy cat, but I know people who love grumpy cats, so don't give up yet.

Were you planning on finding them homes directly, or bringing them to a shelter? Since they're wild-born, odds are they have picked up a parasite or two, so the regular regiment of shots are in order. I'd advise getting them to a no-kill shelter ASAP, where they'll be given medical care and human socialization. It's their best chance for adoption.
We're not gonna be keeping them for "months". They appear to be weaned already, or at least capable of eating solid food, but taking care of five kittens on top of our older dog who's not appreciative of other animals is going to be a bit of a strain. We're hoping to find homes in a week, possibly two.

Not sure if there's a no-kill shelter in the area. It'd probably be a good idea though.

"Half-elf, actually. Easy mistake to make. And I'm here because a little birdie told me to be here."

Weston grins and leans back in his chair.

"I mean that in the figurative sense, of course. I haven't actually met any talking birds. However, I am a little surprised you managed to detect my powers; I figured throwing the glass of water would be the perfect cover."

And at the end (whether by victory or utter defeat), we can see who's died the least! Brilliant!

Charlotte's still a critlady. Alexander's still a tank. What sort of cross-universe shenanigans is this?

You should give Derick a stun probe (or whatever it's called) and see if he's still capable of one-shotting aliens in melee.

I dunno. Plasma cloud cowboys are pretty cool as well.
