Wednesday Update.... Parker is doing extremely well! She finally pooped yesterday!!!!! Eating lots and moving around even more, cannot believe how far along she is development-wise! As for Hardison...he is doing very well :-) he is slowly gaining weight and beginning to move around more. They...

Monday Update... Little girl doing very well. Brought home Kitten #2 and he is shockingly skinny :-( took both to vet and he confirmed girl and boy. Their names are now Parker and Hardison (props to anyone who makes the connection!). Parker is doing very well, she's a tubby kitty! If no stool...

I have been washing all of her linens daily. I picked up baby blankets and washclothes, as well as a pack of kitchen washclothes, at the dollar store and have been using that for her alone. I called the emergency vet last night because I was so worried, and they said that I should continue to...

Okay awesome, I will give her another bath tonight or tomorrow morning to ensure that all fleas are off! I will also dilute her formula, thanks for the advice! 

Thank you so much for all of your advice! Right now we are guessing that the kitten is a girl, so I will be referring to the kitten as "she". She is doing very well; within 36 hours of bringing her home she went from a lethargic, quiet, low muscle-toned little thing to a loud, wiggly, thriving...

Anyway, another update today. When the owner arrived, she informed us that Kitten #4 passed yesterday </3 We expected it to happen, but it still just breaks my heart. She felt awful and kept saying that we should have taken #4 yesterday, but we know that would probably not have made a...

I also wanted to add that there is nowhere quiet in the barn for all of them to be, I've looked all over the place and there's nothing :-/ The barn owner is such a nice lady and means well, but just doesn't know enough about kittens. I cannot risk getting in an argument with her because I work...

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update...  We went to the barn planning on taking all 4 kittens this morning and, if the barn owner let us, the mama. When we got there, we checked them out and we could only find Kitten #'s 1, 2 and 3. Short of tearing the cage apart, #4 was no where to be...

Okay thank you! I sent you a rather lengthy message haha thank you so much for all of your help!! 

Thank you so much for all of your information! I will definitely pm you with specific questions!! I will keep everyone updated as to how they are doing! Thank you for all of your concern! 

I have discussed this with my mom and we agreed that we are not comfortable introducing the mother into our house. We have three males, two of whom are neutered and another who is too young yet. The mother is completely feral and aggressive when threatened, and is not up-to-date on her shots...

Okay, thank you so much! I will keep you updated :) 

Also, they will be fed every two hours throughout the night as well. Should I force them awake to feed, or let them sleep?  Plus, mama cat is eating and drinking and using the litter box so her health does not seem to be too bad. Just wanted to let you know in case this helps any!  Thank you!!! 

Thank you so much!!! I have a bit of an update, as I just got home from work. My mom and I were the first ones at the barn, and we sincerely hoped that the barn owner had moved the cage into the secluded office. We turned all the lights on and said good morning to everyone, and went right to...

They will be adopted out as indoor cats. The barn owner has good intentions, but she knows a lot more about horses than cats. The only other litter to go through that barn was sent out semi-feral because they had not been socialized. Having experience with kittens, my concern is that these...
