Well Meggie has taken over the house. She is weaned and uses the litter box now. I can't believe how fast she is growing. We all love her dearly even though she has turned into a terror running around and pouncing on everything and everyone. She still gives us kisses when she gets up from naps...

Thanks Katie for the links. They are very helpful. Meggie is using her litter box already! One big fear down! I started placing a dish of moistened kitten food in her new bigger box and the little stinker ate it all. She is also lapping water from a dish so it looks like the weaning is off to a...

At what age do kittens usually start going potty on their own? We have a little one we rescued and are raising who is about 4 weeks old now. We have only had her for about a week & a half and I was wondering when she wouldn't need stimulating any longer. Also when should I start offering her...

Well it has been a week and a half since Meggie was found. Everyone in the family loves her and yes the is no doubt that we are keeping her. We are still keeping her away from our cat since she is still so small. I brought in the postage scale from the studio and weighed her yesterday. She is...

I just started reading this thread and feel for the poor thing. Thank you for taking care of him. It did remind me of a dog my husband and I helped many years ago. We lived in an apartment complex when we first got married and there was a little long haired dog named Teddy that had the run of...

We finally won over my husband! He has been determined not to even look at her. Mind you, he has called from work everyday to ask how she is doing though. When he got home from work yesterday I was out in the studio feeding her. I heard the dogs barking and saw him out in the back yard with...

Meggie is now back home. Not long after I posted the last update, they called and said she finally pooed and a lot! The one tech actually held here little bottom in a bowl of warm water while she once again stimulated her. Fecal tests showed no worms of any kind. They were surprised to see that...

Just a quick update on Meggie as we have now named her. Yes, Yes, I think we are going to keep her and my daughter has named her. But of course you all knew we would keep her didn't you? She is staying the night at the vet. They haven't been able to get a fecal sample and they want to make...

My studio is very small and I am a glass artist so there is glass every where and chemicals that are not pet friendly. This is my big worry and why I need to find someone to take her. It's fine now when she will stay in a box but down the road she is going to be getting into everything and I can...

My mistake. It wasn't the ASPCA but the local town shelter. I am soooooooo sorry for blaming the wrong person. The county SPCA did give me a list of people to call but also said I should have left it and if I bring it to them they will but it to sleep.

She is taking the bottle well and doing ok otherwise. I'll let you all know what the vet says tomorrow. Well I have to go back out to the studio to give her somemore TLC. I forgot to mention how steamed I was with most of the people I talked to this morning on the phone. The worse was the man...

Just to update everyone since you all have been so kind. After spending all morning making a ton of calls to every agency, shelter and rescue, I found one woman who although she can't take in any more kittens did arrange for me to take little fur ball to her vet and will pay for all...

Very funny....This is my biggest problem. We have too many pets now and can't keep her. Now just how am I supposed to not get attached to the little fur ball? Seriously, we can't keep her so I am also going to check with some rescue groups tomorrow. I wouldn't mind fostering her until she is...

Thanks everyone. Well I am lucky to have my studio as a seperate building behind my house and that is where I am keeping her. We have a cat now in our house as well as 2 dogs and I didn't want them exposed to her without knowing if she is healthy or not. I cleaned her bottom again and a few...

My son found a week old kitten tonight that was a bit dehydrated but otherwise seemed fine if not hungry. No fleas but very dirty. The mother was no were to be found and the kitten was by the side of the road. After cleaning her up and giving here some kitten formula which she drink with a real...
