The babyfood worked!  And now we are on to kitten food and one even prefers baby kitten hard food.  We are still offering KMR but it is easier now that they are eating a little!  Thanks to everyone for the posts.  I'm so relieved.  It has been a longer, harder fostering than what I've done...

An update on the girls.  They are getting big and fat and adorable.  Their ears are finally up and the teeth are in.  Sadly, they have the ringworm fungus which is awful b/c we can't really snuggle with them anymore.  They are happy and play quite a bit with one another.  They are eating a lot...

Congratulations.  It's such hard work caring for them when they are so little.  I have 2 that I am still bottle feeding and I can't get them to eat food.  We aren't sure how old they are but they are just over a pound so I know they need to start eating soon.  Your baby is adorable!

Hello.  I am worried that one of the little girls have really slowed down on the formula intake.  Cocoa is fat and very happy.  Trudging right along.  Scooter is slowing down to 5mls a feeding, which is waaaay to little.  I got 15 in her by syringe last feeding and have ticked up the hours...

Oh my goodness.  I think they are even younger than I thought according to that site.  Maybe 10 days.  thank you.  The upside is, if they are that young, they are really eating great because I was basing the intake on a little older kittens.  The downside is, they are more at risk being so tiny.

Thanks for the quick responses.  I'll look at the site now. 

I am caring for 2 abandoned kittens who appear to be approximately 2-3 weeks old.  They are drinking their KMR fairly well, about 8-15 ml every feeding (6 per day), and they are gaining weight and active.  I have gotten lots of good advice and have fostered kittens before but I am particularly...
