Wonderful news! We are keeping the grey tabby and all the other kitties have homes.  In fact they are going to them tonight.  The shelter said that since we have had them so long that there will not be an adoption fee for any of them!  The homes they are going to are wonderful, they will be...

So far the other kittens are doing well.  Wolfie's left eye has some drainage but I am on top of the with medicated eye drops and oral antibiotics.  She already looks better than yesterday. I woke up last night at 1am and started downstairs to feed Runt Runt.  Then I remembered she was gone.  I...

Sadly Sweet little Runt Runt was sent to the rainbow bridge today.  She had been vomitting all syringe feedings for 48 hours.  The vet said the kindest thing we could to would be to let her go.  I snuggled with her today before her appt.  The look in her eyes told me it was time, she was tired...

Since my house kitties are vaccinated against this, they can not catch it?  The way I read it was that the foster kittens would be at risk from Runt if she has it.  Am I reading that correctly? Tammy

They have not had any shots.  All of mine have had theirs and are up to date.  The shelter does not vaccinate until they are adopted.  I dont agree with that but I cant no change it.  I wonder if I ask them to vaccinate them since I am bringing them home if they would.  Cant hurt to ask right...

Good Evening! Sorry I have not posted in awhile...life gets going fast! Anyway.  We took Runt runt to the vet because she just was not getting any better.  He started her on Clavamox and different eye drops.  She was up to 10 ounces on 10/1/15.  Eating, running and playing finally!  (Let me...

At what age do they get weaned from the mama kitty?  All of them except for Runt Runt dont want the bottle much anymore.  Maybe once or twice in 24hours.  They are eating both the gruel and the hart kitten food.  They wont touch the hard kitten food if I soften it.  So I have put a handful in a...

Good Evening Everyone, I have been having so much fun with the kittens I forgot to post! Runt Runt (hubbys nickname for her) is up to 8 and 5/8 ounces.  She will sometimes try to eat the kitten gruel but loves her bottle.  She is out and about in the dinning room with the other kittens and...

Good Evening Everyone, The runt is up to 6 and 2/4 ounces.  She eats, plays and is generally just way too cute!  she is almost litter trained but has accidents when she is outside her nest.  I think it is because she can find her litter box.  she is still very little.  Boy oh boy...she likes to...

Good Evening Everyone, What a day!  All the kittens except the runt are turning their noses up to the bottle almost all the time.  They prefer to eat the gruel that I make.  Today I put in hard kitten food mixed with kitten milk to soften it up.  They are curious and have had a few bites but...

Good Afternoon, The little runt is doing well today.  She is eating a half ounce at each feeding now.  I got a bottle with more exact measurments on it.  I also found a nipple that she likes better.  I weighed her this morning and she is up to 6 ounces.  I did it three times to make sure! All...

Oh my word!  The runt was yelling and not for food! She wanted out of her nest.  I put her on the living room floor and she just ran around and sniffed everything.  After that she had a small coughing spell and some more snot came out of her nose.  I figure it is the same as with people. ...

Good Evening, Well all the kittens gained weight except for the runt.   She is back down to 5 7/8 ounces.  I came home from work today and she had pooped in her nest.  She was hungry!!!  Ate really well tonight and played with my hair.  Her little tail and legs were crusty so she got a bath and...

Good Evening Everyone, I have the weights on the kittens.  This litter is 4 weeks old. The grey tabby is 16.5 ounces.  She is a bully!  She is so cute though =) The black tabby is 13 5/8 ounces.  She is from the same litter as the grey tabby.  Boy they both like to eat..no struggles with the...

Nope I have two different bottles that I keep separate as well as cloths and sleeping material. I wash their bedding in the sanitizing cycle and change them daily and more often as needed. I hope I am doing this right!
