Yes my small premie that weighed only 2.0 oz. purred for me the last few days of his life. It was one of the most wonderful sounds from something so small I have ever heard. Mark

Thank You all for the kind words and thoughts. It was a sad day for us both. I have not hurt this much in a long time. I am thankful however for the time I had with the little guy. He really made me think about allot of things in life a little differently. I will continue to come here and share...

Well the time came PeeWee held on until 9:30 tonight. He was a fighter for sure, but in the end we lost. I loved the little one like a child of my own and so did the wife. Thank You all for your prayers and support. This surely is a sad chapter in my life. I am sorry but I cannot really type to...

Well I have given this little premie everything I could in the past 10 days . But I am saddened to say I think any minute now he will be lost forever. I have never got this close to a animal. He was doing so well until yesterday morning and we took him to the vet and he said he was fine. I knew...

Well he has been so lively until today... I mean the little booger was a handful just to hold always suckling. Now today he is just eating and almost lifeless. I tell you I have just got to attached after the past 9 days. I really cannot handle losing the small miracle. I hope its just a stage...

Well I noticed this early morning when feeding PeeWee was not as active as usual. The wife took him to the vet soon as they opened and the vet said he looked fine,(also he became more active again) and we were doing everything correctly. Well this afternoon he is very lifeless again, if he...

Well as you can tell from my previous post the little miracle is doing pretty good. Since finally it has taken to a eyedropper for feeding and I do not have to tube feed it seems to want more than whats recommended for a 2.4 oz. kitten. If I have it calculated right it needs 1 oz. of formula per...

Thanks for all the rplies and good wishes. Today PeeWee turned one week old. It only weighs 2.35 ounces which is up from the 1.8 oz as of this past tuesday. The most amazing thing happened today though. Finally got him to take some formula with a eye dropper And he started...

Well the little booger sure is a handful to be so small He has gained up to 2.2 oz. as of this morning. So he is slowly gaining. He looks healthy if activity shows signs of that. I do need you guys to advise me on whether I am feeding enough or should I be doing anything different. Also what...

Yeah we have tried 4 or 5 different nipples and no good so far. I do not mind the tube feeding until it gets able to take the bottle. I just want to make sure I give enough and get the weight up. It had three bowel movements yesterday but very small ones, so that part looks better. Now just to...

Yeah I tried to find someone in the area to help and was unsuccesful. I really do not mind taking care of the kitten but I just want to make sure I do it right. I just cannot believ how small it is and also how squirmish it can be when feeding. For something so small it sure has the energy. Mark

On Sat. July the 9th morning I discovered under my truck 5 newborn kittens. They were abdoned by the mother cat. (I did place them in a box in the same area so the mom could come to them but she never did that day). They were very small and chilled when I got them. I took them and warmed them...
