    Small 6 week old kittens

    This may be a silly question. I picked up a mom and 3 kittens to foster on Sunday. They were not in a good situation and weren't being feed. Mom is VERY skinny and the kittens are much smaller then my other litter of foster kittens that are also 6 weeks old. They are just as curious and...

    Advice for first time fostering a mom and newborns

    femoral head ostectomy

    Our newest kitty, Jupiter, just had femoral head ostectomy yesterday and came home this morning. He and his mom and siblings were strays that my sister-in-law has been feeding and before we could get them in Jupiter was hit by a van. Everyone has been caught and the 3 other kittens are at the...
