This is fantastic! They are all 3 doing just fine now! Kittens usually begin to grow faster when they wean to wet food and dry food. At this age they need the dry food all the time and the wet food about 4 times a day. Keep up the nice work! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

They will be going to their new homes in 2 weeks (all but one [emoji]128521[/emoji] )
Although mumma cat is still feeding 2 of them, so I'm not sure what to do there....

Beautiful kittens! [emoji]128149[/emoji]

Even the two who are still nursing will be old enough to leave. I would not be surprised if they all still nurse mom at night. Kittens will nurse as long as mom lets them. Mom can be spayed any time now.

Yea no worries about the weaning. Sometimes mom will let them drink for months even though its not a necessity anymore. Which one are you guys keeping?

Oh this makes me feel better. I was worried because they still nurse. Poor mama will be heartbroken when the 2 leave.
Sarthur2 she was spayed during her Caesarean. Thank goodness!
We are keeping the Tiger ginger kitty

So all set now, just desexing to go which is already all booked in for them all.

<3 Take comfort in the fact that you have given these kittens the best start in life they could ever possibly have!!!

You've done a great job with them. Mama will miss her babies for 2-3 days, but having one still with her will help. How old are the kittens now?
