Im just starting fostering kittens and need help lol

Hey guys, after the joy of my two kittens maggie and tiger i decided to help out the local cat rescue we have here the lady just rang me and told me she has 4 five week old kittens she needs help with for 3 weeks ..... what can i expect ??

Poo. So much poo.

Seriously though they are absolutely adorable at that age, learning how to play and be cats. You would be obliged to cuddle them to help them become socialised.

It's a pretty good start to fostering.

Yes, expect busy little kittens who need a "safe" room, toys, and who will eat frequently, sleep lots, and poop loads.

We'd love to see pictures! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Thanks guys will they start to be using the kitty litter now ?? I get them tomorrow so ill post some pics then

Yes, they should be using the litter box. Make sure you have non-clumping litter!

I only use non clumping litter as my tiger liked to try to eat the kitty litter so im all set there lol

They are her two sets lf twins i think although im lucky 1 black girl 1 black boy one white and tabby girl 1 white and tabby boy lol

They are adorable! This is my favorite age! When they are cuddly and playful! Enjoy!

They are super cuddly and prerty good eaters too....my other 10 week old kittens are looking at the door where they are looking as if to say what the hells in there mum lol

Are they eating both dry kitten chow and wet food?

Just wet food at the moment and kmr ive decided to name them after soa character as i saw another poster does this and its way easier than thinking of names lol so let me introduce


Jax (boy)


Tara (girl)


Clay (boy)


Gemma (girl)

Taking my babies to the vets tomorrow tigers eye is full of mucous and his bit in the inside of his eye is swollen amd red and salt water isnt helping im taking them both maggies has nearly gone but tigers is pretty bad.....luckily the foster babies are kept seperate and are all fine although i seem to have got a gunky eye too any ideas ??

Have you been to the vet yet? If so, what did he give you for the kittens?

You'll need to get an antibiotic ointment for your own eye from a doctor.

Yep been to vet took both kittens cat flu basically tiger is having a little trouble with his breathing and is off his food so the vet gave me antibiodics for him as well as anyibiodic ointment for their eyes maggie is 1.270 and tiger is 1.090

The antibiotics will help them a great deal. You can also run a hot shower and let it steam up the bathroom, then bring the kittens in for a few minutes. The steam helps to clear their passages for easier breathing. Do this twice a day. Offer tuna water to entice them to at least drink to stay hydrated. They need something in their systems. Hope they are better soon!

Look how much better we are on another note is it normal for a kitten to be obsessed with a particular toy? Tiger has a favourite toy that if maggie goes near it he will attack her and growls and hisses he also tries to pull it away from us (its a toy mouse tied to a rod by elastic) its funny but he goes super crazy over it lol

Wrong pic above lol oopsies

Kitten life !

So glad they are doing better! And yes, loving and protecting a special toy is normal! [emoji]128571[/emoji]

Hi guys tiger and maggie are getting heaps bigger and tiger is becoming so much more loving. I have a couple of questions. I am getting a new kitten tomorrow and im wondering how to introduce them ? Also the kittens have been pooing and weeing in places other then their litter box how can i stop them doing this. They have also started jumping up on my benches where i prepare food any ideas how to get them to stop doing that and finally tigers eye has started becoming infected again ....it came right after the antibiodics and eye ointment then it has come back ...he is also spewing some of his food up ? Any ideas what this could be im going to get him into the vets soon but im low on money
