I want to see pictures of you newborns to see around what size they are when they are so little because we have a 11 day old kitten that was orphaned.

Is this Chance that you are talking about? It's very difficult to compare development just using pictures. A better guide is the weight chart on the Kitten Rescue web site that I gave you (www.kitten-rescue.com) He should be gaining between 10 and 20 grams a day.

Kitten Weight

At birth, weight should be approx 3-3.4 ounces.

At age 1 week weight should be approx. 4 ounces.

At age 2 weeks, weight should be approx. 7 ounces.

At age 3 weeks, weight should be approx. 10 ounces.

At age 4 weeks weight should be approx. 13 ounces.

At age 5 weeks, weight should be approximately 1 pound.

By the end of the 8th week, kittens should weigh approximately 2.2 pounds.
