My husband and I adopted two kittens from a local shelter the other day. They are approximately 8-9 weeks old and have been eating dry food. The shelter told us they had been found at appx. 6 weeks and the mother rejected them. They have a furry cat bed that they loved, in fact, I believe they may think it is their mother. They knead it with their paws and lick it, as if trying to nurse. Does this mean that she stopped nursing them too early and they still need it? Should we buy the special kitten milk formula at the pet store and try to give them some? Any input is welcome. thanks a lot.
(also they have a bit of diarrhea because I think we didn't transition slowly enough from the Iams they were eating at the shelter to the Natural Balance we'd like to feed them, its slowing up now that we are feeding them only the Iams again)
Here are our new babies:
