Kittens in action! Polka looks so calm amid the chaos.
How's the kitten daycare center today?

It's really good! Looking for a surrogate kitty mom for 4 day old kittens right now. One of the companies we contacted when looking for kittens for polka needs a mama cat for these babies.

These kittens are really healthy. Far better off than kittens I'm used to. They are climbing and jumping everywhere! They're really strong and independent. Unless they're hungry. [emoji]128518[/emoji]
Is Polka a candidate? How many kittens are there? The ones you have now are ready to wean. Think she could handle round two for a few weeks? Or is that too much for you?
Isn't it wonderful to have such healthy kittens? You can really see the difference, can't you? It's striking. Makes you realize how much some of the fosters really need care.

I was going to ask you guys what you thought. Our current kittens are eating hard kitten chow and wet food. They love nursing but it's more of a comfort thing I think than a necessity.
How many 4-day old kittens are there, and are her mammaries producing well? And how is Polka feeling?
Polka only nursed them a few days. She should have plenty of milk and I don't think you need to worry about depleting her calcium levels too much.
I would think as long as Polka keeps producing milk giving her more kittens, especially that young, wouldn't hurt. It would probably keep helping her in the long run.
And are YOU up for more kittens? You juggle a lot as it is, though you do it incredibly well!

This is our mornings. Busy bodies at play while polka takes a break.
Nice! Looks like the daycare is running smoothly! Kitties are learning to climb. Busy little explorers too. I love this stage .
.
I love the scratching post in the play pen and the cat tree nearby so Polka can watch. What an awesome set up!

Our cat Dizzy is watching over them. These kittens have a few "Moms" and Polka happily shares the responsibility. Tilly is the smaller kitty below Dizzy. She's not really happy about not being the youngest anymore but she's adjusting. She tries to be nice. We call the other gray kitten Monroe because she's a beautiful, ridiculously long haired diva. She's not pictured here because she's still pouting about the kittens being out of the bedroom. Lol
Turf wars!

Yea! They'll calm down when the realize they aren't being replaced.
Kittens all looking fantastic! Proper chubby mini-cats.
If you are up to more fostering and think Polka is too, it would be working out how the older kittens could be eased off their new found mom without distress and also whether the little ones would be safe with these current chubbies calmbering about and trying to steal their milk.
