Foster kittens at three weeks

[grogs]

Here are Zeus and Apollo, our two foster kittens, at 3 weeks of age. They're doing very well. We gave hem a bath a couple of days ago and got rid of the worst of the fleas. The tetracycline cream has cleared up the conjunctivitis from their eyes. They're also reaching the point where they will lap a little bit of milk from a saucer now instead of always having to be bottle fed. I have to remind Susan to try the saucer every time, though. I think she would bottle feed these guys until they're 10 years old if she could.

They also used a litter pan for the first time last night. I don't think they're ready to use it on their own unsupervised, but it's probably not far off.

Here are some of the more recent pictures. You can find the full set of pictures in my Photobucket album here:

Oh man! they look so much healthier and livelier than the first bunch of pictures when you first found them. Keep up the good work!

Kitties, get big and strong and then find some great homes!

They are precious! So tiny! And so darn cute!!!!!!

It's been a very long time since I've been around such small kittens. Decades actually! I wish I could foster, but I just don't have the space to do it. Nor do I think I'd be able to give them up after the fact. I get too attached, too quickly and it would break my heart to have to give them up.

They look so good.

My bottle baby didn't wean until she was almost 10 weeks. I couldn't get her off the bottle. you are doing really well

They are so unbelievably cute! It makes me want a little one. Although, I'm not too sure how my two would react. lol
