I currently foster 3, whom are in a playpen. They are almost big enough to not get into places, like under the stove or between the fridge and the wall. But until then, they are in the only playpen I have.
The shelter just got in 20 new kittens from a hoarding situation. All are about 3-4 weeks. They are busting at the seams and looking for anyone who can foster.
I do have a room. (we call it an Arizona room) which I may be able to convert. But, it has no heat or air to it. It does have a ceiling fan, and 4 windows. Even though I'm in the mountains, it's still Arizona and gets from 80-90 degrees. Yesterday was 85.
Do the kittens still need a heating pad at this age? I kept mine on one because it actually snowed last week, but it's removed now. Not to mention they are 9 weeks.
But if they do, how do I make sure they stay on it?
I thought about buying more playpens, but they are $40 each and I just don't have that to spare on things I may never use after this one time, but it's still an option.
Any advice on how to convert this room so I can take some of these kittens off their hands.
