Hello! Last week we brought home our new kitten, Jiji. I am a bit worried about her weight. She weighs 500g but is 7 weeks. She was the runt of her litter. Her fur also seems a bit thinner than her siblings. I know she is extremely young, but we brought her home early because the mother (my friend's cat) passed away from renal failure when the kittens were five weeks. She had a bad kidney that had never been diagnosed.
Anyways, Jiji came to stay with us a bit early because she wasn't putting on enough weight. We give her 1 tablespoon of wet kitten food four to six times a day (based on how often she gets hungry).
My question is, should I be worried about her weight or her thin fur? We want her to be healthy so we can consider bringing home one of her sisters in a few weeks.
