    8 week old kittens refusing to drink water

    Wanted to make a quick update here: The little runt that began drinking water mixed with Pet-A-Lyte when I started this thread taught his two siblings how to drink water! I saw him giving lessons to his sister yesterday and his big brother this morning, he was drinking like a pro with him, it...

    8 week old kittens refusing to drink water

    They're gonna be over 10 weeks old when they go to their new home, prolly around 11 or 12. The brother and sister kitten will be adopted together and the runt is sticking around with me until he can pack on more weight, he's super duper tiny. It's funny because this tiny runt has been hitting...

    8 week old kittens refusing to drink water

    I can try a bubbly fountain, I do have one for the older cats but these kittens are so small they wouldn't be able to reach it haha. I'll need to look around for one that's lower to the ground and try it out. I did try formula in a dish when they were a bit younger but they turned their noses up...

    8 week old kittens refusing to drink water

    Thank you for the reply! Of all the cats I raised these guys are the only ones that have had issues, so it worried me, haha. I feel a little better knowing they'll get enough from the wet food. I have been adding water there too! I'll try the ice cubes and the tuna water mixture today and see...

    8 week old kittens refusing to drink water

    I've been raising a trio of orphaned kittens since day 1 and everything has been working out pretty good up until the weaning process and when these guys should be eating and drinking on their own, while getting them to eat on their own went well, it's getting them to drink that ended up being a...

    Tips on litterbox training?

    Hey all! About 4 weeks back I took in abandoned 1 day old kittens and have been hand rearing them since with great success! They're all well-fed and active and learning to run and play. My issue is that I kinda goofed and have been helping them pee/poo (stimulating them) a little too long I...

    1 week old kitten fell 2-3 feet onto hard floor

    Sorry to bump the thread, but I have an update, the dropped kitten is eating like a horse, responsive, and doing just fine! After her meal she cuddled up into my chest and almost fell asleep purring, I am so relieved!

    1 week old kitten fell 2-3 feet onto hard floor

    No problem, I found the little guys on the side of the road in a tiny box at just one day old, I want to work my ass off to give them a second chance since no one else was willing to, ya know? Thank you though, this has been very reassuring to me and you guys have been so kind!

    1 week old kitten fell 2-3 feet onto hard floor

    I don't have a lot of experience with kittens this young but I feel that they're so fragile that something like this would hurt them irreversibly. Thank you though, I'll make absolutely sure this does not happen again, ever.

    1 week old kitten fell 2-3 feet onto hard floor

    Thank you so much for such a prompt response, I was shocked when she latched and sucked down her dinner right after such an experience, I should have seen that as a good sign, but I've been so stressed from work and lack of sleep, naturally my brain went into full on panic mode So if there...

    1 week old kitten fell 2-3 feet onto hard floor

    Hello, I'm new here, I'm having a bit of a panic moment and wanted to get some reassurance or advice on this situation. I have my orphan kittens set up in a carrier on the bed so that I can monitor them while I work at my desk nearby. While I was feeding one of her siblings, one of the kittens...
