The dewormer used was Revolution.

Almost forgot, first a dewormer.

They were treated long term 2-3 weeks with an antibiotic. She couldn't remember which Doxy or Clavamox

Two of my now former ferals were trapped for TNR at 4 months old but were not put back outside because they were found to have lungworm. It was treated successfully and then immediately they had herpes which was also treated. Even though the male was very aggressive, the decision was made to...

Few cats actually show true black ( brownish is common as mentioned by Amethyst) in the sunlight, but are still considered black. So keep considering those "black cat" names!

At our rescue, fosters do not stay at the foster home long term unless they have "special needs" as you mentioned in your post. A typical friendly adult would probably be in foster 4-6 weeks or less. I suggest you check with your local rescues.

Petco will not take it back if you bought it over 30 days ago.(Standard policy in all stores) Even if it's unopened. I know this from experience.

Getting kitten ferals used to feet, I feel is the last step in socialization. Looking at it from their perspective, it must be terrifying seeing this huge creature moving toward you. But they will realize over time that feet are no threat. Just move slowly around them. Do you have another...

It is common practice that cats get tatoos when spayed/neutered here. (NH/MA) None of our cats at our rescue have had issues with the tatoo. Nor do we use cones. I have seen neutered male cats who appear to be intact. (esp if neutered later in life) Thus the need for tatoo on males.

They seem very relaxed in the pictures and you can hold and pet them. I believe in a month or two (or perhaps sooner) they will be well socialized and very adoptable. (they are beautiful kittens!) Thank you for saving them.

Our rescue uses a cat behaviorist who works free of charge. She has helped. Did you get your kitten from a rescue? If so, I would start with a call to the rescue.

Is Revolution available in your country? It treats for hook worm and round worm and you just apply it on the back of the kitten's neck. the kitten must be at least 2.8 lbs. It is rather expensive.

Wonderful news!

I celebrate your progress! The kittens seem to be progressing well. Once GG and Tabby see all the fun Boyo is having playing with the wand, they are sure to join in. I too am saddened by their mom's PTS. You did your best. Where are you located? Here most shelters/rescues are no kill...

Where are they suckling? Be careful as sometimes they will suckle another kitten's penis. That's causes issues for the poor little boy.
