She isn't quite ready for wet food yet but we will be trying that again soon. Here is a photo for all those watching! Feel free to...

    Hello again everyone! Another update today; she is 2 and a half weeks old now. On Monday, we got her the dewormer. There were quick results, such as a LOT of diarrhea for several hours. We talked to our vet and he had us wait it out. The next day, she started eating like crazy! Now we have her...

    Caring For Abandoned Premature Kitten

    We will keep trying to feed her more if possible! I'm just afraid of giving her too much and causing her aspiration. Unless she starts acting really lethargic or has any other problems, we have an appointment to take her to the vet on Monday morning when she is officially 2 weeks old. They...

    Hello everyone! Day 11 update. She is doing great, and her eyes are open huge!! She's gaining about 0.2 oz a day, and is 3.1 ounces now. Our only concern is her eating schedule. Despite our efforts, she is wanting to have 1.5 - 2 ml of goat's milk every 30 mins to an hour and aggressively...

    Caring For Abandoned Premature Kitten

    Hi Stefan, Do you think it would be better to have her in her own bed instead of sleeping on us? We are waiting on an Amazon order of the Snuggle Kitty and are thinking of transitioning her so we can move around a bit more without waking her. We also have a 5 month old cat, a 3 year old cat...

    Caring For Abandoned Premature Kitten

    Reading through my post I have a few clarifications to make! I can't find an edit button so I will correct down here. "We reckon that she was under the shed for at most 10 hours since that was the last time we saw her."--> we had seen her mother wandering around 10 hours before. "Should I try to...

    Caring For Abandoned Premature Kitten

    Hello everyone, My mother and I found a batch of 3 newborn kittens under our shed on Monday (2 had died) (6/11). Since two had already passed, we decided to try to save the survivor and bury the other two. We live in a very rural area with a lot of coyotes and wolves, so the mother likely had...
