First time rescuing three adorable kittens/bittersweet good-bye

[Chrissytine]

This is the first time I have rescued kittens. I have had them for two weeks and I suspect they are about four weeks old. I am still bottle feeding and have just introduced the litter box which they are starting to use. When should I introduce wet food? Also, I am not sure of the sex. Hoping I can get get some help with that!? Thank you

Watching a litter of tiny kittens suckling voraciously, you may be wondering how they will ever switch over to eating on their own? The transition from nursing to independent eating is called weaning. It is a process and does not happen over night, but the good news is yes, every kitten...

You are an angel to help them. I agree that there are two little girls and a boy.

Is it normal for kittens to climb up your legs when you are preparing their food? They are about 6weeks old and I'm not sure if this is something I should be concerned with or if this is a normal reaction for six weeks old kittens?

Oh my gosh, yes, it is very normal because they are wanting to climb everything at this age. Slightly annoying, but completely normal.

Yes, this normal. They get very excited about food!

Two of the three adorable kittens I rescued have moved on to their new homes. Erie (now Penelope) and Remy ( now Watson) are having the best time in their new homes! They are both now living with friends of ours so I will be able to continue to see them which is fantastic! The third kitten, Carter, we could not part with. So..we have a new member of the family! This was the first time I rescued kittens and what a joy it was! So rewarding

When I first read the title of your thread I got worried but so happy two of the kittens went to new homes and Carter will stay with you. Even better Penelope and Watson will be living with friends nearby so you can visit.
