I just got this kitten today. He's a rescue, and I was told that he was 8-9 weeks old. however I find this very hard to believe. He's TINY. I just snapped some pics, maybe you guys will be able to help me determine his age.
I foster for our local animal control. If they cant find foster homes for kittens under 8 weeks (even if they are 4 weeks) they list them as 8 weeks and adopt them out anyways. Because kittens that young dont survive in shelters (to many things they can catch) so they figure they have a better chance adopted out.Originally Posted by crittermom
I would also say 5 weeks old.
When I got Mia, the shelter said she was 10 weeks old,there is NO WAY she was that old.
KMR? Could someone enlighten me as to what that is? I don't believe that I've ever heard of it.Originally Posted by Tavia'smom
He is very tiny but I notice he doesn't have the blue to his eyes so I would say that he could be about 5 weeks but as said before his nutrition will have alot to do with his size. Make sure you get that KMR ( I think I got that right) stuff some of the others can tell you about that stuff.
Do you think that my kitten should be recieving that? He seems to be eatting the kitten food okay. But I'll pick up some kmr if you think he needs it.Originally Posted by DixieDarlin256
KMR is Kitten Milk Replacement that you feed to abandoned, orphaned kittens. It's a replacement for thier mother's milk and very vital to them for the first 2-3 months. You can get it at Wal-Mart or any pet store
