Hello,
I am pretty active with dog rescue and fostering, but this is my first time fostering kittens. A local rescue is just overrun with it being kitten season. I am getting 5 kittens, 2 from one litter, 3 from another to foster for 6 weeks or so. They are 6 weeks old, weaned, and using the litter box. I have a large 2nd bathroom that I set up for them with beds, toys, food, water, and a litter box. I know I need to play with them and handle them and expose them to new things to socialize them. Is there anything else I should be doing? Or anything I should get before I pick them up tonight?
I have 2 small dogs, so the kitties will be in their room for at least a week before being introduced to the run of the house. I am assuming I will have to take them for their 8 week shots and possible the spay/neuters depending on how long I keep them.
I am just hoping others might have fostered and have some advice for a first time kitten foster
Thank you in advance for any help!
