    new foster kittens

    Instead of doing dog rescue(I would love to but I know I would never be able to give back a dog) I help out with a non kill cat rescue. I take on all infant kittens and do bottle feeding. I keep them til 8 weeks then return them to the end rescue to be adopted

    Right now we have 40 kittens in rescue to either be adopted or between fosters. I just gave up a litter of 4 and just got 5 more about 6 weeks just need some socializing they were scared they would scatter hiss spit. I've been spending a lot of time with them and this morning they came out and let me touch them.

    I also have a another litter of 5 one is still on the bottle. Trying to ween her she wants nothing to do with food. So I have 10 kittens total in my house. Yeah I never sleep lol!

    I can imagine you never sleep. I applaud you. I'd applaud just a wee bit harder for photos.

    Oh I can not imagine the fun you must be having when they get a little older and all start moving to explore their surroundings. They move so fast when they are small and hide so well.

    Penny although not as young as your babies has found that she loves to climb the curtains, the first of the three since Fredrick and Snookie were little. Tucker and Penny have also decided that it would be great fun to take the vent cover in the bathroom out in the wee hours of the morning, not sure what is going on there hopefully nothing is under the house or in the duct system.

    Yes agreed pictures of your babies please

    Thank you so much for helping these wee babies get a great start. I can imagine you are not sleeping at all.

    Got any pictures?

    It's really great that you are doing this. We adopted a grown cat from a shelter that had never been socialized with other cats, dogs or ever been around many people. She is a mess. We adopted two more kittens from someone like you who was fostering kittens and had dogs. These kittens get along with dogs, other cats and like people. Those first 8 weeks are just as important as the first 16 weeks for dogs! You are giving those kittens a much better chance of adoption and a healthy life.

    Sweet of you to help those kittens. We had a feral cat that had kittens in our backyard. Unfortunately before we could call Animal control, the feral mom moved them. Lots of feral cats here unfortunately. Hope the little ones made it. she had 3.
