Can you spell crazy? J*E*N

I did a transport for 3 adults who were coming from a NJ county shelter to 1by1. They are staying the night with me and moving to their foster homes tomorrow.

But that is not the end of the story. I told the shelter directers I could do up to 4 bottle babies. 2 were readied for transport when the driver called me this morning BEGGING me to take 2 more that just arrived.

OK :rolleyes: Bring them on.

So now I have 2 blue(grey) tabby siblings, a brother and sister, probably 3 1/2 to possibly 4 weeks old.

I have a mostly white with black markings (on head and tail mostly) female who is probably 2 to maybe 2 1/2 weeks old.

And I have a blue(grey) female, very hard to describe her color as it is not quite solid and it is not quite tabby, but she is definitley only about a week old.

They are suckling good, but boy do they have LUNGS! :eek:

Sorry that you will need to wait for photos. And I also need to name them. Screaming Mee Mee and Banshee are coming to mind right now. LOL

They have liquid poop. Any suggestions on that considering their age? I'll get them to the vet first thing tomorrow.

The furry four and Rain & Maybelline are eating now so at least I am not worried about them. 10 babies......am I nuts???

I don't know how you do it!
I don't think I'd ever be able to let them go. I get attached so quickly and so fast.

You're a godsend to the little ones.

Almond Roca Would Be Honored To Have One Of Those Bottle Babies Named After Her, She Would Be There Helping To Nurse And Clean In A New York Minute.
Or Pennsylvania Minute.
Thats Four More Gold Stars By Your Name Jen,
7 If You Include The 3 Adults.
You Are Again Our Hero.

The boy's strpes are more pronounced. The girl looks more solid grey.

The 2 tinier babies.....I did not hve the heart to wake. I'll ge better photos next time I feed. But the smallest baby (the dark one) I am going to name Teena (because she is so teeny). And the white shall be named Almond Roca.

Well, there are no brown tabbies in this bunch, is it the Katrina look-a-like? (white with black for those who didn;t know Katrina)

OMG Jen, have you gone CRAZY!!!! LOL!!! Believe me when I say that I am just joking. :D

A heart of gold Jen. That's what you have. They couldn't be in better hands.

They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute and such unique markings on the older two.

Oh gosh, GARY is going to be so happy that his precious RB Roca will have a widdle namesake. Thank you for that Jen. :)

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way that these precious bottle babies do well in your care. You just never know what condition they are in by the time you get them, but, you pulled lovely Maybelline through Jen, so I have no doubt that these babies will also thrive in your care. :)

Gary will be tickled that his sweet girl will have a namesake. Bless you for naming her Almond Roca.

They are so adorable. I wish I lived close enough to come help you! They're going to keep you busy, that's for sure.

Checking in after my first sleep-deprived night. :eek: (LOL)

OMG! The diarrhea is SO bad. Why doesn't the vet open at 7am? :p

But they are eating well. But they SCREAM!. Well, it did help me decide on names ......... Dr. Bellows and Lady Lungs.

Those names are to funny!! Awwwww! Those babies are just to cute and sweet! Can't wait until you get better ones of the little sleepers. They looks real fluffy.

No sleep huh? Get some sleep when they are sleeping if you can!

I LOVE that Almond Roca - at the age where there are hardly any ears! :D

I hope you've been able to get to the vet by now.

Waiting for updates on Lady Lungs and Dr. Bellows! :)

We have some meds for the babies. But the vet likes to get them OFF the KMR. She says sof the smallest 2 use KMR half and half with goat's milk (more shopping :rolleyes: ) and for the older ones, NO KMR. Use kitten canned (or a/d) with baby food. Also acidophilus in the mixture.

they are 14 oz., 12 oz, 9 oz, and 5 oz.

MESSY, MESSY, MESSY. and LOUD
but cute.

Oh Jen! So you are into bottle babies now. How do you do it? I'd want to keep them all (or at least half of them in my case, lol).

They are adorable!!!!! Have fun with the messy loud bunch. :)
