Bottle baby madness!

[snakemama]

OK, I dunno if one bottle baby counts as madness, but I'm exhausted!

On 8/8, a nice lady found a baby kitten being looked over by a couple of neighborhood dogs. She picked up the kitty, and found no mama in sight, so she brought kitty to the nearest vet hospital. My sister in law works there.

She already has a foster puppy and didn't really want another foster, so she took him home thinking she'd call around and see if any local rescues would take him in. BUT before she could make a single call, I snatched him up!!

My sis in law names all of her fosters after plants, so to keep with that theme I've named him Parsley. He was about 2 days old when I got him, and he's THRIVING! We had a scare on the third day with some bloody stool, but he was prescribed the teeniest dose of clavamox I've ever seen and has been doing fantastic ever since!

Here's a picture from each day that I've had him, in order...

The day I got him:


















Today I got a delightful surprise: Eye slits!! He's going to have gorgeous eyes!

Awww, thanks for taking care of him! Give him a kiss for me, okay?

Oh my goodness, this thread needs a cuteness warning!

Thank you for caring for him / her. (Do we know yet?)

I know several on here have cared for bottle babies, and all needed a break of a day or 2, to SLEEP!

You ARE going to keep this wee one, aren't you?

[phesina]

Oh, God bless you and Parsley both!!!!!

[Scooter's Mom]

Ahh, how sweet! Good luck with the wee one.

Parsley is a wee boy! My local low cost spay/neuter clinic has a 12 week waiting list, so I got him on it the day after he came home.

Both hubby and I want to keep him, but it's up to my MIL since we're staying at her place right now. She's VERY tolerant of my assorted animals, but we'll see...

Karen: Kiss delivered!!

[Malibu's Mom]

Aaah, too freakin' cute! Like the opposite of Sophia's babies. Thank you for helping the little one. Bottle babies are hard work but really pay off in the end.
And what a cute name as well.

OMG could that be any cuter? NO! Kisses from me too! Adorable!

[krazyaboutkatz]

He's adorable. Thanks for taking him in and I hope he continues to thrive in your care.

Parsley likes to sleep like this after meals...

[Barbara]

Aaawww- Parsley is a real small baby kitten and he is so lucky to have found you. I just cannot get over how cute he is

[smokey the elder]

You're doing great! He's such a sweet little white kitten.

[Freedom]

He he, that's cute, sleeping with his "pacifier." LOL

[Anikaca77]

Oh my goodness so tiny and cute! What a little cutie! Thank you for taking this little one in.

Bless you and Parsley, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute. It is exhausting, but so worth it. My Lucky came to us at 1 day. He is one of the most loving guardians I have ever had.
