Hi everyone...as some of you know, the 6 month old kitten I rescued, Zilla, had a surprise for me. She gave birth to 2 beautiful kittens, Zorro and Zena.
Anyways, this is new territory for me as I have never experienced this gift before except as a kid when I took it for granted. During the spring and summer I work 2 jobs, about 65 hrs a week. The kittens will be 3 weeks old next wednesday, so they will be weened fairly soon and also start needing food and water, also mobility will be become an issue.
My concerns are these: should I limit their mobility to 1 or 2 rooms at 1st, and how should I approach feeding them??? (I will not be home on the average of 9-13 hrs a day, except Sun. my day off)...can this be managed by myself or should I pay someone to come and feed them???...What precautions should I take for exploring little furballs???...What kind of food??? (obviously soft, but are there foods specifically made for kittens of this age???...ANY help, suggestions, advice, insight, thoughts, (prayers..lol)...are welcomed!!!!!!!.....(this is such a great community, if last year hadn't been so hard on me I wouldn't have been away so long!!!)...THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Zorro is the blk one and Zena the grey)......
