Aly, you sure have one sweet little critter there! She couldn't have done better in finding a foster Mom!
My Winston was found at 2 weeks, and that first week he cried and cried - then he just stopped. I was never sure if he adjusted, or just gave up. :confused: He was much better (and quieter) sleeping with a warm hot water bottle, too. But meanwhile, it is so hard to hear them cry!
Winston says "Be brave little girl, you have a good life ahead! Take it from me!"
Oh, aly, I just love her, she is just so sweet and beautiful!! Bless you for accepting and taking such good care of her.
How is she today? Fingers and paws crossed she is doing well.
OH my GOSH!!! Those bottle pictures are soooooo adorable! What a precious little baby girl!!! Oh, you know you are going to bond with this little baby!!!! :)
:) :D We at the lost cats hotel want to thank you for taking that poor little kitten in , and being her Guardian. and we are praying that the Good Lord lets her keep her leg ! Please keep us posted.
Her leg seems better every day :) The swelling is down a lot and her wounds are starting to scab over.
Both her eyes are wide open now!
We're sill waiting for poop though :o I know the KMR can constipate them. None of my babies have ever pooped in the first couple days so I'm not worried quite yet.
Awww!!!!!! Aly, she's adorable!!!
I LOVE the name Iris for her, it goes well with her coloring.
You're such a good meowmee...she looks happy already. :)
She is sooooooo sweet! :) I love these photos where she's drinking from her little bottle! :)
I hope she's only crying 'cause it's her Siamese genes and that her leg doesn't bother her! Give her a get-well-hug from us! :)

She's doing soooooooooooooooooooooo good. We are both soooo bonded already. She's quieted down a lot. She still screams, but she just does it like a normal baby now. She settles down a lot easier and rubs up on me and falls asleep on me. I rub my nose on her nose a lot and she'll start purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring like mad. She loves to lay cradled in my arm. I'm already getting teary about the day I have to let her go. Eeek :(
Her leg is still improving and she's taking her medicine so well!
Here she is sleeping on me right now :)

AWWWWWWWWWWWW
THAT IS SO SWEET IT MAKES ME WANNA CRY!!!!
I didn't know little kitties could purr so early.... I WANNA HOLD HER AND KISS HER!!!!!!!!!!!! Aly you'r so lucky!!!!
So I think she was really missing her furmom and this was why she cried. It's so good to see here in your arm and to know that you are the next best person she could meet. I'm glad to hear her little leg is better.
Don't think now about the time you will have to let her go. Right now she needs all the time she can get from you and both of you can enjoy that:) :)
Now that is super cute!!! Give her all the love you can right now and give her some kisses from me!
She is so adorable, Aly. I don't know how you're going to be able to give her up, but I know you'll find her the best home ever when the time comes. She is so lucky to have found you. :)
And I agree with Barbara that you shouldn't think about when you'll have to give her up. Just treasure every little second you have with her. Then when the time comes, you can feel good about giving her the best start in life she could have. :)
How precious.... you are her mommy now, and she loves you!!!!
Great job, and keep those precious pictures coming!:D
Look who's getting a big tummy :D

OMG that is the cutest thing I've seen all day!!! Thanks for making me smile during a boring day at work! :D
I have no idea how I missed this, Aly, but my goodness, that baby is precious!!! Thank you for caring for her and so many others.
I want a kitten.................. :(
Logan - She's so small, I'm sure your husband wouldn't notice ;) :D
I would have to keep her. She is so cute!
Aly, she's just adorable. :D I'm so glad you can care for her. I know she'll have no trouble finding a great home. :D
I've never seen anything more precious. I'm happy that her leg is healing, that she is taking her medicine, and that she has big lungs, a big purr, and a big tummy. If you can't give her a forever home, please make sure she is adopted by someone very special.
Ali, she is getting prettier everyday... and looks very healthy, happy and LOVED!!!! Bless you!!:D
aww i do hope you end up keeping her, she is so cute, and been through so much, i know she would have a great home with you, heres hoping :)
Awwwwwwww! I don't know how you do it, but we are glad you do! You're dedicated for sure. :)
If you haven't already named her, I like the name Liza :)
(as in Liza Minnelli, for her strong set of lungs and she's a survivor)
We just got back from the vet for her recheck on her leg. The vet was very impressed with how good it looked :D Its still a bit swollen but he said its scabbing nicely and the skin isn't falling off anymore like it had been :eek: I had 3 techs hovering over me constantly saying how cute she was. They couldn't stop looking at her :)
She'll be on antibiotics for another week while she's still healing so we can prevent any secondary infections. I took her to work after the vet and washed her leg with a special shampoo (at the vet's recommendation) and so everyone at work got to see her again too. They all thought she looked great also.
There are now 5 different people saying they want her, hehehe.
I don't doubt that a bit!!!! hehehe That's so wonderful that her leg is healing up well!!! I bet it will be just fine!!!
You won't believe how much she looks like the little meezer mix girl I am fostering too!!! (Gwen)

Aly, she's looking wonderful! You are such a good foster meowmie!! :)
Kim - I just saw Gwen in your other thread! They are twins!! :D
Aly,
I just saw this thread now. As far as peeing and pooping, have you been stimulating her to pee and poop after feeding her? Kittens that small rely on their mamas to stimulate them into doing that.
Take a soft washcloth and rub her in her "private" area. You'll know when she goes because it'll feel warm and wet.
You need to do this after every feeding. Hope this helps.
Another thing you might try to do is leave a radio and nightlight on.
Gwen what a cute mini polar bear you are
And Aly: it makes me so happy to see how well she is:)
Yes I stimulate her to potty. I've had a lot of bottle baby fosters before so I'm used to all that! :) And I have classical music playing 24/7 for her :D She doesn't cry anymore like she did at first. I think she was just stressed and in pain. And probably also missing her mom ...but she knows I'm mama now.
And she did finally poop for me yesterday at 5am. Switching from mama's milk to the KMR constipates them. Just about every single foster baby I've had has taken a few days to poop :)
wow u sure know your kitties, it must be so rewarding fostering these little guys, u do a wonderful job, thank goodness for people like u out there, good on you , cheers
Well four 3 week kitties are going to be added to my foster crew tomorrow :eek: :D :D
I wish Lily could play with them but she's going to have to be by herself until she's 8 weeks old and I can have her tested for Feling Leuk, etc.
I'll post pics as soon as I get the kitties!
After viewing this thread, a person I work with said "I'm in love! I'll drive to Texas ... of course, it's my sister's car, uh ... Where's that one? Tennessee? Do you know any foster kitties in Massachusetts?" She was completely kitten-smitten, and as her family's dog and (former rescue) cat are still living with her parents, animal-deprived! :)
Awww, its kitten season now so there are homeless babies just everywhere I look :( I've had 6 calls in the past 2 days asking me to take in babies. I've found somewhere for all of them except this last bunch so I'm going to take them.
Karen - do you have a lot of rescues around you or are there not so many in your area?
i dont know about foster kitties but i was looking up your shelter in mass, and there is some lovely pussycats desperately seeking homes, one is bear and i forgot the other one, they are inseparable, one is getting on a bit, but they are so cute, i wish someone could take them, they stole my heart,. check them out
I went and picked up my new fosters today. Its not the 4 I originally thought I was getting. Instead I got 3 orange boys whose mom was hit and killed by a car :( They have 2 tortie sisters who went to another foster home. My boys are SOOOOOO CUTE! I will post pics later on. I'm in a bit of a hurry right now :D
