Too cool!
How exciting!! Good luck with the little one.
Send many scritches and warm hugs to the baby from me!
;)
Give the little one lots of scritchies from me. I can't wait to see pictures!
Oh goody, more kitten pictues! I thinkwe're all going to overdose on kittens one of these days, but what a way to go. :D
Aly, you're another one here that really deserves a pat on the back for all the hard work you put into saving kitty lives. Thanks. :)
Oh.... how wonderful!!! A bottle baby? That should be interesting, and one with a little hurt leg... POOR BABY!!! Please post pics of that sweet baby!!!
;)
thats wonderful!
hey how is Peka?
Peka is finally back to normal. She's been improving the past couple days and was finally herself today so thats why I felt I could take in the baby :)
I'm calling my new baby Stringbean today but she'll have a new name once I get to know her better. She had a string tied around her leg :( :( :( :( :( It was cutting off circulation and is REALLY swollen with a big gash where the string was. The vet was able to get the string off and give me some antibiotics for her. She's a Siamese mix I think and she's got some pretty strong lungs!! She seems to be about 2 weeks old. Her eyes were closed but she just opened one this evening!!! Reece and Lolly are having fun watching over her. I'm not letting her near Shiloh since she won't be tested for FIV until 8 weeks.
I have some pictures and video that I'll post shortly. Its time for the baby to eat and potty first - she's gnawing on my hand!
Here's the little girl. All the other pics I have show her hurt leg and I wasn't sure if you guys would want to see that or not. More pics to come :)

Aly, What a dolly! Show more pictures.
What a sweet innocent little kitten. Bless you for taking care of her and giving her a chance.
AWWWWWW. OMG that is the cutest kitten! Its so nice of you to take that sweet darling face in! How nice of you! Sooo adorable!
Ash
Thank you for taking care of this precious little darling.
Any name suggestions? I'm tossing around a few : Star, Tigerlily, Blossom, Iris, Delilah
I forgot to mention she has a chance of losing her leg :( It is looking good that she can probably keep it though. Poor girl.
what a cute kitten. I hope she doesnt loose her leg!! :(.. that would be horrid. name her Nermil, Salim, /Figaro. . :D..
TOOO CUTE!!!!
I like the name Tigerlily or Lily.
Interested in state names??
Ask Cataholic!!!:)
What a precious baby! Thanks so much for taking her into your care! How in the world did she get a string tied around her leg.... or do I want to know???? :(
I sure hope she is able to keep her little leg.... if her eyes just opened ... she is probably 10 days to 2 weeks at the most! She is beautiful for sure .... looks silver shaded?
Yes, please keep those pics coming ... we will enjoy watching her grow and gain strength in the coming weeks!!! :D
I don't think I want to know how either :( :mad: :( She was found in someone's backyard. I can't imagine her just being able to tangle herself up that bad in a string :confused:Quote:

Yeah I was estimating her to be around 12 days or so. It feels so good to have a baby in the house again. Its been several months since I've had one here. Well more like 8 months because my last foster kittens were already eating on their own and wouldn't take the bottle.
*****WARNING*****
I'm going to post a pic of her leg as an attachment so people don't have to look at it if they don't want to. I don't think the picture is too bad. You can just tell how swollen it is. It looks a lot worse in person :(
Aly, she's adorable and I'm so glad that you're able to care for her. :D I sure hope that she doesn't lose her leg. Prayers are on the way for a full leg recovery. Please post more pics when you get a chance. BTW I like the name Star or Skye for her.:)
she is so tiny and precious, i am so sad about her leg, it looks so swollen and sore poor wee thing, u are such a great person to care fo her, i think tigerlily or lily is an awesome name, she is such a sweetie, she will grow up to be a real cutie pie.:D
What a cutie ? How long are you looking after her (and will you be able to let her go...)
I know it's been said before but................
cuteness overload!
and I happen to like the name Stringbean. It is cute and it is different. And ..... can you send her to PA????;)
She is sooo cute!!! Sounds like she's has a miserable 2 weeks, but she's in great hands now!! Good luck!!!
I'll be fostering her for 6-8 weeks then she will be adopted out. It will be so hard to let her go but I think Shiloh will keep me in line. If I ever add another kitty, it would probably have to be a boy as Shiloh NEVER likes the girls. I know she probably could get used to Tigerlily eventually, but then I would have less room to take in fosters. I'm getting so attached and it will be hard, but I am going to find her a perfect home so that will make things easier :)Quote:

It's so good to knwo that there are people like you to take care of a little baby like Star Tigerlily (these are the names I like best). You wonder what happened to her cat mom:( :( :(
I hope she can keep her leg but I have met a cat with 3 legs last year in Greece who was as fast as all the others. Animals can cope very well with a handicap if they are in a safe home.
Oh what a beauty she will be. And how sorry I am for her. Two week old kittens should all be safe with their mom and not hurt and all alone in the world.
Awwwww......she's so cute!!!!!! You must be very excited. I've never fostered any kittens before, I'd love to foster one. But the hardest part of it is when they go to another home, or get adopted. I know that it's hard not to get attached. She's so young too.
So cute!!!!! BTW, if you get a chance, post more pics?
She's so cute!
Oh I am crying right now...that poor baby!!! So innocent! I can't even believe that someone could be that cruel to hurt her!! :GRRRRR: :mad:
Thank you for taking her in and giving her a chance at living. She is sooooo cute!! I'm in love with her!! :)
I agree with lailamara , God Bless you for taking the little one in , and I recommend Sterling for a name. Please keep in touch and let us know when the leg heals!
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shes so beautiful!!! AHH!! Tigerlily is an adorable name! I like, as someone suggested, Sterling too. But that sounds more like a male name to me. But it is fitting with the colour! SO CUTE!!! AH!
What an adorable baby she is, I'm so glad that you're taking care of her now! Please cuddle her from me, okay? How's she doing btw, hope her leg will be alright! :)
I also love the name Lily (like I posted in another post, Luna's new little sister will also be named Lily). Another name I also like very much is Jana, or Laura.
Kirsten
Iris! Flower pretty, and lilac-colored!
Any chance of airmailing her to Massachusetts? Someone I know will be looking for a kitten soon ...
I'm getting worried about her. She's seemed fine except she cries a LOT more than any other baby I've fostered. I am thinking it is either because she has no siblings or her leg is hurting her. I fed her about 45 min or an hour ago and she's still not asleep. She just keeps crying. She's not done this before. Arrrrrrrrgggghhh!
Ummmm, well, at least you know her lungs are healthy? ;) (Sorry, not much help, am I?)
Oh you wouldn't believe how identical she is to one of the kittens that my rescue Lacie has! I don't think I have a close up... but will get one!
Sweet baby ... maybe she's just hungry? I sure hope her little leg isn't hurting!! :( Try not to get discourage, you are doing a wonderful thing for her .... we all here support you 110%!!!!
I am thinking she's okay - maybe its the siamese in her!
You're right Karen, this is one HEALTHY set of lungs!!!
She's working on opening her other eye :D
That is a beautiful sweet litle kitten - I thought Casidy might suit her with her set of lungs :D I really hope her leg heals quickly. Did the vet say it was string or the umbilical cord still wrapped around her leg?
I have seen that happen when I was volunteering at the rescue centre. A person bought in a whole mess of kittens (literally) and one very sick mum because the cords were all entangled around each other. The unfortunately couldn't save mum and 2 kittens. The other 2 were adopted out.
Although she's so small and frail she looks strong somehow. Maybe now that she's a little stronger she is missing her fur-family?
We keep all fingers and paws crossed for her. She just must have the most wonderful long cat life after this start:)
