Found three little kitties today !!!

[koxka]

Yes, I'm at work with three little kittens in a box next to me.LOL
Theirs eyes aren't opened yet. One is gray, one looks tabby and the tirth is solid black.

Went to the vet right away and picked the replacement formula at home. So far I have fed them twice with a serynge.

I'll need help from those of you that foster.Never got so tiny kittens before.

The whole story and pics when I get home.

I'm sooo excited and I love them already!

How is it that kittens keep *finding* PT folks?
Can't wait for pictures and updates!!!!!

[catnapper]

Yeah, sure TEASE us with half a story and promises of pictures! LOL. Can't wait to see the tiny babies.

[cloverfdx]

Ohhh goodluck i cannot wait for the pictures.

Oh Koxka!! That is so exiting - do you intend to keep them? Have you looked for the mother around in the area? It's quite a task you have taken on, but I'm sure you can cope! Feeding them the right food is probably the most important at the moment and keeping them warm, of course. I have no idea what else you can do, but I'm sure someone on PT will know a few things about the subject.

Oh, you better keep them away from your other kitties in case they have an infection!

Can't wait to see pictures of them. All the very best of luck!!

It's that secret kitty grapevine - THEY KNOW we love cats, give them nice furrever homes and take good care of them. It's a "burden" that most of us bear oh-so-very willingly!

Can't wait for PICTURES! Welcome to the world, little ones!

I think you should PM kimlovescats or aly - they are specialists! Where did you find them? I can't wait to hear the story.

Awaiting story and pictures

[koxka]

The story:
This morning we went to check on a property, kind of old little farm, that has been "occupied" for someone breaking a window, like it happened many times before.
Anyway I decided to go too, while we were inspecting through the house, in one of the rooms there was a matress on the floor covered with a brown blanked with a black spot on it, I decided I wanted to know what was on there. The room was poorly enlightened and should to bent down to check on the black spot...well the rest is history.

The pictures











..to be continued... It has been quite and hectic day, and still a lot of thing to do. Find a box or a basked the same size of Magda's heating mad and put on Magda's cage the lizard heating mad. Sisi "the bunny" is waiting for her daily cuddles and the list goes on...

[K & L]

OMG! Lucky you came along. Did you see any signs of mom cat?

[catnapper]

OMG! They are just too too precious! Look at how little and helpless they are! Kudos to you saving them!

PS: I'll take the Pouncer look-alike.

The kitties must have a mother. What do you know about her?

[aly]

How SWEET!!!!!!!!!

The good news is they look like they'll be opening their eyes any day now, so that crucial first week and a half is over. It will still be crucial to feed them right, but just not quite AS much as if they were younger

If you have ANY questions at all, don't hesitate to ask me. I've raised lots of newborn kitties and puppies.

If you have a small, clean stuffed animal, you might want to put it in with them so they can cuddle to it like its their mama.

The pictures are so cute. They look healthy! (There must be a mama kitty around there for them to have survived - can you set a live trap?)

I'm sure you're doing a great job with them!

[sirrahbed]

OH! So tiny and young!! I wonder also about the mamma? So tiny!!
For Aly and others - do you still do the hot water bottle thing for little babies like this? - to make them warm and feel sort of like a mamma cat?

[aly]

Yup - I use a little warmer that you heat up in the microwave (then place it under a blanket). I always wrap it TIGHTLY and keep a close eye on the babies to be sure they never wiggle under the blanket and lay on it directly. I'm also careful not to make it too hot - which means I am constantly warming it. I used to use heating pads, but they scare me. I'm just always so paranoid.

(Thats why I use a small stuffed animal to act as mama while they are young. If its too big, it will take them off the heat. Skylar still loves his "mama" stuffy he had when he was a wee one)
