Yes your right, they have similar markings don't they?

Wow! They are tiny. It reminds of the time when I had to foster two kittens that were only 6 days old for a couple of days.

Oh Aly, they are so precious!! Two of the new ones look so much bigger than the other one?
How do you find the time? Holy mackerel!!

What cuties!!!!

I love your kitties!!!!!!! I just got a 2 week old kitten in yesterday that someone brought to me in a paper bag. He was found down at the river. His mommy was a stray and all other kittens were lost to a dog. He is on 2 hour feedings. Just to let you know, your first kittens are older than a week old, kittens eyes open when they are two weeks. Youmentioned that you are feeding with a syringue? Is this a tube syringue or just squirting milk into their mouth. Tube feeding must be done by someone who is experienced or you can risk placing the tube into the lungs instead of the stomach which would kill the kittens!

HOW PRECIOUS!!!

{{{Aly & kittens}}}
How wonderful that these precious little babies have such a great fur-foster-mom!! No doubt they're in good hands I can imagine how exhausted you must be, but what a rewarding experience!!! Cuteness overload!!! Do keep us posted on their progress!!! Try and get some rest!
**hugs**

They are so precious!!! Thank goodness there are people in this world like you who are willing to take the time and love to care for these orphaned little furbabies. God bless you!

I'm lucky to be able to bring them all to work to keep up with their feedings. Other than that, I had to cut my sleeping time in half to make more time, hehe.

I dunno. Someone at work told me they were between 7 and 10 days old when I first got them on Saturday. (I just read that they are open anytime between 9 and 14 days old so they are probably about a week and half old).

I have been taking care of babies for a long time at work and would never do anything if I didn't know how to do it. I was just squirting milk in their mouths with a syringe but they are on a bottle now. Trust me, they are spoiled and I have my vet and also the techs at work that I can reach by phone in a matter of seconds.

I have a question. My little babies aren't pooping. I make them pee after every feeding but they won't poop. I think they're constipated from the change of mama's milk to formula. Anyone know how long I should give them before taking them to a vet? I'm gonna drop by work today and see if anyone can do it, but no one could yesterday so I'm not too hopeful.

Ok, Aly, You got me! I am so behind in Pet Talk, esp; the Dog threads, feeling so out of the loop and behind with everyone's stories, BUT I just HAD to check out your post and I am so HOOKED on these little kitties!!! OMG They are just soooo cute and adorable and fuzzy and . PINK! God Bless You as always for your compassion and caring and love! Up every 2 hours? I'll bet as tired as you are, you really aren't complaining at all, huh??? I remember when I got Cody, i got uo every 2 hours to take him out whether he wanted to or not, lost lots of sleep, but it was worth it in the end. No regrets. Boy! Would I love to visit you some day! You're closer than Best Friends !! Love you girl, Aly the Angel!

Aly, these babies are soooo cute! How tiny they are!!! And they have such beautiful names!

I think Hope is okay for a boy, I wouldn't rename him...

Oh yeah I have another question. For the 4 week old kittens, is crystal litter okay? I know its best for them to have pellets but I dont have any of that right now. I know they experiment with eating the liter when they are babies and don't know if I should put crystal liter in with them.

*yawn*

Are you rubbing their little bellies after nursing? This should stimulate their bowel movements. Cats are licking their babies bellies for that effect...
