I'm so glad that your mom found her and that you're now able to care for her. It sounds like you're doing everthing right. Please continue to keep us updated. Good luck.

I think I'm being condtioned by the tiny meows...

I catch myself getting up to check on her about every 15-20 minutes. She is eating a healthy ammount. How long should I be giving her the KMR? I have the 2nd stage formula too so I can switch her when necicary. I think she gained a bit of wieght too, I have a postal scale so I'll check against my readings from last night. I read somewhere that kittens of that age should gain a litte every day...is that true?

If it helps at all, a kitten should gain a pound a month. You should have gram scale, it has ounces on it. Make sure she is not gaining too much. Her urine should be light yellow and her poop brownish. If it is green, she is eating to much. Don't switch to stage two untill she is about four weeks. Also try introducing her (a little at a time) to baby food (gerber lamb) at about four to five weeks old. You sound like you are doing great. Please keep us posted and keep up the good work!
