Any insights welcome!
I rescued a litter from under my shed a few years ago. They were about 4 weeks old. I was amazed at how they instinctively knew how to use the litter box. They also ate moistened kitten food right away. I was very fortunate that a very good friend took two females and they could not have been more than 4 or 5 weeks old. Another friend took one of the kittens about the same time. I am sure there is probably something official about this on the internet but as long as they can eat and use the litter box I see no reason they cannot be adopted.

Here is a picture of the little darlins. Everytime I look at this picture I wish I had them back again for just a few days. They were sooooo much fun!



Every once in a while my friends will send me updated pics. My brother has Max so I get to see him frequently.
