More Fosters

[aly]

Yeah the orange boys went to the President of the Board's house. I can call her or go over there whenever I want.

So far so good on the new two. They've been screaming almost nonstop all night. At least that means they're strong. I've been getting up every hour and a half trying to get them to eat. I just get very small amounts into them at a time.

I'm calling the vet when I wake up again in an hour to see if I can get them fluids.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIRED.

(Lolly's really worried since she's been hearing crying all night. She perches at the edge of the bed and stares at their crate and I can't get her to come sleep in her normal spot next to me)

Bless your heart .... hang in there!!! Praying that these babies will make it !!!

[NoahsMommy]

I'll be praying hard today for these sweeties.

Aly, you are such a wonderful soul....

Oh, Aly, I wish I were closer to you and I would help! I am a terrible sleeper, most of the time, and am up at all hours. I would be a good kitten foster mom, but only if I didn't have all these other dogs and cats!

Hang in there. I know if those babies have a chance, it is because of the wonderful care you are providing.

The vet I saw probably knew less about babies than I do I was not comfortable with him at all and got out of there as fast as I could. He was actually trying to shove a large thermometer up ... you know where! IN TWO DAY OLD KITTENS!!! I told him NOT to do that and took the kitten out of his hands

He told me they are diseased and the mom rejected them so I might want to think about euthanasia. Well...... NO! I know its a possibility that happened, but he doesn't know that for sure. If these babies have any chance at all, I am going to make sure they get it!

They're still acting strong. They're crying and climbing on their "mama" (a stuffed dog, hehe). I have them set up with a heating pad and they are eating a little better. They will be going to a GOOD vet tomorrow. I don't think they'll need fluids though.

Wow, Oh Aly! Bless You!!! Thank you for giving these kitties a chance! Sending good vibes your way, and hoping you'll be able to catch a cat-nap or two!!

The little ones are still doing great. They are eating better and spend most of the time curled up on their heating pad. I think they are both boys and they might be Siamese mixes but its too early to tell yet. They look a lot like Tonkinese but I doubt thats what they are. They're so tiny, its impossible to tell. I haven't named them yet because I'm still scared to get too attached to them if they don't make it.

Lily is doing GRREEEEAAAATTT!!!! She's getting so big. She's an angel kitten. I am trying to convince my mom she needs a cat because I don't think I will be able to put Lily up for adoption. I'm SO bonded to her.

[kimlovescats]

Thank you so much for not listening to that vet .... and giving them a chance for a second medical opinion!!! You are doing a fabulous job... whatever the outcome! Fingers and toes crossed and prayers sent up for these babies!!!!

Of course you can't give up Lily!!!!!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

what good news!!

I'm praying hard for you guys! I am glad they are feeling happy with their momma (dog)!! Sweet little babies....
I am shocked that vet admitted that he may know less than you about them ..... AND THEN tried to take their temp with that big thermometer!?!?? I wonder what garage he got his degree from??!?!

Keep up the good work .... I am sure those little babies are gonna do just fine!

[Cincy'sMom]

Hang in there Aly! You have such a big heart and are so wonderful with the kittens! if anyone can save them it is you! ( Just don't put your own health at risk...)

Here's my boy I still have:

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Gosh! You are so lucky! I wouldn't be able to give them away though. You really are a great person.

[aly]

Just a little update that the boy is doing really good. He took some formula from a bottle today for the first time (I had been using a syringe). He's going potty really well and he's very strong and squirmy. I still feel sick to my stomach with worry, but once we get past a few more days I think I'll feel better.

Then of course I have to worry about the Felv test when he's older But I'm trying to take this one day at a time for now.

I'm thinking of a good strong male name .. something like Hercules Or Fabio! Any suggestions?

[Cookiebaker]

Oh He's sooo sweet!!! Keeping all paws & fingers crossed and sending good vibes your way that he will stay healthy!!!
