My kittens mom abandoned them
Going to start it off by saying they are doing so good from a five day old blind and deaf little kitten to the playful chubby things they are today is just so rewarding to see and I hope other people enjoy seeing how much they’ve changed as well. I’ve done the most research I possibly can I basically just do what works for me and the babies but keep to the general things like feeding times and stuff. I feel like they may be slightly behind in their growth because they had diarrhea for a while and that’s deadly to these little guys, I kept them hydrated, warm and fed but their is just certain things I’ve seen other kittens around the same age pick up on and they’re still more reliant on the bottle which not a problem just based off research people start introducing like everything around this stage but they’re doing good really playful, eating how much they’re supposed to, going to the bathroom, I have introduced them to a littler box for a little longer than a week now and they were doing good but now they kind of just go where they want 🥲😭 and I’ve tried introducing kitty food mixed with some formula and they don’t even really smell it any advice will help and is greatly appreciated #bottlekitten #1montholdcat #kitties #orphanedkitten #mykittens #socute #cats #advice #love #kittencare
Caring for orphaned kittens can be daunting, especially when they come to you at such a young age. During their early development phase, the first two months are crucial for their growth and socialization. It’s essential to maintain a feeding schedule and provide them with necessary nutrients. While hydrating them is critical, introducing solid foods is another important step. Many owners find that by age three to four weeks, kittens can start tasting gruel—a mix of kitten food and formula. This not only helps them transition but also stimulates their interest in solid foods. If your kittens are struggling with litter box training, bear in mind that patience is key. Sometimes, engaging them with positive reinforcement when they use the litter box can encourage them to repeat the behavior. Utilizing a shallow litter box can make it easier for them as they learn the process. Lastly, observe their growth closely, and don’t hesitate to consult a veterinarian if you notice any concerning behaviors or health issues. Remember, each kitten is unique, and their journey to independence may vary greatly. You're not alone—community forums and online resources are available for additional support and advice.
