ive adopted 2 kittens 12weeks old 1 kitten eats great /the other kitten dont eat at 1st it licks its food when she eats she eats very little what can i get 2 make her eat
My 3 week old kiten is doing the same thing,ok, but not gaining any weight.
Vet today. 8/17. Tried bottle feeding it with cat milk replacement formula, wouldnt take it. Lapped a very timy bit. I have read at about 3 wks they learn to lap. Put the formula milk on a heavy paper plate and get its paws wet, rub some on its mouth. Try alot, eventuall they learn to lap. Got 2 lappers in my 4 kit litter. Best wishes. I am going through the same thing. Just read your early blog. I own Himalayans.

aw...
I understand how you feel. One can't help but to get attached to those animals. He'll be ok, and someone will definitely adopt him and he will go on to living in a good, loving home :-)

Feels strange not having the 4 babies around. I especially miss Sky, partly because I had him the longest, and partly because he has those expressive eyes that told me he wasn't happy when I left him. The 3 smaller ones are still together, but Sky was put in one of the fancy tower cages out front in the adoption area with 2 other kittens that were strangers to him. He is very adaptable though, so I am sure he is buddies with them by now.
Yes, fostering is very rewarding, as is all of the work I do as a volunteer for shelters. It's a bit sad when I have to take them back and when we occasionally have to put an animal down. But the up sides are so much greater.
Hi Nancy, I wasn't able to bring up your link either so I'm glad you posted the pics here. The kittens are precious and little Jess is looking so good. Yours has been an exciting story with a happy ending.
Fostering must be the most rewarding experience. And yes, Sky will be snapped up in a heartbeat...she is absolutely Darling.
