Fostering 4 kittens that are 4 weeks old.

We got some kitten milk from the local pet store since they would still be nursing if the mama was still with them. Does anyone know how many times a day I should give them milk. They have other food that they are eating as well.

Call the vet to see how much milk to feed the kitties.

3. It was the closest thing I could find to look like a mama.

5. Have you ever had little ones like that? nt

[onecaliberal]

6. No. It was an emergency and they had to be removed from the situation

They were in. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life.

7. If they aren't pooping on their own, you may have to poop them.

Get a paper towel damp with warm water and rub their bottom until they poop.

8. They are definitely pooping and peeing.

9. Keep an eye and make sure everyone is every day.

14. Aw, they're so cute

I fostered four last year and loved every minute of it. One was a foster fail and is still with us.

15. My kids are so attached already. We will end up worth one of them for sure.

They’re so sweet.

16. Beautiful photograph Dawna!

I like how you posted it on Twitter, because there I enlarge the picture, see more detail. Like the kitten's eyes looking out from the "Cow basket?" Your framing and shooting down on them gives a really nice angle to see them all.

Bless your heart for being their foster mom.

17. Thank you!

This is our first time fostering. They’re all so sweet. I couldn’t let them go to a shelter.
