Homeward Pets

If you adopted one of these kittens, please post an update on how they are doing in the comments section of one of the blog entries. We are fostering out kittens from Homeward Pets.

Days 11-15 - Now It's Two Weeks

On Tuesday we took the foster kittens to the vet. Marvel was 1lb 1oz, Max was 1lb 14oz, and the other two (Smudge and Emmy) were in-between. We were given antibiotics to administer twice a day for possible head-cold/infection.

They continue to have daily play time outside of their room. They've been curious about house plants and electrical cords, so we've had to keep a close eye on them.

They also are still getting along with our own pets, but we never leave them together unsupervised. One of our cats (Bindi) was playing with Max earlier today and we couldn't really tell if she was cleaning or biting him, but Max kept purring! Even though Max is a lot bigger then his siblings, they all still play together. Even Marvell has started playing "rough" with the rest of them.

Occasionally the kittens still get "poopy paws", but that has been happening less often. Nevertheless, kitten care involves a LOT of cleaning. For example, we clean the litter box at least 4-5 times per day and we have to sweep/clean the floor multiple times per day.

It will be sad to see them go once they're big enough to go back to the shelter, but it will also be a bit of a relief from all the pet care involved.
