Yesterday, with my husband’s help, our 8 kitten foster crew were all photographed, gendered, and weighted.

Everyone’s weight seemed within a healthy range. It’s super important to get a kittens weight so you can monitor how they are doing. I will weigh them all again within a day or so and make sure they all are gaining. Which I’m really hopeful is the case as everyone is eating well, and though they’ve all had a bit of loose stool it doesn’t seem to be getting worse. It may end up being simply the stress of the move that has upset their tummies. Though they all will be getting panacur and pyrantel for parasite treatment.

I’m learning by the day with my first semi spicy kittens.

Meet Virginia “Ginny”

I’ll admit it was basically love at first sight with this little one. 🥰 She has the cutest little pug face.

Ginny is our smallest little kitten, weighing in at 27.85 ounces or 1.7 pounds. Ginny was likely born March 18th. That makes her 9 weeks. She’s on the tail end of healthy range for her age and gender – however given she came from a home with 4 adult cats and 8 kittens eating together at meal time I’d say she’s doing well. She’s one of my 2 most ferocious eaters.

More of the crew to follow in next post….
