Sissy's babies will soon be 8 weeks old! They are at a very hilarious age right now, constantly hyper, chasing each other around the room, playing with everything they encounter. Their mama stays hidden in the donut cubby thing we have in our kitten room. But they can climb and get to her wherever she is, much to her chagrin. She gets little peace these days. 😸
Watching her gain her freedom back after her spay appointment on July 3rd, when we release her back to her colony, will be so rewarding. She's only a little over a year old, so she has a long life ahead of her.
Two of her kittens are already spoken for, the other 2 will be listed on July 4th!

Stormy and Foggy are 5 weeks old today! They run and play with each other and the older kittens, play with toys, wrestle and play fight, have started grooming themselves, and are fully litter box trained. I've offered them wet food that has been thinned with kitten formula, but they aren't interested just yet. It won't be long, though, we imagine. They are very interested and watch the older kittens eat. When we list them for adoption sometime in early July, they will be listed together. They are a bonded pair, the only 2 of their litter, and must be adopted together. Adopting a pair of kittens is so much better for everyone involved. They will keep each other entertained, and they will be a comfort to each other. I have 4 cats, 3 of which are siblings, and it's been so perfect that I will never adopt a single kitten away from their siblings ever again.


This is why it's so awesome to adopt siblings. My sweet girls are so bonded. ❤️ ❤️

Foggy and Stormy are growing up! As of yesterday they are 3 weeks old, and they are mostly up on all fours, just still a little wobbly.

This is the first time we have had to care for kittens that need to be exclusively bottle fed, so it makes me feel good that they are thriving and gaining weight. In just another week we can slowly start introducing them to wet food.

And boy are they vocal! Once I am in the room they start mewing their little heads off! Very healthy lungs on those two. 😸😹

Hi everyone!

Purr and Pounce is really in need of supplies! The top things we keep running out of fast is cat litter, kitten formula, wet kitten food, and dry kitten food. But anything purchased from our Amazon wishlist (link in comments) that is listed as highest priority would be a huge relief and greatly appreciated, by us and these babies. Thanks so much in advance, and thanks to everyone who has helped us in the past month. 😸❤️

In order, Oscar (who is a girl, I have now confirmed), and the boys, Simba, Casper, and Gus.

Sissy's babies are doing well! The boys have grown rapidly, and Oscar is healthy but will hopefully catch up, as her brothers are double her weight! Oscar only weighs a little bit more than the 2 week old newborns we are fostering. But boy, is she feisty! They are all starting to eat dry kitten food. We didn't introduce them to it, they just started nibbling on their own. That's our cue to start giving them wet food. They are all familiar with the litter box and have started occasionally using it!

We introduced the newborns to Sissy, and she immediately took on the role of their surrogate mother. The older kittens took it all in stride!

They are all very active and playful, and they wrestle with each other. They are not quite interested in toys yet, but we're offering them plenty.

These babies are just a tad bit dramatic when being weighed. 🎭
Stormy and Foggy are doing great! Their eyes were fully open today! We believe they are both female, and they are very active and vocal, as you can see. 😂
They will be 2 weeks old this Thursday.
I put them with our mama cat, Sissy, this afternoon and Sissy immediately started grooming and stimulating them. She was completely willing to let them nurse on her, but I think they don't know how yet, since they have been bottle babies for most of their 2 week lives. So we will continue to be on bottle duty until they figure it out. We're just happy they are getting some TLC from a real mama cat. Updates on Sissy's 4 babies tomorrow!

Gus, Simba, Casper, and Oscar are doing fantastic! They are starting to look like little cats. 😻

They are on all four legs now and no longer have that newborn wobble. Their mama, Sissy, is feeding them well and they have plumped up! Sissy enjoys a non stop supply of high calorie kitten food, wet and dry, and she eats alot! She's also a little less anxious when we are in the room.

Simba, the little orange guy, has used the litter box already. Just a tiny bit of p*e but he did it! I couldn't believe my eyes! The others are showing interest in the litter box box, too. They are also showing interest in Sissy's food and I have seen them attempt to take bites.

This Saturday, they will be 4 weeks old!
