New tiny kitten

[Fatiguedwithlife]

Hello! We have acquired a teeny kitten (supposedly 9 weeks old) but she’s the runt and is very small.
i haven’t weighed her, we only got her today.
We’ve kitten proofed the lounge and are keeping the dog and the other cat away.
She has one snotty eye which I’m cleaning every couple of hours with cooled saline solution
I’ve bought kitten milk and dry and wet food (the same as she was having where she came from).
Shes done a wee and a loose poo in the litter tray and mostly slept. She wasn’t interested in the food or water or saucer of milk so I syringed about 5ml warm kitten milk into her and that woke her up a bit. she then ate a little wet food.

are we doing the right things?

So cute and she’s looking so well .

Squeeeeeee!

Never apologize for posting photos this cute! Thank you for the updates, I'm so happy she is doing well!

I haven’t been accidentally given a cat for far too long. Hmm. 🤔
Penny does look well. One of my accidental acquisitions years ago used to suck on my shoulder. We think she was taken from her mum too young.

When you compare the early photos where she looks bewildered and unsure of herself to the new ones where she is very much "Yes , new boss in town. Settle down now "

She’s looking amazing!

Thanks for the updates and photos. She’s gorgeous

Back to work today (had 6 lovely days off!) and she seems to sense it, crying when I went upstairs this morning. She’s sitting on me now.
Shall I ring in sick? (kidding, obviously wouldn’t do that!)

I foster kittens and she looks about 8/9 weeks to me. She will be ok. Lots of fresh food and water and leave kitten kibble down and she will soon plump Up.

She is so
Pretty. Love a calico

Get her jabs done asap too. X

Such a dainty little kitty!

I am so invested in your story Penny is just gorgeous.

This could go on a greetings card, what a gorgeous picture! Agree with @70isaLimitNotaTarget about her growing confidence, it's so lovely to see!
Well done to you and your lovely caring family ❤️

You are doing such an amazing job with her - she's gorgeous and looking incredibly well compared to just a few days ago.

Awwwwwwwwwww
shes so cute! And lucky to have found such lovely mums

Beautiful little thing 💕💕💕 is she feeding independently now or does she need someone to feed her regularly? I don’t blame you for wanting to call in sick.

I think you should be allowed to send that photo in a get another week off.

660g today! She’s playful now, eating independently but I prompt her regularly

Get her some springs from Amazon, they’re so light and catch in their murder paws then bounce all over the place. Cats absolutely love them and they’re super cheap.

What a lovely little “news” story amongst all the sadness in this world. Well done OP. This thread made me so happy.

Or a ' mews' story @GrethaGreen 😂😻

Beautiful Bae

Look at her big round tummy now! Well done OP, she’s beautiful and looks very happy.

Oh she is so lovely, and looks so well. Thank you for being so kind to her @Fatiguedwithlife 😍

The late cheddar absolutely adored these. They were the only toy she played with.
