Kitten Update

Amber and Goldie are doing fabulously, but they're not with us anymore.  We miss them a lot.

Sleepy girls on Sunday evening


All last week, despite being playful and relatively active, the little gals were not gaining weight and having a lot of trouble with diarrhea.  I was reassured that I was doing a good job with them, but by Monday when they'd finally started gaining weight but still struggling with "the runs", I asked their other foster Mama to take them back.  She's a certified vet tech and is really experienced with little ones.  I wanted to be completely sure that they were getting the best care possible so that they could join their new family this weekend as planned.

And, sure enough, I think it was the best choice.  We got to see them yesterday and, with their systems are still a bit out of whack, they're growing and happy and playing with their sister Cheeto.  Below you'll see a "kitten pile" in my arms of four fantastic kittens.

Wednesday evening: Amber on left, Cheeto in front on right, Goldie just behind her, and little Rusty in back
It was wonderful to have them in my arms again.  Those babies are awfully special!  We met Cheeto for the first time, and she's just as delightful and loving as her sisters.  Their new family is going to be so happy with them!!!

I'll put up another post with lots of adorable kitten pictures and a video clip or two...
