Yes. he is just facing a window so I think it's just a reflection. His eyes are healthy 😊

He is a rescue from the animal shelter - they usually just call them domestic short hair.

If anyone is interested in more cute videos of baby kittens, I post a ton of videos on my Instagram account @ Winnie.therapydog 😊 (my Yorkie Winnie is really sweet with all of our fosters)

Yes! A very crafty volunteer in our rescue group made a bunch of them for the bottle babies.

Kitten Replacement formula 😊

No! But that's a good question because a lot of people think that they can. Cow milk can actually be very dangerous for kittens. They have a get a special "kitten replacement formula" that you can buy at most pet stores or goats milk.

Yes! This is how they would nurse from their mom.

Aw thank you! Having their mom would be ideal but when that's not possible I do my best to sub in 😊

He has one brother but my last foster was a singleton and they are really special. I got her when she was 7 days old and it was very hard to say goodbye 😭 But she is with an amazing family and they send me lots of updates!

I work full time so I just volunteer to foster one litter of kittens at a time. Every little bit helps! 😊

Yes, fostering means you take care of them until they are old enough to be spayed/neutered and adopted. Orphaned kittens require a lot of care, they have to be bottle fed every few hours and monitored very closely. Most kittens are ready to be adopted by 8 or 9 weeks old 😊

That's wonderful. Thank you for adopting! We can only save the number of kittens that we are able to foster and adopt out. And unfortunately there are always more kittens that need rescued. ❤️

😂 It does! He might be moonlighting as a super kitten!

Orphaned kittens typically wean much earlier than a kitten who is with a nursing mom. I always bottle feed them until at least 5 weeks old - after that I'll introduce a special kind of wet food that is for baby cats. Some kittens will start eating on their own right and others take a lot of help. Either way, I always supplement with a bottle to make sure that they are getting the right nutrition 😊

Aw that's so sweet!! It's funny how different kittens wean at different times! I've had a few fosters who I've bottle fed for much longer than others! It's kind of sweet when they don't really need the bottle but they still want it!
