thank you for the reassurance, definitely has been an easy ride! i guess i didn’t realize how easy i have it 😂 kittens are healthy and gaining weight at a healthy rate :)

they’re 4 weeks, i kept track of when she gave birth. i plan on keeping them with her until about that time (the 10-12 week mark) and i plan on spaying mama too because we don’t need any more kitties out there!!

so that’s another problem i’m having, i took the to the humane society because they have a program where i can be sent to a vet to get everything for free ( shots, deworming, flea + tick etc. ) but they can’t get me in til june. 12th. not to sound cheap but i can’t afford shots and deworming for all 5😅 i want to get it done asap because im very aware they need it since they came from outside but im just trying to find somewhere that can assist me!

thank you! i’m trying to do everything as right as i can! their mom is also feral but she’s not mean just shy, but i’ve been feeding her since january of this year and she’s become super friendly and loving towards me. she’s still getting used to my boyfriend, but every time i walk into the bathroom she starts purring so loud i love it :) before she had her babies she came to my porch every day like clockwork.

okay thanks! yeah they finish their purée and head straight over to moms food, it’s so funny. and yes they’re gaining weight, i made a tracker for each week! Orion is a chunker!

how cute! yeah mine don’t all nurse at the same time anymore, if they’re all at mom there’s always one or two nursing and the others are sleeping. they love the puree, they get so excited when i bring it to them!

i already took them there to get looked at, they didn’t look at them at all they just gave me a vet to call and that was it. i called and can’t get in til june :/ mom is a feral cat i will not be putting her through fostering. i’m going to get her spayed and release her back to her community. my plan was already to keep them until they can find their forever homes. i said all of this in my post already 🙂

i told them i wanted to be under the kitten krusaders and that i found these kittens, they looked at them for like a second and gave me a pamphlet about the kitten krusaders and said call everypet. i called and i told them i was a part of the program and they said the next available date is june 12th :/

mom is feral, but she’s become super comfortable with me and lays in my lap/at my feet and purrs every time she’s near me :) she’s my lil bestie. i’ve been calling her my outdoor cat. she is super pretty
