Mom of Three
16 years ago
Dad found a small litter of kittens, one is vary thin and the other two are just slightly underweight . Their about 3-4 weeks and still nursing thou they have their front teeth, and there sharp, sadly the need to nurse is so bad the little black one is nursing off its OWN belly and limbs while its sibs try to nurse off it to, hopefully when I get them properly on a feeding schedule it will stop but if not I'm gonna have to keep them separated. ;;
Also before anyone tells me I should have left them there, I'm not going to wait till the little one gets weaker or dies before I take them. I grew up caring for kittens thou this is only my second motherless litter. Id rather take a litter of young kittens from a stray mom so they can stand half a chance to get homes then let them grow up only to be feral. The shelters around here wont take litters half the time. Hell the assholes at the closest "shelter" only take in pets that they think thy can turn a profit off of and charge more to adopt purebred types..wtf.
So I don't know if ill be taking care of them for the next few weeks till their that fluffy "TAKE ME HOME" age or if ill have to find a place to take them in..
I WANT a cat yet I don't have the funds to pay for its vet bills even if I could feed it. And getting three to the vet will cost more its it not a option seeing as their stray even if i only keep one so I dunno..I have to think on it ><

They should be ok if you get them fed and all for the next few weeks.. right? Do they need to be taken to the vet asap? I could see for the tiny skinny one but the others?
I hope this go ok. Keep us updated!
-Hugs.- If you want to, note me and we can talk about it! I love nothing more then talking about kittens, haha.
Since you took them so young they'll have the chance to be socialized and won't contribute to more homeless babies. They'll fine nice homes where hopefully they will be speutered and spoiled. :3

I'm like you, I can't say "no" to a litter in need. Goodluck, hon! and yes, please keep the kittens separated. My friend and I raised a litter that decided to nurse on each other and it caused them to have some physical problems that would have needed immediate surgery to fix. We lost half the litter. = (
