I work for an all cat hospital and yesterday a family brought in three 1 day old kittens that they found in a parking lot. I am now bottle raising them-and what a chore that is. I was so worried about them last night and if they would even make it through the night. When they came in they were frozen little ice cubes and starving-not good for such little bitty guys. I was up every 2 hours feeding them and keeping them warm and now they are fat bellied little guys, and seem to be doing great. Although they are still not out of the woods. I am planning on keeping them here to bottle raise and when they are old enough they will go back to the vet and be put up for adoption. They are soo little and cute-we already have a weakness for kitties since we have 9, but these guys are gonna make a few families soo happy in about 2 months. Eveyone keep your fingers crossed that they make it throught the next 48 hours and keep gaining weight so they can be happy, healthy, fat little kittens!!! | ||

Good luck!  When I was a kid, I bottle-raised 6 2-day old kittens after their mother was killed. One died within the first few days, but the rest did wonderfully, and my family kept one as our pet for many, many years. It was a ton of work, especially the first several weeks, but a great experience and really fun once you got past the no-sleep part (huh, this is starting to sound a lot like raising little humans  ). | ||
