Re: We have a new house-guest!


You must be exhausted- take care of yourself too.

Poor wee soul, at least he has a chance now.

Re: We have a new house-guest!


I did get a bit of a telling off from the midwife this morning I admit! I had a half day today so got a nap this afternoon and I will be careful. We have lots of people willing to take him overnight so I can get some sleep if I need, although I've never been good at handing 'my babies' over to anyone else!
His coat is starting to grow now-I did wonder if he was maybe slightly early as he was fairly bald over his legs and chest and the coat is looking a lot more shiny I've started to gradually switch him over to the royal canin kitten milk as I much prefer that to lactol.
Worked out today that he is my 17th foster/hand reared baby (mostly kitties but a few pups too)

Glad you are taking care of yourself Liz and that others are able to help out with Kit. Glad to hear he's still hanging in there and that his coat is growing, which must be a good sign.

Re: We have a new house-guest!


What a kind thing to do (although I think any cat person would try to do the same thing) Luckily you have experience I'd have to keep him by me 24/7. He looks to have lovely face markings. Look forward to seeing what he looks like when he's a big boy.

Re: We have a new house-guest!


What a fab story Liz but yes, I agree with my midwife chum take care of number 1! You will need your sleep and this little one will be disrupting that for some time yet. I do admire your skill and compassion though, only you could do this and be the proud 'mum' to so many tiny babies who wouldn't be here without you.

He looks divine though and yes, I've never seen such a small kitten. Beautiful

Re: We have a new house-guest!


I'm so sorry everyone but I lost the little guy this afternoon He just faded after being so strong for his 3 and 6am feeds, we tried everything possible but in the end I had to help his little soul over the bridge.
I have been beating myself up about it all afternoon, trying to think about what I could have done differently, with lots of tears, but I think he was just too little.
Never gets any easier

Re: We have a new house-guest!


I am so, so sorry. You did everything you possibly could - and more - you gave him every chance, but I did wonder as he was just so tiny, you tried, that's as much as anyone could have done, but the odds were against you. Don't beat yourself up. Take care xx
