She’s so docile and sweet. We named her Juniper or Junie for short cause we found her in June ❤️

Meowdy! No updates the last couple days because I was focused on lil man developing an umbilical hernia :) neato! he's trying it all I suppose, can't miss out on a single experience. we do have a treatment plan for him, no worries. he's also playing though! it's soooo cute he always flips over to his back to fight off the mighty hand.... and eventually conk right out 😴 purrs like a lil motor boat the whole time too it's adorable.

I took out his blanket and towel from his crate to wash and put in a different blanket and he had WORDS and OPINIONS on that. I think it'll be another week if that before lil man moves up to the big boy crate! despite trying every kitten illness little man has had such a bright personality and hilarious energy, he's brought such light into my life :> See ya next time!

Meet Jupiter! When we found her in the backyard her umbilical cord was still attached. She’s our little bottle fed baby who miraculously survived. Such a little fighter, we only found her because she was screaming to high heaven under a bush. Who knew such a tiny cat could make such a loud sound. Second picture are her stand in “siblings” who kept her company. Today she is a certified diva living her best life!!!!

edit: sorry to everyone I scared thinking she died, she is very much alive and well 🙂

Micro is hanging in there. Ive been offering feedings every 1-2 hours, depending on how the previous feeding goes. I did end up tube feeding her once as it had been a while since she really suckled well. Not much of an update, but currently I’m neither more worried nor less worried about her than I was this morning.

Hey everyone! Micro is experiencing a little setback and we’re still trying to figure out what, exactly, is going on. A few days ago she had a really big poop after being constipated (a common occurrence) and, since then, hasn’t pooped, has started losing weight, and hasn’t been eating as well as she has been. I am very concerned about her as weight loss in any amount is an early sign of…something. The usual suspects would be coccidia or worms. She isn’t having diarrhea that I would expect with coccidia and she isn’t eating voraciously like I would expect with worms. We’ve started her on an antibiotic and probiotics and she got a dose of an anti parasitic. She’s still active and bright-eyed and doesn’t appear to be uncomfortable. I’ve been in frequent contact with our medical resource and am following all of her recommendations. These babies can bounce back really quickly, or…they can crash really quickly. Please know I/we are doing everything we possibly can to get Micro back on the right track to thriving again. Your support and encouragement means the world to us and we thank you for being invested in Micro’s progress and sending your love. I will update as frequently as I can.

Suprisingly big and floofy for being born 4 hours ago. However orange prefers to doze off over competing for milk now. my mom came in with food at the end so mom cat grew alert

CDS sent me a 5th cat. We’ve never had one this small, but she is bottle-feeding well and seems strong and healthy!

My partner, who found her, named her Slyder, Sly for short.

This morning Micro absolutely refused to suckle from the bottle. This prompted us to start more aggressive interventions. We gave Karo syrup orally and subcutaneous fluids. After that, Micro had a satisfactory bottle feeding. Which was certainly a relief. We can do tube feedings if we need to, but definitely prefer if she suckles on her own. Hopefully, that will be all she needs to turn the corner, but rest assured I will be focusing all my energy entirely on her and obsessing over every squeak and wiggle until she starts to gain weight again. 🤞🏻 She’s now snuggled into her makeshift incubator to warm up and rest. I’ll feed her frequently for a couple of hours to make sure she’s still vigorous. Thanks again for all your support - emotional and otherwise.

So this little one (don't let the innocent look fool you) was supposed to get some blood drawn at the vet for testing (eye infection taking a while to heal) which they couldn't do bc she tried to bite them lol.....also can she be considered SMOL since she's 3lbs now (chonky SMOL?) 🤣

(yeah, YOU😱)

Siamese kitten in corner is apparently in timeout away from siblings. I wonder what she did?

Not sure where that foot is supposed to go, tbh. ❤️

We were playing hide and seek if you’re wondering
