Penny from fosterkittenhq shared a heartwarming story about six adorable kittens that were brought to a shelter clinic in Philadelphia. These little furballs were in dire need of constant attention and care since their cat mother stopped nursing and nurturing them when they were only 10 days old. Luckily, a kind volunteer took them in and bottle-fed them until they reached three weeks old. Afterwards, they were transferred to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in Virginia to continue their journey as foster kittens. The mama cat, who was too ill to care for her little ones, received medical treatment and spaying and is now on the road to recovery.
MaioriPenny, also known as Penny Richards, is a skilled foster parent working with AWLA. She recently set up a cozy space for six young kittens under her care. However, the kittens were all suckling on each other, leading to potential tissue damage. To address this issue, Penny spent a week and a half creating a feeding schedule, providing individual pens, soft blankets, and plush toys to mimic a mother cat's presence. Thanks to her efforts, the kittens have stopped their harmful behavior and are now thriving under her care.
Limoncello and LambruscoPenny from fosterkittenhq shared a delightful story about their adorable kittens. They were amazed at how quickly Maiori, the mostly-white calico kitten, transitioned from bottle-feeding to solid food. Her sister Atrani, who was also a calico kitten, followed suit shortly after. While the rest of the littermates took their time transitioning to solid food, these two adventurous kittens were not afraid to take on new challenges.
Maiori, Amaretto, and AmalfiPenny, lovingly fostered by @fosterkittenhq, have graduated to a roomier playpen now that they're more energetic and playful. Whenever their foster mom enters the room, all six kitties make a beeline for her lap and purr in chorus. They also love snoozing in a cozy pile, snuggling up and entwining their paws.
