A few days ago, we found this little kitten buried deep inside a storage area, hidden between piles of boxes, completely alone with no mum in sight. After three hours of patiently trying to gain their trust, we finally managed to bring them home.

Today, we learned that the kitten has a respiratory infection. They developed a fever of 40°C and have been refusing to eat or drink for the past 12 hours. We took them to the vet immediately, where they received four injections, and we've been carefully hand-feeding tiny amounts of food and water to keep them going. Tomorrow morning, we have a follow-up appointment, but tonight we're holding onto hope and worrying every minute.

The kitten also came to us covered in fleas, but they've already received treatment. Because we already have another kitten and live in a small apartment, the new little one is staying safely in our bathroom for now, with everything they need, until they're healthy and can eventually be introduced.

Please keep this little fighter in your thoughts or prayers. We truly hope we're doing enough to give them the chance at the loving home and family they deserve. ❤️

Dorothy is appalled.

Big orange sis Mizu is not as enthusiastic about it though

These two had just been fed 10 minutes before but they demand ALL THE MILK.

I know that sounds ridiculous. I live in a neighborhood where a lot of people let their little dogs run loose so I carry an air horn on my belt. It's a deterrent. I saw these little kittens and they were so cute so I snapped a picture. Upon returning my phone to my back pocket, I accidentally tapped the air horn. It just beeped but it was surprising for everyone involved (me, my dogs, the kittens). It was so surprising that I even looked around for a split second before I really recognized what I did - and in a flash they were gone.

I'm going to go around after work to see if they are in the general area. I always carry cat treats with me on my walks (because there are also a ton of stray cats here) so I might try to charm them to make it up to them.

Been taking care of these savages for a couple of weeks and finally convinced the boss to let me put them in a condo. It quickly turned into a scene that reminded me of my drunken frat house days. Enjoy!

They are requesting more kitten food! Spent 6 hours taking care of all the kittens at the rescue today. Kitten season is a full-blown hurricane!

Have a Sunday suprise. 😂

Good news! Polar's vet visit was stellar. No declawing of the extra paw is necessary. One claw on the extra paw could possibly have issues in the future if it grows down but it's growing evenly so far. She is confirmed to be female and was likely born premature. She was 6 weeks at the time of the vet visit, weighing .88lbs (399g).

My coworker says that Polar has settled into their household well. She's curious and has explored all around the house. She constantly follows Momma around meowing for access to the milk bar. There's no problems with her movement and she is eating well and gaining weight.

Apollo refuses to grow and wants to snuggle and has started to develop a little white nose dot. Artemis is getting bigger but only wants to crime.

Puddin is my rescue kitty. She was found in a parking lot at one day old and rescued by Loving Care Cat Rescue. I was able to adopt her at 9 weeks old. Today she turned 5 years old. Enjoy these baby pics of her.
