They arrived.
My first 2 babies of this season arrived yesterday afternoon. A boy not named yet and girl "Oleana" not sure how to say it or even if I spelled it right but either way both babies are in good health and are aout 3 weeks old. I don't know their story in full as far as I can remember their mom was just being to rough with them so they needed to be saved from harm. Mammals usually make the best moms, I assume she was young and maybe not mature enough to be a mommy just yet. She won't have another chance as the rescue will spay her before she is up for adoption.
They did really well through their first night, I expected them to be little menaces but it wasn't them waking me up, it was me waking them up for feeding etc. Today they have been fed about every 3 hrs and I gave them some wet food. Thankfully I remembered how messy learning to eat food kittens are and fed them in the bathtub, a super easy place to clean so them making a mess is not a ton of work.
Olean weighed 260G which was gain increase of 14 G the wee lad weighed 290 neither a gain or loss from him. However it could be that the weights are off from yesterday because I used a different scale. I will know more tomorrow about their weights.
We added a new family member just over 2 years ago, Phoebe is a hairless chinese crested and cute as heck. I introuduced her to them this morning, she loves them and wants to play with them, they are able to walk quite quickly so they have been following her around when they are out for feeds.She was super mad at me yesterday about them so I figured introducing them would make her less mad....I'm glad I did.
I will post pics of them if I can ever get them to be still enough to actually get pics that are not blurry. I will be doing my best to update abot them daily. It may be just weight posts or might be a little longer. These last 6 weeks or so have been so hard, so emotional and stressful, but rescue gives me a purpose, it gives me happiness and joy...so much happiness. I feel like me again.
