I had a couple inquires about bottle feeding the kittens and, yes, I've been stepping in to do what I can... more than I probably should be doing.

My mom came over and helped me give both kittens and the mom a bit of iv fluids. It's actually a big lump of fluid via needle pushed into the nape just under the skin. Not so easy to do on the mama cat and I won't be trying that again!

I've been bottle feeding every two hours. One kitten is not having anything to do with it and turning into skin and bones and the other kitten is taking to the bottle well.

After a full 24 hours of this, I have realized this is just too much to take on. Jason is out of town and getting up every two hours at night was doable last night but not for long term.

I've called in the reserves! My sister is picking them up and taking over. Hopefully she can get the mama cat to eat, take the sickly kitten to be euthanized (if it doesn't die today...it probably will) and see how long she can keep this other little one going.

Whew! I hate to call it quits but it's not what I signed up for at all. I had no idea all my kittens would turn out this way:(

not looking so good...

Isaac takes a feed and does surprisingly well!
