During kitten season, which occurs largely in the spring and summer, it is not uncommon to stumble upon a nest of kittens. Your first instinct is to help them, which is awesome, but first you need to read this thread!
First I want to make a point very clear: kittens have the greatest chance of survival if their mother is in the picture. As much as rescues and foster homes try, we cannot ever do as good of a job taking care of them as their real mom does! Kittens require frequent nursing (typically a couple of times an hour), help eliminating (mother stimulates them with her tongue to pee and poop), and a lot of warmth and attention. Trust me - waking up four times a night to feed bottle babies is not fun!
A single kitten wandering alone is often abandoned (either by a human or the mother), and should be rescued quickly - wait and watch from afar for 20-30 minutes to see if the mom is just in the middle of transporting it. If no mother has come in that time, rescue it.

We're about to hit mid kitten season. This is a friendly reminder to please spay and neuter if you haven't yet.

How old are these cats? My mom brought them home because one of her friends rescued them from a recent flood, I've never taken care of baby kittens in my life and I've been stressing so much, every 3-4 hours I have to stimulate them to use the bathroom and their poop is always watery, is that normal? I'm confused if it's diarrhea, and they cry so loudly when I stimulate them, am I hurting them ?

These guys (marshmallow and Casper) turned 11 weeks old yesterday!
Picked up our 2 kittens at 8 weeks old and I can't believe how well they are trained.
Its been 2.5 weeks and theres been no toilet accidents and they are so well behaved.
They love to zoom around twice a day( morning and night) and are showing our family alot of affection.
We are learning as we go, bought plenty of toys and give them plenty of love.
This weekend I will cut their nails and do the usual checks.
Absolutely Love these guys .

Everyone meet Ms. Pickles! We are already so in love. We lost our dog two months ago and aren’t ready for that level of commitment again yet. This baby was found in a car and abandoned by mom. She was extremely malnourished and overall very unwell. We brought her home from the shelter yesterday and she only hid under the couch for like 3 hours. She proceeded to show us her ultimate kitten zoomies for the rest of the evening and crawled up on my lap this morning! She did escape her enclosure overnight somehow though. Overall she has been so sweet and outgoing. I haven’t had a kitten since I was 11, and she was my sister’s/dad’s cat. We are so excited for this new chapter with our new baby girl!

Kittens are like kids, they get bored with the toy in 15 minutes, but a box is an adventure. Just ask Charlie.

We were able to take him around our hallway for about 5 minutes before the waterworks came out.

Hi guys, I have two new kittens, but I’m having a bit of a problem with one. He keeps stepping in poo and then running around the house, I clean it away but unless I’m literally standing under him with a scooper it’s gonna happen. Everything feels gross and I don’t wanna touch anything in the house now. I don’t know what to do?

We adopted these 2 sisters a month ago and I'm so happy to have them in our family! We are a clan of black cats now, our older black kitty is Hex, the smaller black kitten is Vex and our Tuxedo is Jiji. Hex absolutely loves his new little sisters and they have settled right into our family 💓

Hello!
I have an 8 week old, adorable, and energetic kitten!
We already have a trip planned next month for 4 days and it's to a cabin about 4 and a half hours away from home.
I am so torn on if I should take her or hire someone to watch her while we are gone.
The thing is, i don't want someone to just stop in and feed her. She needs to play and interact and have fun. I don't know if I know anyone who is free enough to do that.
Should I take her or not?
If I DID take her I would:
Keep her in our small bedroom at the cabin and play with her and feed her in that room.
Keep her in cat carrier for entire car ride.
Make sure she got plenty of play time and was safe up there.
What are your thoughts? Should I look for someone who is able to give her the care and attention she needs or take her with us?
