Hi Cassandra, I can answer some of these questions, since my group specializes in neonatal kittens.
This is a really good handout I give to all our volunteers: http://www.carepets.org/catsub/cat_pdf/newbornhandbook.pdf It depends on how old they are how often you need to feed them. If they are 1 day-1 week old, then yes, they need to be fed every couple of hours. As they age, the time between feedings can get longer. If you are lucky you can sneak them to work with you:) On 6/26/07, C & J <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
What worries me, is this mom is used to farm life, and for starters, may not even want to live with us. If she abandons her babies by being moved here (I would lock her in a room with them, but she still could abandon them), I don't know that I am able to feed the babies, both my husband and I work mon-fri, 8 hours a day. We live 20-25 min drive away from work outside of the city. It is possible to come home at lunch time, but that gives us only 10-15 mins to feed the babies. How often do babies need to eat? Isn't it every couple of hours? And how long do they need to eat that frequently. I could probably take a few days off work to look after them, but do they need to eat that frequently for a whole 4 weeks? I really know nothing about looking after baby kittens. I just don't want to do more harm than good here. Cassandra
