This is my boy Elroy. He was 3 weeks when I got him. Super dehydrated, goopy eye, and covered in fleas. He was on fluids, high calorie gel, fortiflora, formula, and had eye cream. We did our best but unfortunately it just wasn't enough. He passed away this morning but all night he got skin to skin care and never knew a moment alone. My mother held him as he took his last breath and he passed peacefully.

We loved you so much Elroy and we know in our hearts that you felt that love. We know in our hearts that we did everything we could for you but it still hurts to know you are gone. We will miss you and your funky meow. Have fun across that rainbow bridge and say hi to Oreo and Chevy for me.

Pick up these little guys yesterday and was told they eat on their own. Unfortunately every time I feed them all they do is scream and don't understand what food is. The shelter isn't answering and I feel like I am doing something wrong. I have tried the finger trick and I have tried a bottle but they just wiggle away and scream. Not sure what to do as I have never had kittens that just refuse to eat before.

Do you ever introduce your fosters to each other? I have 3 four week old kittens and 2 five week old kittens. I am keeping the separated as I just got the litter of 4 week olds I just wondered if they could be mixed or just keep them separated?

Also the box is temporary while I set up their playpen for there stay.
