New Foster kitten is 7 weeks old and only weighs 15 oz (425 grams)
Little Wolfsbane's littermates all transferred to the Humane Society today, but Wolf was not accepted due to his size and how frail he is. His aggressively feral mother has stopped feeding them and she is getting spayed tomorrow, so he's come home with me to be fostered.
I don't have a sense yet of whether he's eating solid food--it's so hard to tell when there's 6 kittens and the mother is lunging at the kennel every time you get close, so I've got pureed food and goat milk ready.
Any recommendations for a kitten who is so small for gestational age? He also seems to developmentally be closer to 3 or 4 weeks. I have him in a kennel with a heating pad, and I have a tiny kennel in my room in case he needs to be fed round the clock. I don't usually take bottle babies, although I've had pretty good success with kittens in the 4 week range.
