Officially a proud owner of a dumpster kitten!

She was found under a dumpster behind our clinic with a few siblings. One of my coworkers took the orange and named him Apollo, so naturally I had to name her Artemis! (And the other kittens have homes too). Taking her to the vet soon and then gonna introduce her to our other cat Mildew

Yer gonna post pics of the introduction to Mildew (along with an explanation for that name), right?

He started getting bullied by the other cats he was living with so we got him now. We thought mildew would be a silly name for a cat so now that’s his name (his deadname was mulligan)

Yeah, that name had to go. Cool that you seem to like rescuing underdogscats!

Perfect. He gets a do-over with a new name.

The only way to make it is to shake it.

Shake it.

And that’s what I do.

I shake it.

Or:

He was gonna find out anyway.

Tiny kitty 🥰 hope she is healthy and gets along well with your other cat. And that you post more pictures of them

Dumpster kitten princess.

Ftfy. Also the fuck is up with your scale? Is that grams ounces. Can't be grams.

Remember to target 10-12g of weight gain per day. Feeding every 3-4 hours. Hope she doesn't have latching issues. Faster you can get into solid food the better if can.

lefty7283@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 20h (2 replies)

¯_(ツ)_/¯ it’s set to grams I guess?

Were guessing she’s about 5 weeks old. Shes having no issues with wet and dry cat food, apparently the kittens and mom were being fed regular cat food in the days before we got them

Have you looked into TNR organizations in the area? Mom may already be pregnant again.

Half a kilo kitten seems about right?

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3h (1 reply)

Yeah I just don't get what units it's in. Decigrams?

anarchy79@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 45m

Grams, it says if you zoom in, the "g" is in an unfortunate position making it look like a comma.
