Cuteness interlude

You all like photos of foster kittens, right?


You can only see four of them there. For some reason one is always off doing something else (always a different kitten).

They are probably around three weeks old. They had not quite gotten the concept of solid food yet and were not eating well in the shelter where I was working last week, and were underweight. One of them had a bad upper respiratory infection, which was manifesting as bad conjunctivitis (inflammation around her eyes). She looks much better today after meds and someone willing to mix up juuuust the right concoction of milk replacer plus canned food.

 

It’s hard to tell in this photo, but her eyes are still pretty red. I’m not worried about her any more, though. She will do fine.
