Default Introducing Sam ...

Got a call early yesterday morning that a friend found a small kitten on her porch, so I went over and got him. What I found was a baby that was only a few hours old, no siblings in sight and the mom had not been around for several hours. He was freezing and hungry when I got to him. Warmed him up and started giving him kitten replacement milk. So far he is eating like a champ! My daughter and I are taking turns feeding him. At this age they have to eat every 2 hours.

We have named him Sam. . Kittens this young can be really tough to keep going when there is no mom, he could use all the good thoughts anyone can muster to send to him


Introducing for the first time ...... Sam
Sam

Ah! Just the cutest!

We had a similar thing happen, mom abandoned her babies, three of them. It was a lot of hard work, but a great experience

Good luck!

The poem Joeffry by Christopher Smart comes to mind. Here's a couple lines:

For there is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest.
For there is nothing brisker than his life when in motion....

Sending you and your daughter best wishes for each vigil. Stamina for you guys and strength for him...that is sweet, adorable him.

I am lucky that my daughter is helping me with this. I can nap during the day while she takes over and then she gets to sleep thru the night (hmphhh not really fair sounding)

It doesn't look it, but this guy is a pig and really loves his milk.

God Love You, around 3am I was giving thanks that it is just one and not more that are here. One is enough!! It will be worth it, once I can catch up on my sleep again!!
