I'll try to do the antibiotics that you shoot in their mouth when Mom gets home. Those are only done twice a day. And I can't hold the kitten and shoot the antibiotics in his mouth.
Thank you so much, young lady (I am guessing you are a lady although you never specified your gender. I apologize if I am incorrect) for all the love, time, and attention you have given those kittens!!!!!!!!

Yes, I am a young lady. I'm 19.

The kittens got their eye ointment and antibiotics a few minutes ago. I went out about 3. The kittens were playing, but I didn't want to grab them at that point because momma was right there. She saw me and meowed, but she didn't hiss. So a little after 4 I brought them in two at a time to get their antibiotics and eye ointment. My mom helped a lot, too. She gives them the medicine while I hold them. The kittens are actually very cooperative.

Thanks for keeping us posted. And thanks to your mom and the anonymous donor(what a kind heart!). We are all so invested in this outcome it seems. I am anxious to see their pics when their eyes are clear. I hope this forum has given you some support and encouragement as well!

Happy to report that they have all had their meds today!

Runt chased a bee. Fortunately it didn't sting her. Runt also runs to me when I call her, she follows me when I leave, and she likes to play with my legs. Sometimes it hurts. I don't mind too much, though.

I guess they don't like their medicine. I put them back in the shed after they had their meds and 3 of them immediately went to bathing themselves. I'll try to have more kitty pics up tonight.

The Profile:








Kittens won't get their meds tomorrow. We're going on an overnight trip. Mom will probably get home just before we leave, so she won't have time to help me with their meds. They will get their meds Saturday night, though.

Wow, their eyes are clearing so fast! Good job

Do you have any homes lined up yet? If I lived nearby, I would love to take one. Their gray coats are lovely. Oh, and you take great pictures, there is nothing like beautiful scenery with kitties in the shot.

You are doing such a great thing! I know my DD is your age and would do the same.

They are looking so healthy, happy, and clean! Lovely pics of them. Just imagine their fate if you had not decided to help them. This is your tribute--their little lives. I sure hope they get good loving homes.

Wow, they look so much better! You're doing a great thing by taking such good care of them. I hope you can make arrangements for Resilientsmile to adopt one of them -- that would be so cool!

I might have homes for two of them, not sure yet. Someone at church needs a mouse killer. Another couple at church isn't sure yet.

Just got home from the trip a couple hours ago. I went out there and said, "Where's my kitties?" and I see these little fuzzy things come running toward me. They missed me.
