Despite her already full hands with 16 other rescues, she couldn’t bear to leave the vulnerable kittens to fend for themselves.
“I made the decision to bring them home, fully aware that they had just reached three weeks of age and would soon be ready to begin weaning,” Shelly shared with Love Meow.
She continued bottle-feeding them for a few more weeks while introducing mixed wet food. Shelly affectionately named them Polly, Cloud, and Destiny.
Despite Shelly’s tireless efforts to save them, Destiny, the runt of the litter, sadly succumbed. Polly and Cloud, on the other hand, readily took to the bottle, eagerly filling their little bellies at each feeding.
With improved appetites and proper care, Polly and Cloud’s health gradually improved. Their eyes cleared up, their bodies grew stronger, and their energy levels soared.
“I believe I arrived just in time to prevent any lasting damage. The mother of the kittens has since been spayed, as have a few other cats from the area.”
