The kittens are 6 weeks old tomorrow!

I took the kittens in for their first exam (and their first journey outside the apartment) last weekend, and they were deemed healthy by the veterinarian. One of the vet techs saw them in the carrier and said they were "perfect". She said that they surely would have gotten sick had Matilda stayed at the ASPCA and had them in the shelter environment and not in a home. That made me feel really good about fostering Matilda and her litter. They are due back to the A in another week for more immunizations, and then I have them until they are two pounds, at which point they will be ready to be spayed or neutered, and then put up for adoption.



Inside the cattery


Robin likes that corner behind the litter box


Sometimes they fall asleep in funny positions



Robin and Lilly share some solid kitten food with MamaMatilda.
Marshall eats solid food now, too, but the other two are still resisting.
They all still nurse.
