Friends on First

Say hello to our newest fosters Cleo (tabby) and Jefferson (black). These siblings came from the same backyard breeder that our previous foster Flux came from so they are likely from the same parents. Like Flux, they arrived infested with fleas so they immediately got a bath and numerous comb throughs with a flea comb. However unlike Flux, these babies were far too young to be away from their mother. We were told they were 9 weeks but going by their teeth and weight, they were likely about 4-5 weeks old.

We noticed in particular that Cleo's eyesight wasnt as developed as Jeff's though it should continue improving as she grows. Jeff weighed about 580g when we took him in whereas Cleo only weighed 420g! These cuties are by far the smallest fosters I've had but it's so amazing to watch them grow more every day with Jeff having gained about 160g and Cleo gaining 90g in the past week. We are now feeding them separately to ensure Cleo gets enough food.

These special babies will not be ready for new homes for another few weeks as we work on getting them to healthy weights and being fully litter trained. In the meantime, their confidence is growing every day and they now love zooming around the living room and learning how to play with their toys. We'll also be continuing to socialize them with Rosie and the resident cats as well as strangers so they can be confident in their future homes.
