We are fostering another kitten. Got this one a week ago. A fellow
brought it to the shelter. It seems that mama cat had a litter on the
roof of his house. She managed to get all the kittens down, but this
little one fell off the roof. The fellow had 3 dogs who were hovering
over the tiny kitten, so he rescued it and gave it to the mom who
rejected it.

He took it to the shelter on the day that DH volunteers there. DH called
me and I came to see it. Again, it was either foster it, or it goes over
the Rainbow Bridge, as it's too young for shots.

I took it home last Wednesday. It weighed 8 ounces. Today it weighs
over 11 ounces. It is starting to get some teeth.

I have made it "gruel" from softened and mashed kitten kibble and canned
kitten food mixed with kitten formula. it is not interested in food
even if we put it on our finger tips and try to feed it that way. All
it wants to do is nurse.

I would appreciate any suggestions as how to wean this little cat.
