Our go-to resource for kitten care is the KittenLady, Hannah Shaw. She has a variety of videos, webinars, testimonials, and recommendations for just about any topic on kitten care. We highly recommend you watch her free, 4-part webinar series on kitten care HERE. She also has a wonderful kitten care book, Tiny But Mighty, that can be purchased on her website. It is an excellent resource. Find more at www.kittenlady.org.
Kittens need to be weighed often. They can be wrapped in a blanket and weighed on a regular kitchen food scale. Be sure to zero the scale with the weight of the blanket and bowl beforehand. Weigh kittens over 1 pound in pounds and ounces. Weigh kittens under 1 pound in grams. Buy a digital scale on Amazon Smile...
Print a copy of our cat/kitten log to keep up with your foster's weight and medications.
Print a copy of the kitten instructions that will go home with your kitten's adopter. Please fill out your kitten's information. Please fill out one for each kitten.
