Today is a big day for Ms. Cleo! She will be starting gruel (Royal Canin Mother & Babycat wet food mixed with B.E formula). She has all of her baby teeth, I checked this morning and saw and felt her premolars and saw all of the front teeth.
Her eyes are changing color this week, which should mean she is about 7 weeks old.
I have had one heck of a time trying to pinpoint her age. Her physical age doesnt match developmental age.
I need to move her into a bigger kennel set up so she can play with toys more and so I have room to place dry food and water in the kennel for her to introduce it.

Last week, I asked the vet to check Ms. Cleo's teeth because they didnt seem right for a 5 week old . She said developmentally, Cleo is about 3.5-4 weeks old, even if she is physically 5 weeks old (my best guess based on when teeth first started coming in).
Yesterday, she was moved from the incubator to a kennel. My husband made me panels to prevent her from squeezing out of the kennel. She can see through them and they are very easy to clean and disinfect.
She walks like a 3 ishweek old, wobbly and unsure, but is getting steadier. She weighs 13.4ozs! When she came to me on June 1st, she was 2.9ozs.
I did give her a round of clavamox because she was not eating and starting to fade and it helped immensely! We had a huge turn around-she wanted to eat and started steadily gaining, about an ounce a day! Yesterday was day 14 of antibiotics, so I hope everything is good now.

Tiny Ms. Cleo, chilling outside of the incubator for awhile. She enjoyed watching new things. Grunkle even cleaned her scruffy little head.
Her fur is always mussed up.

Ms. Cleo is 8 ounces!! She is 4 weeks old and is doing really well. She is wobbly walking around her incubator and a lot more alert and loves being held. She has the sweetest purrs.
She no longer fully fits in one hand.

Ms. Cleo now weighs 7.3ozs and is eating more. She started declining a few days ago, so I started her on antibiotics and they have helped a lot.
She gained an ounce in a day.

Terrible picture, but Ms.Cleo is about 3 weeks. She is 6 ozs and still super, super tiny. She doesnt feel boney or underweight. She just feels tiny sized. She is getting a kitten belly. She is getting her teensy teeth in, I checked today and felt them erupting through the gums.
She has ringworm on her head and elbow joint. I am treating her with cream right now.

Miles Finch, Myst, and Gandalf are available for adoption. The adoption fee is $150. It includes vaccines and dewormer. It also covers the cost of spay/neuter and rabies when 4/5 months old at the vet I use.

Sweet Cleo's eyes opened yesterday. She weighs 3.2ozs today and I am thinking she is at least a week old. She feels like a newborn though.

Sooo... It's a girl! I was wrong on the s*x. I did a quick check upon intake and immediately stuck the baby in to warm up last night. I double checked today. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Her name is Cleo. One of my kids' friends picked the name.
We think her date of birth was yesterday-June 1st, 2025. She is a smidge premature.

New intake- male, 2.7ozs. about 3-5 days old maybe. I said 5 days old, but may be 3ish days.
Came in cold but active and rooting around. He received honey water, just a smidge, and spent an hour in the incubator before he was warm enough to feed.

Banana for scale.

Miles Finch running amok, Gandalf striking a tinder pose, and Myst climbing her way to the top of the stairs.
They are almost 7 weeks old.

On May 5th, I was asked for help with 5 kittens that someone had found and hadnt been able to feed for about 3.5 days.
I lost two from the litter- Asher and Bernie. Their systems didnt come back and work and they faded. Asher is the orange collar baby eating off a bottle, it was the only good pic I got of her before she declined.
The three that are left; Myst, Gandalf, and Miles Finch will transfer to a bigger rescue when weaned.
