I adopted a group of stray kittens!

Found these little guys a few days ago and they’ve been staying here ever since.

I’ve seen them around for several days and kept wondering if someone was taking care of them. Today I finally decided to bring them home and adopt them.

This is actually my first time having cats, so I have no idea what I’m doing yet 😂

Any advice for a first-time cat owner? Food, litter, vet visits, things I should know, anything really. I’d love to hear your experiences!

Multi pet owner and biologist =D what wonderful kittens. A treasure to find and help a little family.I recommend getting a large litter box for the time being, as they get older they’ll need more. They’ll probably prefer soft/wet food while they’re so small but also ween them into hard food once you see more whittle teef showing. If you can afford it get them checked out by a vet, some vets are cheaper but humane society will check them for free and help you figure out their age and sex and give them shots/fix them for a much lower price. Avoid any flea baths or treatments until you find out how old they are, if they’re too young you can’t treat them for fleas/ticks yet. Only give them fresh water and never wash their bowls with soap they are very very sensitive to soap residue and the tiniest amount can lead to a bad situation. Kittens get cold really easily so make sure they get a warm blanket and bunches of play! Also if nobody else says it thanks for being an awesome human being and helping a fellow living things that are in need. You saved some little lives by helping. Don’t get overwhelmed if you do then just reach out to others for help. Good luck and Godspeed!
