Almost exactly 48 hours between these two photos. It's amazing what meds and some supportive care will do!#FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon #StillNeedsAName

Super tempted to name the chompy kitten Dracula. Might have to be more subtle... The Count? Bram?Parade has a page of 180+ vampire-inspired baby names (???). I may have just found the theme for the litter.In the meantime, I will move the bandaids into that room.#FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon

Foster Census: 13 totalThe Snack Pack: (5) They are having a rough week, but hopefully the diarrhea meds will help soon.The Vampires + mom: (7) Doing great! Definitely some eye issues, but they are mostly weaned!Pepper: (1) We are 1 week post-surgery and I am getting worried. Vet appointment tomorrow — fingers crossed he perks up soon.#CatsOfMastodon #FosterKittensThis is Frito (of the Snack Pack).

Pepper is now getting an anti-nausea med and an appetite stimulant (plus two antibiotics, two probiotics, and fluids). He has been nibbling on his kibble today, so at least that's something.(He is also a social eater. I have to go into the room every hour and stand over him while he eats a few more pieces of kibble.)I don't know if he's going to make it, but I do know that I am giving him the best chance I can.#FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon

@Coho He is doing great! He gained a bunch of weight and starting to gain strength.Today he gets the last dose of the appetite stimulant, so we'll know in a couple days if he's officially cured.

Akasha, mother of vampires, is going back to the shelter tomorrow to get spayed and adopted. I think she's more than ready to get away from her kittens.If you know someone who is looking for a great adult cat, she should be available from the Yolo County shelter on Wednesday!Hopefully it will be easier for me to get into the room to take care of the vampire kittens without having her trying to get out...#CatsOfMastodon #Adopt

A friend came over to help socialize kittens and chat, and now all eleven kittens are sleeping, including the Snack Pack who took over my chair while I was walking her to the door.#CatsOfMastodon #FosterKittens

Yet another example of why I don't let my foster kittens run around the house: A couple of the Snack Pack have had diarrhea for three weeks. It hasn't improved on the usual meds, so the shelter had a fecal analysis done.They have Cystoisospora (coccidia), which is resistant in the environment. So I'll be bleaching the floors and furniture in my office over the weekend. A pain in the butt, but better my office than the entire house.#FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon
