Kitten Update 🐾
Unfortunately, 2 of the kittens failed to thrive. They were very small, struggled to latch, and even with kitten formula and round-the-clock support, they didn’t grow in those first crucial 48 hours. 💔
I threw everything I know at it. With my experience around kitten birth and care, I was watching closely, supporting feeds, keeping them warm, doing everything I possibly could… but sometimes, despite all of that, their little bodies just aren’t strong enough.
It’s one of the hardest parts of this — knowing it’s not for lack of care, and still not being able to change the outcome.
I spent every moment with them.🐾
Sadly, this is part of nature, and why animals have larger litters… but that doesn’t make it any easier to sit with.
If I’m honest, I feel a bit lost. The past few months have been filled with so much loss, and this has just added another layer to it 😔
But alongside that… we have 3 strong, healthy kittens who are feeding well, content, and doing exactly what they should be doing. And right now, that’s where I’m gently trying to place my focus. 💕
Holding both at once — the grief of what’s been lost, and the care for what’s still here.
Thank you to those who’ve checked in, it really does mean a lot 🤍
