Maryland, anyone with bottle baby kitten foster experience?
Really looking for anyone with bottle baby experience who could take on up to 5 2-week old kittens (or two 3 week old kittens). Things with mama Shiva are just not stabilizing and she is beginning to neglect the kittens and I am going to have to step in. I am beyond capacity, overwhelmed, exhausted.

Instead, all notifications will be made on X.
