At Itty Bitty Kitty Committee, we call the neonatal kittens 'committee members' and we actually have a little ceremony when they graduate!
I also had to weigh the kittens every day to make sure they were gaining at least 10g a day, and I had a heated pad for them because kittens can't regulate their own body temperature. They're very susceptible to any kind of disease when they're so young, so I'm very happy that all four survived. I got them vaccinated, spayed and neutered with my own money and then adopted three out to friends. I kept one: Olive. She's like a nanny cat to other kittens now.
Itty Bitty Kitty Committee was founded in 2017 for the care of kittens less than four weeks old and is run out of my house—I even have a kitten nursery I made. I have four cats of my own and two dogs, so it's a lot of cleaning! I'll clean for two hours a day after work when I have neonatal kittens, because they are so susceptible to sickness.
I'm now in a partnership with Rebel Rescue Ranch, which is a non profit animal rescue run by an Ohio local: Amy Rigby. Itty Bitty Kitty Committee is an extension of them. She takes the kittens in at her rescue when they graduate from the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee. We call the neonatal kittens committee members and we actually have a little ceremony when they graduate! This past year alone 63 have graduated, and in total I have rescued 115 baby kittens.
I'm actually a teacher, so during the year I'm swamped at school. But kitten season typically starts at the end of May. As it's getting warmer, outdoor cats or feral cats start reproducing and people start finding kittens. It's kind of worked out for the past few years as when school is out, I start taking in neonatal kittens.Gia Deascentis
