Introducing the fish kitten 🐠 litter! These guys had an incredibly rough start to life, but are strong little fighters 💪 Meet:
Tuna — a gorgeous flame point male who purrs the second you touch him! He’s the second smallest of the group, weighing just 190 grams.
Marlin — the biggest of the group (250 grams)! This pointed boy arrived in the worst shape of them all. I’m truly amazed that he pulled through!
Ahi — a soon-to-be (I think) fluffy orange boy 🧡 and the second biggest at 245 grams. It took him a minute to figure out the bottle, but now he’s the best eater of the crew!
Guppy — the only girl, which makes sense because she’s itty bitty; just 175 grams! Prior to coming to me, she had a stint in the ER because she wasn’t doing well. Luckily, she bounced back and is making great gains!
Welcome, kittens babies, I can’t wait to watch you grow

One of my favorite parts of fostering is seeing the hard work and supportive care transform a kitten — this before & after happened in just 48 hours 🙀 I think it’s safe to say Marlin is staring to look like a real kitten!

Choose your fighter! 🐱 Which kitten has the cutest suckle: Tuna, Ahi, Guppy, or Marlin??

The level of cute aggression these kittens bring out in me is dangerously high 😆 It should be illegal to be this adorable!!!
Caption this photo of Tuna 🤣 I’ll start: “I *said* no pictures!!!”
Bathing the fish 🐠 litter! Note: while older kittens and adult cats typically don’t need baths, young kittens without a mom often do because they don’t know how to clean themselves yet ❤️

I don’t think I’ve ever related to a kitten more than I do to kitten Marlin. This dude has SEEN some things 😆
P.S. Believe it or not, this photo was taken *after* a bath. One day, I know he’ll be a Conventionally Attractive Beige Cat™️ (@potroastsmom), but for now…well…he looks like this 😂
kitten Tuna’s silly face always makes me smile 😆 I hope he makes you smile too!
Guppy is #smol. While her brothers weigh about 650g, she can’t seem to break even just 400g 😢 She’s on several medication to help kick her body in to gear, but could use some extra thoughts & love right now ❤️
