kitten Rosemary and kitten Basil.šæ @windycityfosters said.
Little kitten Basil isnāt gaining weight. Heās still stuck at 108 grams (3.8 oz) while his siblings are around 150g. His ribs are also more prominent than the othersā. Iām going to start supplementing and giving him āprivateā nursing times with Mom. I was warned this could happen with inbred kittens. @windycityfosters said.

The good news is he is still active and has a strong voice, he is warm, and he is sleeping in the kitten pile, not off to the side. Iām really hoping he starts thriving and gaining weight.š¤š» @windycityfosters said.
