Thanks Robin! I'll definitely let you know if I have any questions. I did bottlefeed kittens last year...and the year before...and the year before that =) Whenever I think my schedule is busy enough, nature says "nooooo"...some poor kitten, puppy, bird or other wildlife/zoo animal has to come along my way! Remember once you asked me what I have? I'll just answer with "more than you can ever imagine!" If I wasn't so busy with life and the animals, I could probably post photos on EVERY single forum category each week haha

Aaaah, the life of a veterinary professional. So rewarding, yet so exhausting. Sleep is overrated in our field. You should have learned by now that we're not allowed to do that! :main_laugh:

Good luck with the kitties. I'm curious too as to what the story is behind them.

post some updates of the kittens soon!

I highly respect AND (at times) feel sorry for your profession!

There really isn't any unique/interesting story behind them, in many urban cities there are literally hundreds of stray animals on the streets. I try to do my part, but unfortunately I can't save them all. I see a handful of pitbull mix puppies running around and hit by car dogs/cats on the way home every night. =(
