What is a yolker? And good for you putting the effort in for those babies. What happened to mama cat, i missed that i guess.

OOPS EDIT TO SAY, yOLKER:
A Yolker is an egg that was infertile or just never developed. so when I candled and saw no movement I took them out after day 14 cracked them and just yolk no fetus.

Kittens:
I am not sure they were brought here on day 3 of their lives and Mama has not been seen since she birthed on the welcome mat of friends house. She (Mama) is a feral cat. Kittens are even more helpless than human babies. Another thing I love about Chickens they hatch at like a 3year old level. Kittens can not even poo or potty without stimulation. lots of work!

Yes, i have hand fed a lot of small creatures. Rabbits, squirrels, goats...every 2 hours gets old fast!

Maybe someone can trap her so she could be spayed. Possibly even feed her babies?!

I did trap and release here through the Shelter. It made a huge difference in the number of cats that were here. Most of the kittens I bottle fed went up for adoption with a group that holds adoptions at Pet Co. It has been years since I have had to do any of that. I had forgotten how fast the feeding schedule gets old and My DH has been Fabulous! Cuz I also forgot how much he loves the 2 hour alarms .

I have the babies those are the ones I am feeding now. They will go back to friend when they can eat and poo by them selves.

okay cute babies this one BF rescued off his back porch 4 years ago now

I used to tube feed puppies when they needed it, and the feeding was fast but cleaning behinds and drying them off was time consuming when you are dying to get back to sleep. They would usually pee as soon as I started working on their butts. First 10 days I would feed every 3 hrs. After that I would skip the 3 am feeding. Too bleary eyed to continue that. They survived.Once they were mobile they would poo by themselves - .

We have my Sons cat, He can not have her back just yet he is in the Navy.(They share the same birthday, different year.) Nox.
AND my Moms cats Lia and Sylvia. We promised we would keep them together. Parkinson's took her 3 years ago.
There are also about 15 spayed or neutered catch and released cats still hanging around.
