Please let me know if there’s a better sub to ask this in!
We rescued two boy kittens today (owner needed to give them up ASAP). They were born on 1/28 so they’re exactly 9 weeks old. We are first time cat owners. They’re very playful and fun! I have a few questions...
1) The vets near me are only open for emergency visits. I know kittens are supposed to get shots at 8 and 12 weeks... they currently have never been to a vet before and they’ll likely be over 12 weeks by the time our vet reopens. Is this bad? Are there any things I should be looking out for? 2) Their nails hurt. What age do they usually learn to retract their claws? 3) We’ve had them for about six hours and they haven’t ate or drank anything. I know they’re supposed to eat 3/4 times a day so is this normal? They seem well adjusted and have been jumping/playing within 10 min of bringing them home. 4) is it better to let them roam during the night or keep them together in a small room for their first few nights? I’m fine with them roaming but I don’t want it to be overwhelming for them.
Thank you!! I’d also appreciate any general kitty advice if you have any :) stay safe!
