Late night (or early morning) update on these two little twinsie babies. It can be really hard to determine the age of a malnourished street kitten. They are often underdeveloped but the teeth and eye colour is usually what tells you. These girls are 308 grams and 380 grams. Based on average weight per age that would be aprox the size of a 3-4 week old kitten. But these babies have all of their teeth and their eye colour is almost fully changed from baby blues to their adult colour. This would put them closer to 6 weeks old. They are very thin with big pot bellies which makes them walk like a younger kitten but I'm sure they're older than they look. They're just so malnourished that their development is significantly delayed. The good news is that with good nutrition and parasite treatment they will catch up to their milestones and develop into typical adult cats. But we really did get these girls just in time. They can go downhill so fast when they're this young and not getting the nutrients they need. We will be working very hard to get mom and siblings into care in the next couple days.
