A note about weight tracking

Weight charts are essential for tracking weights and determining whether and how much to feed or supplement kittens, and they are also a helpful troubleshooting tool. When kittens are losing weight, are experiencing symptoms of illness, or are difficult to feed, weights, patterns, and gains or losses can give us clues about problems that need to be addressed. Please be sure to keep track of weights using our Daily Care Sheet or a format of your choice that tracks the same information as the information on the Daily Care Sheet, and be prepared to share your charts with the foster team or med team if we request them.
