How I Became a Kitten Heater (Accidentally)
So, you find a box of shivering, squeaky kittens on your porch. Panic? Nope. You’re now their personal space heater. First, check if they’re cold—ears, paws, and mouth. If they’re chilly, don’t feed them! (Trust me, it’s dangerous.) Instead, tuck them against your skin and channel your inner kangaroo.
Next, build a cozy nest: cardboard box, towels, and a heat source. If you’re fancy, use a pet-safe heating pad. If not, a hot water bottle or a sock full of microwaved rice works. Just make sure it’s not too hot—no one wants roasted kittens. Heat only half the box so they can escape if it gets too toasty.
Monitor the temp (aim for 85°F/30°C for newborns). Change bedding daily, and keep this up for a month. You’re basically their mom now. Good luck, fellow accidental foster parent.
