Baby Foster Kitten's Bath! Dirty and Many Fleas! Opening a Kitten's Eyes at 14 Days Old 

Always good to know...thanks for letting us know :D

How clever! Thank you for telling people

And make sure to wrap them up and dry them ASAP after the bath!! Kittens are super super touchy and sensitive to cold, a bath can really mess up a kitten if not dried properly :)

Thank you, thank you! I've been fostering kittens for 22 years and just found out this great trick. It's not even a trick - it should be a way of foster kitten life!

great aedvice....people should youtube more often

Same as my cats when they here kitten's voice they ran like they are a rescue team and gonna rescue the baby

@@aashimalik7454 Awwww my kitty just perks her ears then goes back to sleep

My old male did the same. He was not happy to find it was just thus box thing Mommy is always holding lol!! He wants another baby in the house, any kind is fine with him, but he will just have to be disappointed I'm afraid. He can tend to the guinea pigs because we are at capacity lol!

Thats a good cat cuz fathers usually dont give a crap about kittens, my neighbotd had a cst family, the dad scratched the eyes of ab 11 days old kitten that was his son, and then killed him on the following days lol

Same as mine! Lol mines 6 weeks old lol I have some bigger and 2 smaller babies. The biggest one seems to barely need any more mommas milk. He grew so fast.

They can all see too . She cleaned their eyes good .

''... they slept so well ..." Lovingly, Grammar Nazi.

Do u think she lokes wiping its face

Mom cat seems pissed, maybe bc you had her kittens for a long time.

She is doing her job right? Her job.

@@jaxcaulfield7071 exactly her job where she shows on RU-vid, it would be silly to think no one will complain lol

@@michelisrael2139 I can only say her job yes.

I agree she is doing amazing! 💕 she did the best she could and even though she wasn’t a professional did an awesome job To everyone who is complaining. They should stop because she did what she could

At MaxLuvGaia: Instead of pressing the puss dirt and crusties into their eyes with the rag, if you could have the temperature right water running on the eyes at the same time, it can rinse any of that, out of the eyes! 🌻

@@valerieann8007 Arre you a vet? I don't think you are right, it would have needed to much pressure of the water wihich could have blinded her. BTW to make a comment tunless in response to a comment you need to do the @ not write 'at'.

Cute thought but realistically she was probably just really exhausted.

She just excepted her fate xD

Yeah, cats realize when they're getting fleas taken off of them. They also read the Sunday Times.

@@JustNatax3 Yeah same thoughts here. She just has no energy left to complain about the nasty water LOL

@@daytonasayswhat9333 LOL you underestimate cats. My cat prefers Newsweek and the Observer, pleb xD

Poor lil Kittens. Yeah, soap him up and get those flea's off them. Dry them with a towel and put them into the bathtub, and then the next one....and the next one. ....and the next one......and the next one. And clean out the eyes on the last one. And then....They're Adorable!

Jewel, when trying to open a kitten's eyes what you need to do is take a warm damp cloth and set it on the eyes and let it sit for 10 minutes and then after 10 minutes take the cloth off the eyes and check to see if there are any slits opening up in the eye, if there is take the warm cloth and gently swab their eyes. With tiny kittens like that you need to be very gentle. Also, after you finish bathing the kittens wrap them in a warm towel, massage them gently to help pull the bath water out of their fur, then get a low setting blow dryer and blow them dry before you put them in their bed. I have done this so many times in the last 5 years it isn't funny. If the mother is taking flea medication, you should take over the task of feeding them instead of risking them when the medication makes it way into the milk.

Awwwww :)

😙😙😙😙😙 you're so gentle with them. You have a real knack for it. Mama cat knows instinctively that you're not going to hurt her littles. It's a real gift you have. Bless.

i thought i was crazy for crying at that part, glad im not the only one haha X)

@@LuigiTheHeadcrab nope. Not ever crazy for caring about an animal.

awww that is so sweet!

KarleeKarma Ms. Kitty was sitting next to me sleeping when i watched this vid. When it got to the part with 2nd kitty being washed, (the screamer) my cat raised her head for a moment.. said "meh" and then went back to dozing. Not cut out for the burdens of motherhood, i think. :)

I had to watch it with the sound OFF for the same reason 😍😻❤️

Awwwwwa she was concerned 😦

+Fud 123 .......Too funny!!

I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me

@Nasir Nehemiah instablaster ;)

Amber Price IKR! ... it was like: It's ok lady, don't worry this is a nice place 😌

That was truly amazing. My eyes had tears. I was so touched. Animals are just purely awesome!

tulips poop is better, stopped vomiting, but is sick and stuffed up. I will do a video on her

This is my first time

first time of what? commenting on youtube? ^^

Hhhgfghhjkusee W a basketball WW what are we going to get bigger we do we do we do we don't want to be real with the with the with the

If the infection had been allowed to progress, they most likely would have needed to be surgically removed.

thank you so much!

Or Klaatu, barada, Nikto and the one with his eyes closed Gort.

You didn't hear? Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore. Not with the new info about it.

Jae Lynn iThey have classified Pluto as a planet again.

@@pattynicholson2994 no they haven't. Don't get bamboozled by fake news articles.

Uranus ?

Just like human babies that needs to train lung capacity. It’s so important to get them to make a lot of noise.

@@charisma-hornum-fries I just get such a laugh how this tiny little thing can make so much noise. Worked in a maternity hospital and believe me you would never believe how loud those babies are when they get there first bath

Soie Flora there was no previous owners. These guys came from outside with someone "watching" them.

I can relate, my grandkids came home and had given everyone in the house lice. One of the kids at school 🏫 had it. It was a pain to get rid of them!!!!

My siblings and I attended schools in the Los Angeles suburbs late 60's thru early 70's. Lice was very common. Seemed like we (8 of us) were constantly washing our hair with that awful smelling lice shampoo. The lice comb was a pain to use, too. I remember one of my Jr High friends had an infestation of lice sooo bad, she asked that I shave her hair off. I did. She wore a wig to school for rest of the year.

@@jfjc5694 I feel very lucky to have dodged ever getting lice, fleas, bed bugs or scabies. I have gotten a tick-borne infection though and I still wonder if it's doing something to me and being overlooked as the culprit to my health problems. It's SO not cool when people invite you over and don't tell you if they have fleas, lice or bed bugs. I don't ever want to move again for fear of moving into a place with pests. Once, I got stuck with a lease that had a roach problem! It was awful and I didn't stay in that apartment for three months until they got rid of them. It was the alcoholic neighbor who was the one with the problem and it didn't help that there was a restaurant next door.

I tried that, must not have done it well enough hmm

Siobhan Kirby thank you for that suggestion!!! I’ll have to try that next time I give my babies a flea bath...

Siobhan Kirby......I also have heard that. Have not tried......have not had a pet for while,...an haven't rescued one since I learned of this. I'm dying to try....as of now can't afford much of much. Peace!

queenbee2116 aaawwwww sweet of you

oh my gosh that is adorable!!

Usually they will end up crawling to drier skin...some will pop off, but most will just crawl up./

​@Linda Nitzschke We used to have an "outdoor cat" when I was a kid because my mom hates animals, or rather, she doesn't want to live with them. However, we started spending our allowance on cat treats for an orange stray and he just adopted us! He was kept outside most of the time, until he was old, then my parents didn't kick him out if he didn't want to go out. I was away at college by then and I was very angry that my parents had to euthanize him and didn't let me come say "goodbye." Am STILL mad at them for that, but they said he was sick and weak it was pitiful to see how he wasn't eating or drinking. We had great neighbors who loved him too and if it was a cold day in winter, he would go next door and meow to be let in. They'd let him in during those cold winter days, or we would keep him inside and he also could get inside the neighbors garage. In the summer he would sleep in the garage at night, so he wouldn't get into fights with other cats. Every fall, after the third night of frost, we would take him to the vet to be "dipped" in a flea bath before letting him in the house for the winter. We never had a flea problem, or a mice problem. If he was in the basement for the night, and someone entered the kitchen, he would sit at the basement door, pitifully crying to be let upstairs. It was hard to hear, but when the person left the kitchen he would stop. One time he was crying strangely at the basement door and so we let him up, and he came running up the last few steps and dropped a live mouse at my mom's feet! It was hilarious! It ran under the dishwasher, but he was bringing us dinner in his eyes, so proud! Sadly, he also murdered quite a few bunnies and birds in spring, and we had to put bells on his collar to give the bunnies and birds half a chance. He also would get up on top of the garage and try to stick him paws under the overhang where we had a birdhouse. He couldn't reach them though and would sit above them for hours! z

@@megamegaO I know your comment is years old but just wanted to point out that dawn soap will kill the fleas. So that's why this person said "after a good soaking with the dawn" bc the fleas will be dead and therefore cannot crawl upwards to dry skin. Most groomers recommend a thick ring of dawn around the neck to prevent the fleas from reaching the face.

aww thank you, I love saving these little babies from suffering

So what do you do to the ones already on the head?

SynnJynn I think you pluck/comb them out. I’ve seen people do that

@@SynnJynn You get rid of the ones on the head like you normally would, applying the soap just means there will be less to deal with.

@@SynnJynn You could get a rag or, a clean dish cloth or a cotton pad and squirt some shampoo on your item and lightly rub it on the head. I'd suggest keeping the soap barrier on to prevent them from going back down.

Isla Love Thanks for the information, I have a tiny kitten left in my out building, she has fleas so bad...I'll try the ring of soap around the neck...made me cry to see all the fleas rush to her head

Ty i will get one of those.

Aww thank you!!

Hey good tip. I was wondering about the scent part. What is the mama cat has fleas also. Is rubbing her scent going to effect them after they are clean? Do I wash her before the baby’s and separate them ?

Dawn (hand) Dishwashing Detergent for handwashing dishes.

Yes Elaine, same stuff, different name 😊

Dawn is anti- grease big time. I think they've used it on birds and marine animals affected by oil spills.

Aww thank you :)

Aww thank you so much!!! :)

MaxluvsMya My hat is off to you! Just looking at all of those fleas overwhelmed me AND you have your own human munchkins??!! Woman!! You're making the rest of us look bad!! 😆 But kitty snuggles would be worth all of the hard work and seeing them healthy and thriving obviously!! Keep up the awesome work 👏🏻❤️

aww thanks :)

She is doing great now :)

They are doing great now thank You :)

Aww thank you!

That’s fantastic!! I am so happy you volunteered. The shelters need so much help!
