    We have two new members of our household. Our neighbor found the kittens he said, after the mother was shot. He could not take on two more kittens and decided he was going to take them to the pound, right away we knew we had to take them in. I have read many articles and bottle feed the two with milk replacement , ever two hours. We have only had them two days and I have yet to see any poop. Is this normal?

    Yes, usually when rescuing kittens they go a few days without poop until their bodies get used to the new food. Of course, I don’t know how old your kittens are, but assume you are bottle feeding at this point. Goat’s milk is a great replacer too, and has great probiotics for their gut. You can find it in the cold milk section of the grocery, or in the baking aisle in cans. The canned is condensed, so add water 1 to 1. I’ll post some links for you to help with hand rearing. Keep us posted!
