Avery Buglione Capstone

For this project, I chose to foster 5 nursing kittens, and their mom (not pictured). You could agree the final product of this capstone is a multitude of different things, whether that be five healthy kittens, free of disease and sickness. Or being able to give animals that went from living on the streets, a new, forever home. The process, was, chaotic to say the least. I didn’t plan on making this such a major part of my year, I intended for it to be a side project, but it was pretty obvious after the first week that this would take much more time than I had originally thought. It took a while to get equipped to what I would be doing every day, before and after school. The first 2 weeks included feeding the mom more food than the average cat. Because she was nursing a litter of five, she needed to be overfed for her to produce enough milk. In the afternoons, I would watch the kittens nurse to make sure they’re getting equal amounts of nutrition from their mom. At around 3-4 weeks, I introduced the kittens to wet and dry food, which also meant I had to give them a litter box, which was much easier said then done. Soon, they will begin to visit the veterinarian to get their vaccinations, and spay/neuter surgery, to make them eligible for adoption.
