I get asked about Link Tree a lot so this is what my featured Foster Kitten Tips post is about this week @foster.kitten.tips . One downside of Instagram is that you only get one clickable link in your bio. So if you have multiple accounts that you want to share, you cannot provide a clickable link to all of them. In my case, I have a blog, a YouTube channel, a Facebook page, a list of products we recommend and of course, my wish list. People will be more likely to visit you on other platforms if they can click straight through. This is where Link Tree comes to the rescue. . 🐾 You can find the FULL blog post with instructions on setting up Link Tree in, well, in my Link Tree LOL  . 🌳 Link Tree has a free service that allows you to connect your Instagram account and you can put as many links there as you want. ☑ Note: I highly recommend all foster families set up a wish list for their kittens. If you missed that post, you can find the link to that one in my @foster.kitten.tips Link Tree as well. . 📝 If you have any questions DM me at my main account @foster_the_felines_ok or email me, Missi, directly at [email protected]. 🐾 #kittentips #FosterKittenTips 🐾 #litter28 #WhineyKittens #litter26 #RapperKittens #bottlebabies #orphankittens #KittenSeason #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #FosterKittens #Kittens #cats #FosterTheFelines https://www.instagram.com/p/BoyIQawgA05/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16xpp0q3fm5hk

Newest Post For @Foster.Kitten.Tips is something we discussed recently: bottle baby waste. What do you use to “pee & poo” your bottle baby kittens? And how do you dispose of the waste? It's not the best part of this gig but it's necessary. Neonatal kittens must be stimulated to help them pee & poo. Such a glamorous life! I started out with a good old fashioned damp washcloth. It was cheap & reusable. But over the years a skin condition forced me to find other options and I started using gloves and paper towels or tissues. Instead of just cleaning the washcloths I had to dispose of the used tissues and gloves. At first I was using a plastic grocery bag and tying it shut but it really didn't help with the smell and they ripped easily. Eventually I ended up with my current system of peeing with paper towels (because they are more absorbent than tissues) and poo'ing with baby wipes. I pour about a tablespoon of baking soda into a gallon sized Ziploc bag and use that to dispose of my gloves, paper towels and wipes. The baking soda and resealable bag really help control the odor. With 3-4 kittens, I will fill up about 1 gallon Ziploc every 24 hours. When I had to switch up my routine I reached out to our community to see what other foster families were doing with the bottle baby waste. The responses were fantastic! Below in the comments, you will find a list of different things other fosters are using. But first I wanted to share a concern that was raised a few times. The environment! My nitrile gloves and plastic bags are not biodegradable and will be sitting in a landfill somewhere for quite a while. Unfortunately, some of us really need things like the gloves and other disposable items but it did made me stop and think. So I'm including some eco-friendly options as well. You can go to my Foster.Kitten.Tips Link Tree for the full blog post with clickable products links if you'd like to take a look at it. Full list + "green" options in the comments! 🐾 #bottlebabies #kittentips #FosterKittenTips #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #FosterKittens #Kittens #cats #FosterTheFelines https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFc0DpgYz-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1418n4js3s37s
