Thanks for the advice guys. Unfortunately little Luna kitten passed away yesterday. I had been syringe feeding her every few hours and when I went in for her afternoon feeding she was on her back stretched out gasping for air. I grabbed her and just held her like a baby and talked to her. She...

we have 6 adult cats and we never board them when we go on vacation. We typically have my mom come over each day and make sure they haven't managed to set the house on fire. If she's home alone, no other animals, I would think she would be ok for 2 days. Cats/Kittens sleep between 16-20 hours...

Hi All - Last weekend my husband and I brought a kitten home from our local humane society. The humane society estimated her to be about 8 weeks old - they had spayed her a week earlier (I KNOW!)and also enucleated her left eye because she had a URI and that eye was ulcerated and couldn't be...

Hey guys, I am hoping for advice on bringing a stray inside.I have 6 inside cats that are (as far as I know) disease free. There is a very friendly female cat I have been feeding that I want to bring inside. She loves other cats as well. I know this because I also feed several other strays and...

Hi guys!  Kitty still hasn't had her kittens! She has become very affectionate and used to me. I don't believe she was ever feral, just a skittish stray. She purrrs and gives me love bites and even likes to rub her face on my face now. I swear she is holding the kittens in so she can have them...

It's very important for kittens to have 3 rounds of that particular vaccine. She should have 2 more rounds about 3 weeks apart.  As long as the only symptom she has is lethargy she is fine. If she is eating, drinking, and using the bathroom there isn't a problem. If she has a fever or stops...

Thanks Y'all!  She definitely isn't feral, just very skittish I think. Her husband (baby daddy) comes to eat every night and I will pick him up and bring him inside and she will come right out from under the bed to love on him. She lets me pet her then and she purrrs and kneads with her paws...

Hey guys,  Does anyone have experience with stray cats giving birth inside? I brought a stray cat inside to have her kittens, and she is just hiding under the bed and won't come out- is this bad for her pregnancy? She let me pet her sometimes outside and I picked her up and brought her inside...

It's always wonderful to hear from people like you who want to help animals- even when you don't have much experience with kitties.   Thank you for having such a kind and compassionate heart. The kittens are lucky you and your son found them and not someone else.  You can probably start giving...

As other members said, you can't feel the kittens move until about 7 weeks into the pregnancy. If you saw them mating 3 weeks ago I would mention that to your vet. Cats have the ability to carry more than one litter at different stages of fetal development (she could have 2 kittens tomorrow and...

He probably just wants to nurse ad that's why he is fussy. You're right he could be taking in a lot of air making him gassy. My bottle fed babies r 4 months now and they still drink water weird... like they are suckling. Small kittens are just really vocal I think. My vet was constantly telling...
