Wow, how rude. I gave you very helpful advice, and was not lecturing at all. Because I clean up the messes all of the time of irresponsible people who purposely or negligently breed their cats, I am compelled to say something when I hear someone is purposely bringing more kittens into this...

I use Dawn or a mild dish soap, suds up and rinse a few times, and then take a flea comb, sit there with some tissue and your nail, and stab each flea with your thumb nail to kill them. Its not a fun task, but must be done. You will probably have to do this a few days in a row if the fleas are...

I cannot help but say this first: Please please spay your cat, neuter your male, and all kittens as soon as possible. There are too many homeless cats and kittens in this country, in this world. I am a rescuer and have seen many sad things; kittens suffering, cats with broken souls because...

Why was mama not fixed before? Make sure to get all of those kittens are spayed and neutered too before you rehome! There are many rescues and spca's that will do it for very low cost or even free. They are darling; their nose/face shape looks different to me, different than my fosters right...

Same concept as dogs; more protein, little or no grains. Cats actually must, must have wet food; in fact, if you had to choose between the two, go wet instead of dry. But for my own cats as well as my fosters, I do a mixture of both. Natural Balance, California Natural, Evo...(Evo might be a tad...

I think you have a right to be concerned, I would be too. Its scary whenever a cat is bleeding and having loose stool, let alone a kitten so little. It could be from parasites passing through, as the vet said, but there is no harm in getting a second opinion. Depending on the vet ,I have noticed...

Maybe try natural balance or royal canin? California Natural is also a really good food. Are you feeding her wet and dry, or just dry?

Thank you for taking in this kitten and being such a wonderful caregiver! Unfortunately, most shelters do not have the time or resources to give such one on one care that a little guy like this needs, so I think you are doing the right thing. It would be ideal if a mother who is already nursing...

I can't believe she hasn't had those kittens yet! The waiting must be torture. I think it will be very soon too...maybe they will come out with college degrees like Zoe's! Juju to Carly, and soothing vibes to her mama

I've always had really good experiences with Royal Canin Baby Kat kibble. It is meant for kittens, so even if the kittens don't chew (and many times, they don't) the little bit size pieces are made just for their little mouth and throats. My fosters have always loved that stuff. Its expensive...

There are certainly instances where a person who would never have thought about getting a kitten decides to adopt from a friend who has a kitten available, but honestly; deliberately bred kittens, whether they go to a friend's home or a stranger, are "taking up" a home for 12+ years that could...

They are adorable, first of all but yeah, absolutely not 6 weeks old. My guess would be 3.5-4 as well. You sound like an exceptional foster home with great instincts and values-cats are absolutely indoor pets only with very few exceptions. The world we live in is much too dangerous, and there...

I am sure you are a great home and loving people but the issue isn't that homes can't be found for the babies, it's that your intentionally bred kittens take potential homes from other homeless kittens. I have heard that the homeless pet population in England, while maybe not as bad as the US...

I have never had a problem posting my rescued cats on craigslist. There is a vendetta against rescues there, but for the most part as long as you are very explicit in your ad about how the cat/kittens are rescues, describe each kitten in a nice bio, take quality, nice photos, charge a reasonable...

I can't believe they are starting to open their eyes already!!! My babies only just started 2 days ago, and they are 12 days old. I'm surprised she didn't just hold them inside until they were all neutered and vetted with adoption contracts in hand, like cabbage patch dolls! I just love orange...
