Carol's Cats handles all the vet stuff, so I haven't actually been there myself. I dropped them off today for their pre spay and a neuter fasting. I can't figure out why no one has adopted these guys yet! They had an adoption day already, and they are all very cuddly and well behaved- let you...

Lily aka Tiger Lily(The explorer, not terribly bright, high spirited, getting much more cuddly, smallest of the bunch right now) http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/...?petid=6596464 Louis (The lover, the boss, a big boy, very good natured, loves to nap with me)...

Well, now the saga is over. We'll bury the last little guy with his mama and brother and sister out back. He made it to almost 6 days and was much loved and wanted. Although his mother could not care for him, we tried our best- no other cat or kitten can fill this hole. I'd post his pic but I...

Our little guy passed away about an hour ago. We're pretty broken up here. Appreciate all the help we got from you all.

It only takes 5 minutes out of your siight and she could be pregnant again.

The bottom kitten is the one who did not make it (mom dropped in water dish). You can sort of see the top one is polydactly- he's still going strong! He also does have litter on him bc he was born in a litter box. Thats my hand at the top for size reference. I went and saw our little guy at...

OK- simple bed solution. Put an old sheet on top at all times. If you have to go to the thirft store and buy some do it. At this age you can diagnose and treat but not really train in these matters. Good luck!

Yes, it could just be the formula or the stress of changing homes. Keep watching for dehydration, lack of energy etc. If you see ANY signs that the kitten isn't gaining weight every day or other red flags go to the vet. But kittens will get the runs occasionally.

I am so sorry. Just remeber they spent their WHOLE LIVES warm and cared for- which is so much more then many get. You did the best you could and that is all anyone asks.

I would seriously consider asking your vet about tube feeding the little guy. It's not that hard, and can strengthen him up so he can use the bottle better.

My Daisy-cat is VERY polydactly- has the little mini paw on each front foot. She's never had any issues, but we do have toclip her nails bc they don't all hit the ground. Actually- our new little guy ( 4 days old and counting!) is the exact same way, same # of toes as Daisy. We must be very...

I used a local vet for my feral's x-ray and exam (not my usual vet who lives further away). She charged a total of $139 for everything- exam, x-ray, FIV FLV test and euthanasia. I would shop around a bit price wise. I live in NJ in an area that is pretty expensive overall (you don't want to KNOW...

You could make him a surrogate nipple... kind of like a hamster water device only with a kitten nipple on it- upside down bottle of sorts with some water in it. Go to bed early and when he comes to "nurse" redirect him to the surrogate which you can hang off a dresser or something in your...

There could been something wrong with these kittens that we can't see that could epxlain the not eating. I would go to the vet and see if they can give you the materials for tube feeding. You are doing everything you can, no matter what happens these kittens were warm and loved and that means...

Few things: 1. they could be a bit too weak to nurse or confused, you can use an eye dropper or syringe to feed them if they won't suck 2. The first nipple I got my lil' guy didn't do so hot with- it wasn't very long and was somehwat wide- it was advertised a kitten nipple- came with the KMR. I...
