Another update! He is doing super well compared to how he was when I first got him! He still runs from me on occasion, but he will also sometimes come to me when I call him, especially when food is involved. Sometimes, if I pet my other cats when they are sitting next to him, it seems to ease...
Another update! He is doing wonderful! He came up to me this morning while I was lounging in bed, and asked me for pets and attention. He is such a sweet guy, and I can tell that he will make a great friend to someone once he is adoptable. He let's me pet him when I'm sitting or laying down. He...
Thank you for all of the good advice! I wanted to post an update. He is now comfortable being in the same room as people. The picture I just got is the closest he's ever been to me comfortably. I'm hoping to progress more with him! He still does not like being held at all.
His name is Nishki. He is about 4 to 5 months. I trapped him at a ranch along with 8 other kittens. Not only did the property owners not want him there, but they were also being picked off by coyotes. I've made some major progress with him, but we seem to be at a bump in the road. He will let me...
Hello
I have some good family friends that rescued a kitty 6 months ago. They knew she was going to be skittish, but it turns out that shes almost completely feral. She hides from everyone. If you try to come near her, she bolts! She has made her home in the basement of their house. No one is...
I planned on having her and the kittens fixed on July 5th, but cancelled the moms spay. We have decided to just wait a little longer, and see if she ends up having more kittens. We're trying our best to avoid other vet bills right now, or I would go in for an ultrasound to be sure. I'll for...
Hello.
I took in a beautiful polydactyl cat and her 5 kittens about 3 weeks ago. Someone was giving them away on a local Facebook pet group. The kittens were only 4 weeks old, and hadn't even started nursing. He was trying to rehome and separate the kittens from their mother. I volunteered to...
Yes, I will stop the wet food and try some solid hard food with kmr. Should I let it sit so that the kmr can soften the hard food? Should I start replacing water in kmr with Pedialyte again to keep them hydrated? Their poo was hard at first. Its just become runny today.
My kittens have both developed diarrhea. They have had like 3 or 4 runny stools today. They still seem to be acting normal. Ive been feeding them soft Turkey Fancy Feast kitten food mixed with kmr. The female loves it, and she eats that primarily. The male has a few bites sometimes, and...
Im getting worried.
The male kitten still hasnt pooped, and now he isnt peeing nearly as much as he should be. I get a few drops of pee out of him after each feeding, but thats it. =(
He's still alert and walking around and eating.
The female pooped last night! She was the one I was worried about. One down, one to go! They are also both gaining a little weight.
How long should I substitute Pedialyte for water?
