Wow I'm just glad the vet was able to help your cat....it must have been an amazing feeling when you brought the kittens to life. I hope all is well with the mom and kittens, please post pictures soon!

Thank you for taking in a helpless kitten off the street. You are a great person in trying to help this poor little kitten. You definitley came to the right site for kitten care advice. Good luck!

I just wanted to say thank you for caring for this poor kitten...it takes a great person to take a stray in. I'll be thinking of you and the kitten. I agree, even try the phonebook for an emergency vet clinic, and explain your situation with them. Hopefully they'll be able to work something out.

Haha I'm glad to hear my kitten isn't the only one who likes to suckle. It's kind of cute though, especially since he doen't do it to me . I'm just glad that my other cat doesn't mind. Strangely enough, Kit doesn't tolerate new kittens too well (when my mom got a kitten to keep herself company...

Okay, thanks. I asked the vet last time I took Apollo in, she said that it was fine, just that Apollo might develop a behavior to suck on everything. So far it's only that one area. Thanks again

Hi, I've posted on this forum a couple months ago because I got an underweight kitten from a bengel breeder. Apollo has been doing really well, and he is a healthier weight. He is still small for his age (about 4-5 months), but he is healthy otherwise. Anyways, my question is as follows. He is...

Thanks guys for taking such an interest. I decided to give it another shot with him, and doing what both the breeder and the vet said, and he seems to be doing really well. I think he's put on weight, he's definitley a LOT more active, acting as a kitten should and getting into trouble. I don't...

He seems to be a lot more active, chasing things....acting like a normal kitten. He also seems to be heavier, and his belly is round, I don't know if this is good or bad, as the vet said he has worms....so I'm taking him on Monday for a checkup. But he seems to be acting healither, running...

Well actually Godiva, I was trying not to get attached to him because I knew something was wrong. But eh he worked his way into my heart. Anyway I took some picture for you guys, let's see if this works. Oh and PS, don't mind the messiness, I have just moved recentley. The other cat in the...

Thanks for your support everyone, I will pick up some nutri-cal tomorrow. My mom actually uses that stuff for her cat (she was always very small, but perfectly healthy). I realized something tonight. Before I was mainly just caring for Apollo because he was sick and I felt bad for him, but...

Thanks scoomoo for your time and your advice. I am indeed quite worried about Apollo, he IS eating, a lot actually, and he has already been tested for FIP/FELV. His only real symptom is he isn't gaining weight. He was just dewormed 2 weeks ago, and then again today. The vet said he has/had round...

The vet said it could be so many things that it would cost a LOT to do tests to diagnose what is wrong. Though she said it could be something like his liver isn't functioning properly. She was actually scared to give him his 12 week vaccinations because he was so weak. She was the one who...

Thanks, any sort of encouragment helps Anyways I just called the breeder, and he said to "Just give it time." I GAVE it two weeks, and no improvement in weight just isn't normal. So I'm making the vet call him. Ugh.

I just got back from the vet with Apollo, and she said that he's not doing well. I knew this of course as he is still tiny, only 1 pound (hasn't gained any weight in 2 weeks) at 12 weeks old. He just isn't growing. I am going to talk to the breeder today, but what do you guys think I should do...

All right, thank you....very cute pictures btw

I have a purebred Siamese cat that was concieved from incest (I got him for free), and his only health problem is he has congenital cataracts. Maybe this is what your kitten has?

Well for all of you who are wondering, I decided to keep Apollo, the underweight bengal kitten that I got. He seems to be attached to my older cat, and my older cat likes to groom him, so all is well (he has put on weight too). Apollo actually has taken a liking to my other cat's adult cat food...

Maybe you can call animal control and see if they can do anything about it? Or why don't you just talk to your mom and see if she can talk to her friend about the situation and how you feel that though she has good intentions, she obviously can't care for her pets.

Yes, thank you everyone for giving me such great advice and helping me to come to a decision. I am going to call the breeder tomorrow to see if she will be able to take him back, as I don't have the energy nor time to devote to him to make him better. I know kittens are work, but I honestly...

Truthfully I'm seriously thinking about returning him, just because I don't have the energy to deal with worrying about what to feed him 3-4 times a day and hoping that he gains weight. He does feel a little heavier today, but right now I have plans to go to an animal shelter and adopt a...
