The vet said that Caper had an extreme case of scoliosis and that there was nothing they could do for him and that in his case there really was no "quality of life" so we said good bye to the little guy.

Our little orange kitten has a majorly twisted back and it's affecting his ability to walk. I'm guessing he has scoliosis. I will be taking him to the vet today at 11:00 to have him evaluated. We don't have the ability to send him to a specialist so if his quality of life without treatment...

Ginger didn't produce milk until after all 5 kittens were born. She also didn't show hardly any signs of labor. She had gotten under the bed (which was blocked off with all kinds of pillows and blankets) and wouldn't come out. A little while after we got her out she went and laid down in her...

The kittens are almost two weeks old and they are doing great. They have all hit and surpassed the 200 mg mark and all but Caper have their eyes open. I suspect Caper's eyes will be open in a day or two. Most of them purr while nursing and the girls love to have their bellies rubbed...

A kitten should weigh at least 90 mg when born and then gain 7-10 mg each day. By day five a kitten should weigh 125 mg. If a kitten was born weighing less than 90 mg the chances of survival are slim. I had one kitten that weighed 80 mg at birth, dropped to 60 mg over the first night and then...

That's pretty much what the vet told me.

Little Rosemary is sneezing. I've called the vet and they are short on Dr's and are closed tomorrow so I have an appointment on Thursday. The lady at the front desk said that she would let one of the Dr.'s know what is going on so that if they want to see her right away they can work in an...

Dill died last night.

He's not going to make it. We came home from church today to find him very lifeless, unable to cry and what looked like possible renal failure. I wrapped him/her in a small towel and put him back in with mom. Once he passes then we will remove him from the box and bury him.

I've been using the rice filled sock for him and his siblings have been helping to keep him warm. He was the first born and the runt of the group so it's very possible he's preterm. I did speak to the vet about his leg and he said that it's not a problem that will harm him and that there's...

if our little one is going to make it or not. Yesterday he/she seemed to be getting stronger, but today he/she is very lathargic and I can't get him/her to drink any milk. I've even tried making sure he/she's warm enough and everything. I guess it's possible he/she is getting milk from mom...

That's what Ginger did right before going into labor. I think it went on for about a day or two. Make sure you put something in the litter box other than clumping litter, something like shredded paper. If she has her babies in the litter box with clumping litter it will be really bad.

We have names picked out but we wont name them until we know the gender, but the names we have picked out are spices so one of my friends calls them the Spice Kittens. They are doing well. Our little one is very slowly gaining weight and quickly getting stronger. Baby 1 Baby 2 Baby 3...

Sorry no recent pictures. Kittens and mom are doing well. They are all gaining weight. Our little one who weighed 80grams when born dropped to 60 grams the first night and then was back up to 70 grams this morning. He's been eating like a champ and getting stronger. He's almost strong...

My cat that just had kittens on Sunday was also a rescue cat.

They are oh so cute and you really are a sweetie for helping so many kittens and cats.

Has anyone used these? I've got a couple of kitten bottles but none of them have holes so my dh poked a hole using a pin but nothing came out. I tried several different tools to make the holes and had no success. Is there a trick to this.

I called the vet and they said that it's a normal abnormality (strange I know) and that most cats grow out of it as they grow up and that there's really nothing they would do for him/her at this point. He has a hard time fighting for mom so I've been making sure he finds her while the others...

Mom and babies are doing well. All but one has either maintained their weight or gained weight. The first born seems to be the runt (the one who lost weight) and he's got twisted legs. I was about to give him some replacer but he found mom and was eating well so I left everything alone but am...

Well mom and kittens are doing well and have been moved into their box. She ended up having them in my lap on the bed. She really didn't show any sign she was in labor just a little restless and then three contractions later her first was born. Ginger's milk is also in and everyone is nursing...
