    My baby is trying to chew her foot off!!

    I posted last year when we adopted Wiggles, that she has Cerebral Hypoplasia.  CH kitties have neurological issues and walk like they are drunk.  Balance is off and such.  Otherwise they are healthy. About 3 months ago, she started chewing her one toe on her foot.  we took her to vet after vet...

    Did we kill the kitten??

    My husband and I are heartbroken.  He found a very tiny kitten (2-3 weeks old) outside on Wednesday morning.  She was crying loudly, no mama around and was very skinny-you could feel her bones. We brought her in, wrapped her up, and got some KMR and a bottle.  She wouldn't eat-just kept crying...

    Kitties with Cerebral Hypoplasia

    We adopted a feral baby who has Cerebral Hypoplasia.  For those who have never heard of this condition, its a neurological condition that affects their movements, primarily the hind quarters.  They also shake and bob their heads while trying to eat or focus on something.  Its sad, but Wiggles...

    Kittens with Cerebellar Hypoplasia

    We have a colony of ferals outside besides our 3 indoor cats.  We try to grab and fix them all, but occasionally one or two get missed. 2 months ago one of the females had a litter of 3.  2 of them are fine, but one had trouble walking, would fall over constantly, her head shakes sometimes but...

    Our Pregnant Feral Mama

    About 2 weeks ago I noticed that one of our resident ferals (who had managed to escape the SNR roundup) has 2 noticeable lumps on her sides and is waddeling.  Oh boy...so, I call our Animal Rescue that I have been working with to try and get all the ferals fixed to see what they want to do.  He...

    Could he be rabid??

    We have several feral cats we feed outside.  They are all fixed and enjoy a nice life doing their thing without having to worry about food.  One tortie showed up a few weeks ago.  He wasn't bad, didn't cause any trouble and we fed him as well.  Well, the last few days he's really been...

    My Goofy Baby!!

    Last July, we found a 3-week old orphan.  I took her in and nursed her, played mommy showing her how to do everything like using the litterbox (I got her a little one of her own), and introduced her to food when she was a bit older.  She slept in a small bed beside me on the couch and was with...

    Chewing the nipples off the bottles!

    My silly 9-week old kitty is doing pretty much everything on her own, but she won't give up her bottle. She will jump in my lap and MEW, MEW..she wants her bottle and then she will run over to her bed and go to sleep. This is a habit I started with her when we found her at 3 weeks. LOL...now...

    Vaccination Effects

    A quick question on the Feline Leukemia Vaccine shot given to my 8-week old. She is sort of groggy now and very sleepy. Is this normal? I called the vet and the office gal said she could be expected to be 'quieter' than normal. Normal for her is tearing through the house at full speed. LOL

    Quick question on normal kitten breathing and heart rate

    Kind of an update on my little orphan. We've had her for 2 weeks now and she is doing really well. My question is-I noticed while she's sleeping (which she does a lot after tearing around for a bit) her breathing is quick-like she has a pretty fast heartbeat. Is that pretty normal for a...

    Distended belly

    The little baby I found last Sunday has quite a little belly on her. She has no problem peeing but her stool is loose and she cries when she's about to go. Her belly is seeming to get bigger and it is starting to worry me. She's almost 4 weeks old. She's been on KMR since I found her. Any...

    My 3 1/2 week old orphan

    Just a quick question. I recently found an orphan kitten. The vet seems to think she is about 31/2 weeks old. I have been feeding her KMR since I found her Sunday. She is thriving nicely, and recently learned to use the litter box. My question is....she sleeps a lot. She will cry to get...
