I am fostering a four year old cat and she keeps losing weight. She was 4 pounds 9 ounces two weeks ago, and now down to 4 pounds 4 ounces. She was 5 pounds 12 ounces when she was surrendered to the rescue. She has been going to the vet every two weeks and they have been saying it is IBD, but...

I’ve been fostering for a few years now, and it seems like the momma cats that give birth in my house get a little depressed around 4-5 weeks after birth. Does anyone notice this too? I’m also thinking this has to be a depressing change for most of them- typically we pull cats from animal...

I took in a new foster cat last week and (surprise!) she is feral and pregnant. She received her distemper vaccination last week since we didn’t know she was pregnant. Last night she gave birth to one kitten without hair. There is a few drops of blood on the floor, but otherwise she is...

I just took in a 3.5 month old kitten to foster on Tuesday. She saw a vet at intake and appeared healthy. I brought her home and she has barely eaten anything. I brought her back to the vet on Friday and again, no symptoms of any sicknesses. Now I’m syringe feeding her. Does anyone have any...

I've fostered quite a few mom/kitten sets in the past, and this is the second time this particular situation has happened. Someone surrendered four kittens and their mom to an animal control about two weeks ago. My rescue organization pulled them and they were transported to us a couple days...

I took in a very pregnant foster cat on Tuesday and she gave birth to five kittens last night. Two were completely underdeveloped with no hair, and one was still born. One appears to be healthy and eating, but the other one is much smaller and his head is oddly shaped. He was cool to the...

My rescue organization pulled a cat from an animal control about six weeks ago. I took her to the vet to get spayed... and surprise! She was pregnant. She probably about a month into her pregnancy at that point, and on April 1 gave birth to her kittens (6 healthy, 1 stillborn). When I first...

I took in 3 feral cats a few days ago, a mother and two kittens approx 3-4 months old. I have two obnoxious dogs who will lick them for hours, plus two other cats, so I put the 3 of them into a small bathroom. They're extremely scared of me and have been hiding in a cardboard box I turned...
