I am looking towards a broad area of March,April or May. 4 months is fine with me as I know any reputable breeder keeps them with mom until at least 12 weeks or longer. I will not look for anything even under 12 weeks I want my kitten to have all of it's socialization and learning from mom and...
I have done quite a bit of research on the breed through the years even more so as of lately. I understand they do need to be bathed weekly due to the oils in their skin as well as weekly ear cleanings. I also do not mind at all doing the work!! I am an avid animal lover and there is honestly...
I have for years wanted a Sphynx (ever since Austin Powers lol) but never had the means to buy one. We now live in a permanent home and I can afford to have my dream baby!!! I do not have intentions of getting one until around Springtime. Can someone point me in the direction of a good breeder...
I have done a lot of thinking over the past day and I decided as hard as it is I will still foster except it will only be with Rescues and Shelters. No more taking in kittens that young from strangers.
The more I thought about it yesterday the more things made sense to me! When I was first...
Sorry this is so long I just started typing and it came flowing out!!!
my 3 ~1 week old foster passed away this weekend.
I decided Thursday to help a woman out with 3 orphaned kittens she had. I didn't get a chance to speak to her on the phone until Friday evening everything had been through...
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
Right before I posted that last message I had sent my husband out with the kids to give me some time. I cried I prayed for them I talked to them posted that message here then cried hysterically for about an hour!! Coming here and having so much support is wonderful when I...
They are both gone!! They both stopped breathing almost simultaneously! They would have never made it through that long drive to the vet.
All she could say to do was make them as comfortable as possible until they passed. I made sure they were warm and petted them and said I was so sorry for...
they are being bottle fed and did great on it till 3 am.
I called and spoke to a Vet at the ER and was sadly informed not to bring them in. She said they more than likely either have pnemonia, or being they were born to a stray could very possibly have distemper,FeLV,FIV or numerous other...
I tried Karo syrup this AM I have been trying pedialyte in a syringe but no reaction. These kittens seem to be breathing from their mouths!!! The woman I got them from said the other kitten that died (from OP) had pnemonia. I have only had them since 10pm friday night and everything seemed great...
I haven't been able to get either foster to eat since 3am and it is now 12pm. 3 am feeding wasn't great either. Their cries aren't as loud any more and they aren't moving around as much either!!! Some thing is wrong!!! I can not get them to the ER today!!! IT is sunday and we have a Tornado...
How do You know if they burp? I tried checking youtube and saw some wrong ways to bottle feed and silly burps but nothing real. Do they actually make noise burping at such a young age?
I sent the woman an email this AM letting her know the little one didn't make it and she sent back that the person who took the other 3 also lost one last night.
The other 2 have been doing great. They eat around a 8-10 cc every 4 hours and haven't had any problems with eliminating yet. I did...
I was supposed to bring them home tomorrow but the woman called and said one was on a steady down hill!! She kept them out in a shed and we had terrible rain today. So I told hubby I would just go get them tonight and take it from there. Well there were 3. 2 are thriving very alert and then...
thank you for the website. I read through most and will be a great help once I get them here.
I won't be using a heating pad. I will go with the rice in a sock(s) method.
I could see me telling my hubby that the house had to be 90 degrees 24/7 lol me and kittens would be out on the porch lol.
I completely forgot the sock and rice idea that is what I shall do! These kittens I don't believe are coming from a rescue I think just a woman in need of help, but I will...
I received an email this afternoon from a woman asking me if I can take in 4 ~1 week old kittens to foster. I understand the elimination procedure and understand how to bottle feed and weigh. I have a few other questions. What is the best formula to feed them and where do I get it? Also the...
