    two feral kittens...hope I didn't mess things up.

    Update! Sorry it's taken so long. After the Vet visit, the Vet recomended that the momma be trapped ASAP. The momma is very very thin and it worried him. No one has feluke.. it's all negative... so momma is trapped, and she's instantly happy because of good food. The Farmer has prepaid for...

    two feral kittens...hope I didn't mess things up.

    We made it past the weekend! The smallest one had me the most worried. She kept throwing up the KMR...crying a lot, too. Then it dawned on me.. Maybe she can't digest the milk protiens in the KMR.. in other words, lactose intolerant. So instead of mixing KMR with the pedialite, I just...

    two feral kittens...hope I didn't mess things up.

    You all are so amazing! I've been searching for a stray s/n program and found one. The site says it's for St.Louis City and County cats, but I'll call on monday and see if they will extend it or maybe make an acception. It would only be $25 a cat! I wonder if they'd spay the three baby girls...

    two feral kittens...hope I didn't mess things up.

    I'm thinking about the mom cat.. she's very tiny. Looks to be maybe 4-5 lbs and a little less then half the size of the other strays/ferels that wonder around the neighborhood. With her size and if she's able to accept human contact, would her chances of being adopted a little bit better? Barn...

    two feral kittens...hope I didn't mess things up.

    Humen traps? I'll google that..lol the hissy girl is just scared. She's stopped hissing, and I when I hold her, she curls up and tried to hide within the crook of my arm but soon stops trembling when I stroke her ears and chin. I just think she's the most shy and scared out of all of them...

    two feral kittens...hope I didn't mess things up.

    Well... the count is now up to FOUR... Four kittens and our Vet won't be in untill tomorrow. They are eating well, learning how to eat the A/D mixed with KMR if I put some in a spoon for each one. Don't think I'm nuts but I permi-markered their numbers on each spoon so they don't get each...

    two feral kittens...hope I didn't mess things up.

    Yesterday, I spotted one of the ferrel cats on my porch, with two four-five week old kittens nursing on her. Mom is pretty sweet but skittish, understandably. She has allowed me to pet her from time to time and I do make sure she has food. I've tried trapping her to get her spayed, but she's...

    I think my cat has been shot

    A few years ago my friend was having bad issues with his neighbor. One day, he heard his little dog screaming in the back yard and went to go see what it was. His neighbor had a BB gun aimed at the pup and kept shooting. Anyway... the wounds look exact like what you discribe. Perfect little...

    Newborn Kitten Dropped at my front door! Help!

    ALL that panicking and I managed to find a local woman who had taken in a pregnant ferrel/stray. I drove over at 7am and sure enough that sweet momma took this boy in right away as one of her own! So he's getting the nutrition he needs and I'm very confident that he'll make it. Thankyou so...

    Newborn Kitten Dropped at my front door! Help!

    Phew! Thankyou so so so much. I'm in panic mode right now. But I'm settling in and just gave him his first feeding. Unfortunaly, I don't have KMR, so I had to use the recepe and a tiny seringe. Took some coaxing, but he managed to suckle on and drink 5ccs.

    Newborn Kitten Dropped at my front door! Help!

    Ferel cats everywhere this spring. One of them loves my porch and guess what she brought today.. A new born kitten. She's been hanging around under my veranda since I've moved here. I leave food and water out, just in case but I've never been able to get close enough to her. I noticed a few...

    Zeus and *Athena* at 6 Weeks

    Eep! They are so cute! Great pics! My favorit is the one Zeus draped over your lap. Something about a big guy with a tiny happy kitten that makes me melt.

    Cemetary's are awesome! I know this sounds silly but a group of us play 'tag' among the gravestones and the cript. Yah yah, I know... 21 and still playing kid games. Can't be helped. Too much fun!

    Lethargic Kitten

    I didn't think I should open a new thread on the same subject so I'm posting here. Cheech went to the Vet today. Good news is he's FeLuke Negative and everything else. Bad/weird news is they found a Warble burrowed into his neck, under the skin. The hole was highly infected. He's running a...

    Cheech and Me

    My name is Abby and I have my very first cat. (very first pet too) He's a kitten right now and I've named him Cheech. He's very mellow, sleepy and I know he isn't feeling well but he'll be seeing the Vet this afternoon (at 12) so I'm praying everything goes well. Cheech is/was a dumped...

    Lethargic Kitten

    Yesterday, a new friend gave me a kitten that had been dumped on the family's property. She gets tons of kittens from the strays that run around but she knew this baby boy was a house cat. He is affection, but very sleepy and lethargic. When held, he curls up against me, purrs but also cries...
