My latest foster cat had 6 kittens two weeks ago. She was a stray living on the street. She is caliby with medium fur, she looks a bit exotic.
One of her kittens was completely white when born. I know most white kittens are born white with a few coloured hairs on the forehead that eventually...
Today I brought home four feral kittens that were at the humane society. I"ve been a foster home since 2007 but have only had a few true "feral" cats/kittens. I know these were outdoors with a mother. They are about 7-8 weeks old. (harder to tell as they are very fluffy) An older gentleman had...
I picked up a new foster cat today. I was told she was ready to give birth any day. She saw vet this morning and was given amoxicillin for upper respiratory. She is congested, has green/yellow nasal discharge with a bit of blood. Her one eye is sore. She seems to be short of breath at times. She...
Yesterday, I brought home an 11 week old kitten. He was brought to shelter as a singleton at 5 weeks of age. He was fostered til he was 8 or 9weeks and then brought to shelter. After his first set of vaccines he started to deteriorate. When I picked him up he weighed 500g. He looks like an 8...
My foster cat is giving birth right now. She had her first kitten, then her second. I watched her clean the second one off. Then she turned around in the box. I peered over her and saw a third kitten laying there still slimy and not moving. Mom was busy with second one still who was close to...
Almost 3 weeks ago, I helped to rescue two feral kittens that showed up on someones porch. They were extremely thin and it was obvious they hadnt seen their mother for several days. They were about 5 weeks old. Two girls, weighing only 16 and 13oz. The one girl whom I call Pixie, had a half...
I am currently looking after a newborn kitten. It was found in a barn last Monday by itself in the middle of nowhere. The owners left it there overnight hoping momma would come back for it..but she didn't. So they brought him in Tuesday morning and started to feed it.
The kitten had to be with...
I have an almost six week old kitten with failure to thrive. It has been in my care for 5 days. It weighed 7.4oz when it arrived and was cold, staggering and had diarrhea. He was started on Clavamox at once and 48 hours later was having firm stool but the colour was/is very dark. (I should...
I've come to help out a 3 year old unspayed purebred Himalayan female. She seems to have some neurological issue.
Her symptoms are continuous head movement mostly side to side and her eyes also move slightly side to side. She ***** her head to the left. I did notice she somtimes circles to the...
So, last Saturday, I offered to take some of my friends barn cats to try and find them homes. Something has been killing the adults in record numbers. She has been keeping all the "orphans" in a separate barn with the one remaining non feral momma. This sweet mama will let any of them suckle...
Mitzy my foster who gave birth a week ago attacked my son yesterday. (he's 22) I had to go out of town for two nights and asked
him to check on her and the kittens just to make sure they were okay. He sat on the bed and was petting her. (she moved them to between,
the bed and wall) Suddenly...
I am fostering a young cat who was found stuffed in a tiny carrier with another young cat. We are assuming the unneutered male that was with her is the father. She does not look like she is even a year old :(. I hope that everything goes smoothly. She is very affectionate and if I'm right, will...
I posted a few weeks ago about two foster kittens that appeared to be either part Siamese or Himalayan. They are 7 weeks old now and although their eyes appear to be changing colour, their pupils still glow red when I take photos. In my experience, only blue eyes seem glow red and other colours...
A friend is fostering a beautiful white momma cat who has been diagnosed with indolent ulcers. She has them circling her neck where a collar would be. She has been given a shot of Depo and has been on antibiotics. Unfortunately, whenever they start to heal, she scratches them off.
Where they...
I am currently fostering two kittens. They were abandoned and in poor health when they came in. Their two siblings died (severe diarrhea).
They are almost 5 weeks old now and doing well. Over 1lb and their diarrhea is under control. They have been treated with
Revolution and just came off a...
I have two female kittens that were found abandoned. They look like like siamese but would like to hear opinions. Could be a mix as two orange tabbies were found with them. (they did not survive).
Here is Blue.
So little Panda 3 1/2 weeks now. He's been a little sweetheart but overnight has become a biting machine. I know that it's difficult for a singleton to learn that biting and claws hurt when they don't have a sibling to play fight with. He bites mom and mom just licks him.
He want to bite...
So, yesterday I rescued a female snowshoe cat. She had been advertised by two young girls as being found in our downtown area. It's a very busy, mostly business' area.
She was friendly, very thin and very hungry. She didn't use the litterbox for 2 days.
I contacted them to ask whether they had...
