    Kitten Regurgitating, Sneezing Food

    Giant foster kittens... 6+lbs @ almost 14 weeks?

These 3 (2 tabbys are boys, the mostly white/tabby one is a girl) are almost 14 weeks old. I pulled them from the...

    What is your preferred brand of kitten milk replacement?

    I am asking because we have been having a lot of digestive and diarrhea issues in our rescue with bottle babies, way more than normal. It seems to be hitting around 3-4 weeks. Our vets cannot figure out what is causing it- it is not parasite related, not coccidia, giardia, etc.  Most of the...

    12 wk old kitten 107 Fever

    Any advice would be appreciated. Sam is 12 weeks old, I have had him and the other 5 in his litter since they were 3 weeks old.

    Any thoughts on what may have happened to my kitten :(

    I foster for a cat rescue and I specialize in neonatal kittens... I usually have a dozen or more kittens under 10 weeks and have never had any pass away unless there was a major underlying issue (4 newborns with birth defects and one 8 week old with a liver shunt.) However, this morning I lost...

    Taming Feral Kittens...

    About 2 weeks ago I started working on trapping a mom and 4 kittens that are part of a feral colony that I have trapped some cats from before. It took me awhile, I finally got all 5 of them as of a few days ago. Mom is now spayed, vaccinated, ear tipped, and recovering (crated) in our home for a...
