    Kramer The Kitty Needs Surgery

    My foster cat Kramer needs surgery and I'm trying to spread the word about my GoFundMe page that I set up for him. We recently found out that he has a pericardial peritoneal diaphragmatic hernia. Please check out his story and share: Thank you, Sarah

    Rescued some mean little kittens from the shelter

    I foster for a cat/kitten rescue. I saw the pictures of these six-week-old kittens and knew I had to save them from being put down. I picked them up yesterday and the man at the shelter told me they would need a lot of work. They were very scared and huddled together in the carrier. When I got...

    Kitten Handling

    Starting a new thread since my (foster) cat is no longer pregnant. She gave birth to her kittens on Monday. I have been Google-ing too much and decided to come back here instead. Besides, the people on here are more helpful than on "Yahoo! Answers". Anyway, my reason for posting is kitten...

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    Thanks for the tips. Missymotus - the babies and mama are doing well. However, mama gave birth to a stillborn kitten about 3 hours after I first discovered the other four. I was there with her. Once she passed the kitten she didn't really pay attention to it so I was glad for that. I made sure...

    We have kittens! I went to sleep around 12:30 am, got up a little after 9 am and found mama and four kittens under my bathroom sink! They are all doing great. Thanks for your help everyone

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    Alright. I have been trained to take rectal temperatures.. I have worked at a vet clinic for almost three years. But I agree - I should not be stressing her. I got her to come to her nesting area and I'm going to keep an eye on her.

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    Help - Nimby is having red-tinged thick discharge from her lady area. She was sort of licking there but for the most part didn't notice it was there. I wiped her with a baby wipe. I went and got a baby thermometer and lubricant to take her temperature. I got the thermometer in but she was NOT...

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    I got her to come out from under the bed last night. I think she is just being curious. I read that at a certain point in the pregnancy they stop jumping up on things. But she is still jumping up on counters. I try not to pick her up too much so I don't squash her belly. Her mammaries seem more...

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    Ok so right now she is hiding inside the box spring of my bed. She has never done that before. I really hope she doesn't have the kittens in there. They'd be hard to get out.

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    DON'T WORRY, GUYS... I am not doing the x-rays! Lol! And as far as her breed goes... shows you how much I know. I thought blue eyes were breed-specific. I have seen Siamese mixes with blue eyes but didn't know plain old domestics could have them. Well, anyway... I think she's gorgeous and I'm...

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    Mollismama - so I moved the litter box next to the nesting box. She still urinated on the bed sheets so I replaced them with a dark blanket. So far she hasn't urinated on that. Maybe it was something to do with the sheets. Missymotus - I did try moving her nest to the living room. But it's a...

    Fostering a Pregnant Cat

    Ok so I am fostering a pregnant cat. I do not know how far along she is but she is definitely showing. Anyway, I made her a nesting box - I cut the top half off a box and filled it with clean bed sheets. I put it in my bathtub and closed the curtain. Well I saw her jump into it and start digging...
