I've been hand raising 3 devon rex kittens after their mum was killed by a bus. They are 5 weeks old today and very sweet! One of them is a bit smaller than the others though. One is just over a pound (she's a piggy!) and one is 13oz. The little one, Sooty, was 11.5oz yesterday. He's always...

9 weeks ago I was asked to hand raise 6 kittens. They were 2 weeks old at the time. 2 were rehomed at 6 weeks old. I cried. One we decided to keep. By 10 weeks I was starting to get worried that I wouldn't find homes, and I would have to hand them back to the vets to rehome. This weekend they...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was really happy to read it and see that the people were doing the right thing by the cats too. 200 feral cats invade hospital

My baby, Darcy, had her first vaccinations this morning at aged 9 weeks. The vet asked me to delay them as she was a very sick hand reared prem baby, but her weight is up to almost a pound and a half now, so we went ahead. The thing is - now some 12hrs later, she seems to be running a slight...

Hi! I'm Naya and I live down under in Australia. I've had cats all my life, and I must confess I'm a bit of a sucker for siamese as well as cats that have had a rough life and need a bit of extra love and care. I lost my beloved black Tortie, Muffin, in November having nursed her since January...
