    Eating habits?

    Our little stray is about 6 weeks old. I'm happy to give him as much food as he'll eat, but I'm not sure if he's getting enough. He's eating about 75grams (almost a full pouch) of Royal Canin wet kitten food each day, mostly at night. This doesn't seem like much, but his energy has improved...

    worming question

    A lot of medications are contraindicated with Piperazine. Revolution is an anti-parasite medicine that combats worms, mites, and fleas. Call the vet, but I don't think you should give him anything else.

    Tips for rescued 6-8 week old kitten?

    First, good on you for taking her in. Worms, fleas and mites can be a big concern at this age. I think 6-8 weeks looks right, just by the pictures, so it is probably ok to treat her for these things. Still, before you do, make sure you know her weight (many of these medications cannot be given...

If you are hoping to have her become part of the family, you could spend time with her each day working on social skills. There are plenty of links on how to socialize an...

    Took in 2 feral/stray kittens, now I am allergic???

    Hmmm....Maybe, as you said, you're having a reaction to something they've gotten into rather than the kitties themselves? I would think that such a severe reaction wouldn't be expected if you have no reaction to cats normally. I would suggest having your neighbour help you out and do a trial...

    Kitty stopped eating

    Thanks! He seems better today and we managed to entice him with some sardine water. This worked and we were able to mix in his deworming medication. He's still a tad lethargic, but he is most definitely more willing to play now. We've had several good play sessions and he's been eating and...

    Kitty stopped eating

    We rescued a stray last night who was clearly very hungry, tired, and thirsty. We had no trouble getting him to eat and drink, but he was very sleepy. He ate really well. Today we took him to the vet and they gave us some worm medication and eyedrops and told us to watch him. He's about 6 weeks...
