Hi everyone - it has been some time since I have come to the forum. Just a little recap of what brought me here in the first place 
My husband and I rescued to feral kittens last year (Moley & Scarey) and since then they are happy and healthy house cats!
Well, 3 weeks ago we saw this stray tabby in our front yard. We put a shelter out for her as well as food. After 5 days of feeding her we were actually able to have her come to us for petting. The discovery was that she was literally skin and bones so we brought her in the house. Took a trip to the vet the next day to have her checked out as well as tested for leukemia and also bacteria in her stool and all came back negative. The Dr. recommended no shots because of her heath state. She was quarantined from my other 2 cats for 2 weeks and for the last 4 days has had the run of the house.
Since she has been in the house I have noticed that her little tummy gurgles and she has gas as well as soft stool. I have put her on a rice and boiled hamburger diet as well as pedialyte in her water (2 days). She still has a gurgly tummy and her stool is still soft (not runny). She is a little playful and quite loving and constantly purrs. She is also gaining weight nicely and although she is around my other girls they have not really accepted each other yet. So, my question is this: Should I keep doing what I am doing? I read that it takes some time for cats that were malnutritioned to get 100%. Any advice is greatly appreciated and a big thank you in advance
