I think it's going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to rehome the kittens while they still have ringworm. Shelters are your best option.
Try contacting the RSPCA, The Animal Welfare League or Cats Protection Society. Explain that you took in a stray cat and her kittens but can't keep...
Yes, I think that's a very good idea. It would be better to send the kittens to a shelter rather than give them to other people to rehome. The shelter will have experience of treating ringworm and will be able to vaccinate and spay or neuter the kittens before they go to their forever homes...
No. Ringworm is highly contagious to other animals and to humans. It's very difficult to get rid of it, not only do you have to treat all of the animals and people that have come into contact with the fungus, but you also have to thoroughly clean your house.
You mentioned ringworm in your house...
Friday was my day off, but I only had time for a one hour slow flow yoga practice. I spent the rest of the day rushing around, doing chores and running errands. But I finally got to the bottom of the laundry basket!
:yess:
Saturday was a 90 minute walk and 30 minutes of yoga. Today is going to...
I'm so sorry to hear this @charliana
:hugs:
You gave him the best thing anyone could ever give a cat. A safe, loving home and the final act of kindness when he needed your help to pass.
That's awesome news!
I don't think it's going to be too difficult to get her properly tame. Kiji, the one in my banner below, was left outside our vet's clinic taped up in a cardboard bow. She was totally wild, bit the vet and the vet tech when they tried to handle her, but she's very loving...
Yes, it's the strange vet smells that are upsetting her. You should keep them apart for about 24 hours so that he has time to get over his surgery and start smelling like home again.
Some people use real vanilla (Food grade, not the synthetic kind) and put a tiny dab under each cat's chin. They...
Good for you @rubysmama
I've been having some adventures. Last week I decided to explore in a different direction and ended up twisting my knee while scrambling up a steep slope. It wasn't so bad at the time, but I decided to have a few days of just doing yoga and archery practice while it...
Do you know how old she is @bootsm ? was she born to a feral mother?
No matter how shy they seem to be to start with it's always possible to socialize kittens if you get them young enough. Some people say they have to be under two months old, but I've had a lot of success with feral born...
Roundworms are easy to deal with. Did the vet treat him for those? Colds can be passed on to other cats the same way human colds spread to other people. If your cats have already been in the same room as him they've already been exposed, so don't worry about that now.
Has he had his first round...
Things like fleas and ringworm are super contagious, even allowing the kitten to sleep on your other cat's beds could lead to them being infected too.
Other diseases have an incubation period, which means that they may have already been passed on to other cats, but you're not seeing any signs...
If you found a kitten outside that is sick you should not let him anywhere near your other cats. Stray kittens pick up lots of diseases, many of which are highly contagious and potentially fatal. What's more, he could have fleas, worms, ringworm or other conditions that could be picked up by...
They don't look over weight to me. During the first 12 to 18 months of their lives, longer for some breeds of cats, you shouldn't restrict their food intake at all as they are still growing. They are still developing strong bones, so need plenty of nutrition for that.
Generally speaking, wet...
I'm so glad to hear he's going with you. You're definitely making the best decision.
I love your cats! I have 3 tuxedos too. And a bunch of tabby ones.
:dizzycat:
Do you still have all the receipts from his vet visits? Take him back to the vet, get him microchipped and registered in your name, keep all the vet records and receipts. That makes him legally yours. It's obvious that in his head he already is your cat, so you should take him with you for sure...
