    Is my cat pregnant?

    If its only been a few weeks since she got out then you might want to phone a vet and see if they can get her in quickly for a spay.

    Sending foster back to the facility - extremely guilt ridden

    If the infection is confirmed, meaning more than one positive test, then yes it is fatal unfortunately. These cats almost always need meds and can go downhill very quickly. Hopefully he can recover from this uri but there is a chance he won't. It's just about hospice and comfort care. I don't...

    Hey there, don't be too hard on yourself. You are still grieving the loss of your baby and this situation may be triggering. Is this kitten FeLV positive? If so, fostering felv positive cats and kittens is hospice care. If they have an active infection then it's terminal. Kittens typically...

Could be pneumonia or something else. When he recovers and is doing better, make sure to deworm all...

    1 week old (ish) orphaned kitten questions

    You can stimulate before and after feeding. You can use soft dry toilet paper and then it's easier to see if she is finished urinating.

    Kittens acting hungry all the time. updated

    Did the vet test for diabetes? Personally, I would do a round of antibiotics since the most common reason for young kittens to fade is sepsis. http://kittencoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/white-Fast-Facts_Fading-Kittens-and-Sepsis_1-2017-white.pdf She is still developing and kittens...

    Kitten swallowed nipple tip, has a cold

    Those kittens are at least 4 weeks old. They might be biting the nipple because they are craving more than just formula. Try making a slurry of formula with a bit of chicken pate kitten food, warm but not too hot. Try feeding this from a dish or from your finger. Nipple should pass out of...

    Pregnant cat. Would like experienced input on potential due date.

    I'd guess around a week left. I just got a pregnant foster from the shelter a few days ago. When I got her home her sides were only popping out a bit, not round at all, looked like your cat. I felt a kitten move just lightly and thought she must have about 2 weeks left. You can imagine my...
