    Stray kittens with URI will only breastfeed, need help with food to give them

    Good news guys, I was bottle feeding the one that wouldn't eat and, when I went to prepare more formula, he started eating tuna. Then today he ate dry food even when the tuna was there! I hope things keep getting better. I'm so scared but I'm trying to be positive. Thanks everyone!

    Stray kittens with URI will only breastfeed, need help with food to give them

    And thanks everyone for your help! The good news is that the kitten I was worried about is letting me bottle feed him. It's not a lot but he's really congested. I take them both every morning to the vet because they administer the medications so at least I know they'll see right away if anything...

    Yeah, mom is feeding them. Good news is that the one who was really bad just ate almost an entire can of tuna. Bad news is the one that wasn't as bad is now the one that's worse. 😔

    Stray kittens with URI will only breastfeed, need help with food to give them

    I don't remember but the vet wasn't worried about the weight so I'm guessing they're ok for their age. I've been using my own cats nebulizer for the saline/gentimizin mix every 4 and a half hours. I put them in an extra carrier and cover it with a sheet then turn it on for 16 minutes. Now I'm...

    Thanks so much! Yeah momma eats dry food, tuna, the milk and Sheba mush I made the kitties. Basically everything and anything. She's not picky and she even comes smell my hands when I'm opening cans. The kitties follow her but are just whining for her to lay down so they can feed. They can be...

    Stray kittens with URI will only breastfeed, need help with food to give them

    Hi guys. I trapped a mom and her two kitties, both of which have uri. Took them to the vet and they are on the nebulizer (Gentimicin with Saline Solution) in a small crate every 4:30 hours, they're also on Doxycicline and an eye ointment which the vet administers once a day (I take them to their...

    Stray mumma and kittens

    I'm in the same boat. A momma gave birth inside my fence and the kittens are about 4 weeks old too. I wish I had some advice to help you. I'm going to wait till the kittens are a couple weeks older so I can trap mom and get her spayed but have the kittens be old enough that they can stay by...

    Taming the wild

    I guess it depends on the cats, just like with children, all methods don't work with all. I've never had a problem and my cats are always very sweet with me. It's stopped the behavior but, again, that's in my cases. 🤗

    Yet More Misinformation By Bird Scientists About Feral Cats

    I don't understand why some people have trouble with how nature works. Animals hunt to feed and live. Humans have always. Why is it bad for cats to eat birds? I love birds and try to always help if I see an injured one or a baby. But it's like not wanting a lion to eat a zebra or something. If...

    I Have More Trust Issues Than This Feral..

    I have 2 Vesper cat trees and Lazy Buddy and my cats love them. Even the fat, fluffy one. I like that they aren't all carpet as I've developed allergies and these don't trap as much hair. 🤗

    Taming the wild

    I always have a bottle full of water and just squirt some when they start getting rough. Just one spray making sure its just like a fine mist. I've even used them on adult cats and it always works. Maybe you can try that? Unless he's terrified of water, of course. I find most cats and kittens...

    How can I help this adorable stray?

    I wish people didn't let their cats roam around unless it's a safe neighborhood. Yes, this happens a lot when cats are domesticated. I've met lots of strays, cats and dogs, that will come straight away to eat. Also would let me pet them. They're used to people and it can be bad since it can be...
