Thank you <3 I am planning on getting a blown glass cat figurine that will have his ashes in it. Once I get it, I can post it for ya'll.

Thank you everyone <3

Yesterday, at 6pm, we had to let our 8 week old baby boy go. Legs, a brown tabby born from a feral momma, in a litter of four, started life off already given the short straw. He was born with Swimmer's Syndrome. His back legs were under-developed, and he couldn't use them. My SO and I took it...

He had FIP and it was fluid that was built up in his abdomen. There was nothing we couldve done so we let him go. The worst part is we didn't get to say goodbye and the last moments of his life he was alone, in fear, and in pain as they tried to x-ray him. Spent $500 just to kill my baby. I...

Not so good news. Vet says his abdomen is abnormal and what we were feeling were his organs. They're taking him for an x-ray and depending on what they find will depend on what we do with him. If it's not fixable, or will cost thousands of dollars we will have to either surrender him or put...

We are currently at the vet, and he's getting a fecal exam, for his constipation. We are going to ask them to show us how to brace him, and check out his hip. Once we leave we are going to get wet food :)

Yeah we will warm them up. The sticks don't cover the stifle, right? We didn't get the sports tape just cause we have vet wrap and the medical tape already. What would be the difference in using sports tape? I know you've suggested it every time, but I am just curious! If we need it we will...

We got the popsicle sticks, so we are going to attempt to brace him tonight. Also got some pumpkin puree to try and help with the constipation. I'll post pictures once we have the braces on. How long should I keep them on? Like 2-4 hours?

We've been giving him kitten dry food, should we get wet food, or add water to the dry food and the oil? And the glycerin suppositories go in his bum??? Oh man, this will be interesting. We weren't putting the cotton swab in his bum, just rubbing around it. He isn't trying. His legs twitch a...

Update time: So we got all moved in on Friday. Legs and our big male cat didn't have a good time during that 3 hour car ride across the state. Legs was panting for a bit, and our other cat had a wet nose and was shaking some. They're pretty much acclimated to the new household now, though! So...

I'll talk to my SO, maybe we can. I'm just not really sure how crazy it'll be the next few days. I want to start as early as possible, but also don't want to overwhelm him (kitten and SO) since we will be moving and such. I think we will try your method first, and if for some reason I'm stupid...

Oh nice! My friend who is getting the boy twin will be returning to St. Pete :D Also we decided that next week we will begin bracing. Probably Monday. Since we will be busy moving/unpacking over the weekend. Still trying to figure out the best method for us. Tongue depressors, finger braces...

We are moving from Gainesville to Titusville :)

Two have permanent homes, the orange one and the male kitten. We weren't able to trap the mom, even with cans of stinky tuna and cat food she wouldn't go in, and stopped coming around our area once we took the kittens inside permanently. We suggested TNR to our apartment complex, so I am hoping...

Alright, once we move tomorrow we can buy some stuff and begin focusing on bracing. It's been a very hectic week, financial wise. D: My mom sent me $100 this morning to help, so that was definitely awesome. His bum went back to normal in 10 minutes after the initial swelling, and he's pooped...
