I actually didn’t have to do all the cleaning recommended because Sammy was in an unfinished basement in a large dog crate. He was very young, though. Under 10 weeks. We found him on the highway and he was a very sick kitten. He had a leaky bottom to the point I thought he had muscle tone...

Sorry to hear you are dealing with giardia. I remember how stressful it was, and I only had one kitten with it. Fortunately, he was a new rescue and I kept him quarantined in my basement away from my other three cats while under treatment. Not good for his emotional development, but I sure...

Called this morning and they said it was fine. No details, just “yes, you’re good.” The trunk doesn’t really feel overly warm inside in the garage, but the car was parked at the state fair in the hot sun for several hours the other day so wasn’t sure.

Thanks for the replies! I’ll call them in the morning. I wish I hadn’t forgotten about the bag. I remember not wanting to bring it inside that evening because my kitty crew likes to tear into bags unless they are inaccessible.

Our shelter feeds Purina Kitten Chow Nuture. I had a coupon for a dollar or two off of it and bought a bag to donate, along with some canned cat food and homemade toys for the dogs. Because our shelter is only open to the public for 4 hours a day and closed some days entirely, I didn’t drop it...

Taylor making a circle in a saucer chair. Maybe I need to buy her a sleep mask!

Our sweet, silly Lila, who wakes me up by putting her cold feet on my neck.

This was my former foster Darcy when she was a couple of weeks old. I always thought she resembled a little bunny!

Have the vets ruled out giardia? It can be persistent and require more than one series of treatment. Metro knocks out giardia, so if she got better while on it, I would wonder if she’s dealing with a stubborn case of giardia and she contracted it again maybe from the environment after she was...

I just wanted to add my support for trying veterinary acupuncture. Our dachshund developed intervertebral disc disease and suddenly lost the use of his hind legs when he was 9. The window of time for surgery is very short—like hours— and it would’ve been several thousand dollars. We chose the...

So, I just learned she may be both...a tortie lynx point domestic shorthair. If you look at Google images you’ll see some cats with very similar coloring. The tortie influence means she’ll have cream or orange on her and I see some on the back of her ear. Lila’s ears look black from the...

I actually think she is a pointed cat. She reminds me of my Lila, who is a tortie point. Or your girl might be a Lynx point also because I see an M on her head. You wouldn’t know what she looked like as a kitten if you adopted her at age 6. We adopted Lila at 10 weeks and she was very light...

I agree that it sounds like a flea allergy. We went through this with our cat Taylor recently. The tiny scabs sound like miliary dermatitis, which can be caused by a reaction to flea bites, you can google it for more info. We were actually dealing with this in March and April, and I had been...

She is absolutely precious! I'm looking forward to your updates. She's such a cute baby and is going to be a beautiful cat!
