    2 newborn infant kittens

    UPDATE: I just wanted to give an update on these two. Sadly, the little runt didn't make it, but her brother is such a little fighter. Momma cat decided she didn't want to nurse kittens that weren't her own, so we went to dropper feeding. We did a pedialyte/formula combo until he was finally...

    Need Help With Pregnant Cat

    Hello. We had a very pregnant cat brought into our rescue 2 days ago. She looks like she could deliver any day. She seems to be having contractions now, and we've noticed a discharge from her vulva area. From everything I've read, it says it should be clear, but hers is more of a tannish color...

    Distemper Possibly :(

    Hey! Things are going much better here. All the kittens are on a med to help keep their immune system strong. They haven't shown any signs of distemper like their siblings did. They are happy, energetic little fluffballs.

    My First Bottle Baby

    you can start introducing wet food in the next day or two. it helps if u mix some formula in with the food. then put it in a low dish. he will probably try to climb in it so be ready to give a bath afterwards

    Distemper Possibly :(

    also the first one passed away the first day we got them, so we just thought it was dehydrated and sick (before we got them they didn’t eat for 4 days and they were barn cats) and the last 3 have died within the last 4 days.
