Thanks for the recommendations on cat pillers. Anyone working with ferals out there have suggestions for a syringe and bottle combo to use to split a tube of anti-flea meds?

Thanks for the suggestion, FelisCatus. Unfortunately I cannot count on my husband to help. He tends to like the "fun" bits with cats and not the hard bits, especially if it involves the possibility of claws or teeth. :p But I do appreciate it, and the water suggestion - I think not enough...

Sorry, that should be Revolution, not Advantage.

I'm looking for recommendations for a syringe and bottle, and a pill popper, aka pill gun. I am trying to care for 6 cats: 2 strays I've taken in over the last 2 years as "mine" and 4 more that aren't "owned" per se but I'm trying to do my best for. I'm on a limited budget and luckily have...

She died. I'm devastated.

I just started tonight because only tonight did I try to feed her myself. I have tried stimulating her but so far nothing has come out.

I could barely get any honey onto her gums. She just feels stuff at her mouth and moves her head away. I will have to go to the drugstore to get the sponges. We don't have a normal thermometer, just the in-ear kind. We did the best we could with it, taking her surface skin temp and it was 92.5...

94 Birth weight (Tues pm) 99 12 hours later (Wed am) 101 One day old (Wed pm) 97 Two days old (Thu pm) ---- Three days old (Fri pm) 122 Four days old (Sat pm) (I didn't believe this number, but I did it 2x and the rest were at 150+) ---- Five days old (Sun pm) 118 Six days...

Somebody please help me. I can't watch this baby die and I don't know what to do. The babies were born last Tuesday evening the 12th. By Thursday I knew I had a problem because the one who had gained very little weight, lost weight; another hadn't gained a lot, while the others all had moderate...

Unless I was mixed up and wrote down weights one time thinking "left" as I looked at the cat from the front (which would be its right) and then the next time "left" as on the cat's body. In which case the weight progressions would be 91 to 113 (22g) and 82 to 100 (18g). I'm not sure what to...

I marked the babies last night when I weighed them. I have a massive gain that I would swear has to be wrong, but I double checked the marks on the legs and they are correct. I couldn't weigh one baby - mom was hissing and trying to bite as we took the babies away, so we couldn't get the one...

I was hoping that would be the advice. I hate to disturb her further. I just looked in on them and when I took out her empty food bowl, she hissed at me. :( I really don't want her to see me as the enemy but it may be too late. Domino has not had proper nutrition for the most part. I had to...

I am at a loss as to what to do. Domino is sitting up, but with her head hanging low and eyes almost shut, and looking utterly exhausted. She can't or doesn't know how to help the babies each find a nipple. The babies are crawling all over each other to get a nipple, and I there is some...

Well, husband, who is the master of telling me not to push the situation, pushed the situation. We ended up antagonizing her, sadly, but ended up getting all kittens out and weighed. They were all put back into the bin. Domino did not immediately get in to join them, though eventually she did...

Long story short, I currently am trying to help a feral cat I'm calling Domino. She is not exactly hostile, but is not an ex-pet. She came to my property looking for food but always ran if I looked like I might dare step outside. I trapped her Friday and thank goodness, as she gave birth to 6...
