It’s so hard, but kittens are just so fragile. We do everything we can and the worst still happens. But then we have ones that come to us so sick and helpless that we are able to save and I like to think it helps to balance out the heartbreak. I totally understand taking a break. Losing one of...

I cannot believe I’m discussing cat poop consistency here, but when our foster had the runs from worms we knew he was getting better when it looks like soft serve ice cream rather than pure liquid. Just FYI, even after he was better he did need another round of dewormer of a different kind...

❤️ I am so sorry. This the heartbreaking side of fostering. You did everything you could for her. I’m glad you were with her at the end so that she knew she was loved. I hope her suffering was over quickly. Please let me know if you need to talk. I know how heartbreaking it is. ❤️

Almost forgot to post pics!

Thank you :) I swear I’m more worried about these kittens than I was about my human son when he was newborn lol.

I had a foster with the poop issue too. He smelled terrible, I can’t imagine how awful an entire litter of poopers must smell! I don’t have much advice, but when out foster’s butt was super swollen and distended from pooping so much the vet told us to use Desitin - like what you use on babies. I...

What a cutie! I had a foster the exact same thing happened with about 2 months ago. Scared the life out of me - came home and his pen was filled with vomit and poop. Took him to emergency vet and they gave him a second dose of dewormer, an anti-diahrea (metronidazole I think?) and prescription...

One week old tomorrow and all seems to be going well! She’s a great mommy! I’m keeping a weight log which I have attached (it’s in ounces). I’m a little concerned about Stephen on the far right. He was the largest at birth but doesn’t seem to be gaining as quickly as the rest. Any thoughts or...

Amazing, the formula stopped the panting almost immediately. Thank you so much!

Four kittens!

Thank you! I was getting worried. She seems totally fine otherwise. I have formula here, will give her a bowl now.

Four kittens were born about three hours ago. All looks good except in the past half hour mom is panting off and on. She's eating a ton, babies are nursing, but she's panting a lot. Is this normal? She stops panting when I pet her.

We had a foster kitten that would eat the non-clumping litter. I think it was Fresh Step that we used. With him it was more curiosity I think. He just wasn't sure yet what was food and what wasn't. We'd take it out of his mouth when we saw him do it, but obviously he probably ate some when we...

Fingers crossed that we both have Friday the 13th kittens! Mine was acting strange this morning too and hiding a little bit. I'm at work and I'm so scared she's going to have them while I'm here!

Definitely read the articles above. My pregnant foster was having some litter box issues as well because of her size - she can't move as fast as she used to and isn't as good at judging distance as she used to be I guess. I put towels and doggie pee pads around the litter box and that solved...

Lizzy, with my cat when I feel the kittens move in her belly it feels like something is gently rolling around under my hand. If you've ever been pregnant yourself, it feels exactly like your belly did on the outside when you were pregnant. If I lay my hand on her side when she's laying down, I...

This is my pregnant cat... You can see her nipples are huge if you zoom in. Also, at the very end (which your cat would be if she conceived August 6th), they get wide. Like when she stands and I look down on her, you can see how wide she is - almost like a pregnant human belly but out to the side.

If she got out on the 6th of August and got pregnant then, she would already be either ready to pop or a little past due. For reference, in my post I have a pic of my cat with similar coloring to yours. The pic was taken a week ago and she's still pregnant, but she is huge in the pic I posted...

I don't know how helpful this would be, but I had a similar problem with my two cats. Essentially, it took time. I introduced them properly, but they still would hiss, growl, etc. for months. But they had no problem sharing litter boxes and food. It's now been a year since I've had both of them...

My foster prego is due any day now and I saw her looking for hiding spots this morning, so I think we're in the home stretch. I was just wondering for others that have done this, how long is it safe to leave the kitten in the sack with the cord attached before human intervention is necessary? I...
