Thank you for that, bc I swore the last one was the ‘last one’
Okay so he’s on a 4 month quarantine and was at the vet for 2 months, something spooked him there and they wanted him to get discharged ASAP as he started swatting at them, I’ve had him less than a week and he’s warmed up to me (no...
Hi all,
I’m rescuing my 4th cat, I’d call them ferals, bc they are from the outdoors, but I believe they are abandoned house cats, bc 2 out of 4 have been so friendly, the 3rd took a year to warm up, and now a 4th that was injured during a snow storm is finally home w me, he’s on rabbie...
A little background, I live in a high population feral community, or people are abandoning their cats. I took (what I didn't realize at the time) a 9 month old kitten in, he was hanging out on my back deck for a while rubbing against my leg for food, and he's now a house cat and amazing (he's...
So, I’m clearly not as patient as I’d like to believe, I’ve been wondering and worrying about these babies for weeks, following the cat all over the neighborhood and I was about to post a day or so ago to ask if she’d abandoned them, Bc she started hanging around longer, didn’t seem like she was...
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I have all my scenarios covered off on. I'm so excited for the kittens and then worried if NONE show up, that mama will end up prego again. But mama kitty sure does appear to be eating like she's nursing!
When you say give it a day or 2, leave mama and the kitties outside and don't take any wait for her to come back at least 1 more time, to make sure she has them all?
Just by chance she abandoned her kitties and they don't come, should I wait until week 8 or 9 to grab mom just to be safe/sure?
Hi there,
I had a few more questions, this coming weekend will be 4 weeks, I’m really hoping mama comes w the kittens soon! Few questions about it though, will all of them come at one time? Meaning should I grab mom and kittens all at one time? Would she only bring some by at a time? She’s...
Hello All,
I wrote around 2 weeks ago, trying to find a stray cat that I'm sure had kittens. The moms been coming back often and we're feeding her wet food and lots of dry food and water. She comes back at least x2 per day. I know the kitties are close. I can't find them. I'm tempted to post a...
Thank you! I really appreciate the reply/support/help!
I used this site a few years back when I rescued another cat at my back door who seemed like a stray, and with the help of everyone her, he's so well adjusted inside!
I think I could find a way, but I haven’t seen it yet. If it were my house they’d be out already. We were just looking for the cats and the neighbor wasn’t thrilled
So I already reached out to the shelter and they said they would help w the fostering, but understandable.
I would grab mom...
help!
I feed a few feral cats and I had an inclining a new one was pregnant and I should’ve brought her in sooner, and she was gone 2 days and came back several kittens lighter. She’s definitely given birth, and I can’t get to where I think she hid the kittens. What to do? How can I get to the...
I'm pretty sure it was all stress related at this point. He didn't eat on his own for 1-1.5 days and when he would eat a few pieces he would puke them up after what seemed like he'd been scared from something (*noting I have a 20 month old child). Wednesday night into Thursday am was the first...
Okay, thank you for the reply and advice.
I think his skin is okay, noting I've been petting him a lot. But will try this test at home later today, I'm hoping its just stress...noting him liking me w him, I've been trying to spend as much time as possible.
I have a toddler so the only alone...
So he's still puking, it's less than yesterday but still puked 3 times last night...
I'll schedule the vet and hope he gets better before? I'm worried now about dehydration, etc as he's barely eating...but is still drinking.
His food did not change from coming in, I've been feeding him the...
Okay, so cat seems to be adjusting okay. Like everyone said two steps fwd.
He's been fine and we accidentally turned off the lights to the basement last night, come down this am and he's puked and peed, not in the litter box. Didn't eat much yesterday...
Seems to prefer to be pet then eat...
Good morning,
I wanted to share an update with all my helpful cat lovers out there, who I really appreciate in my time of need for this cat. I had him (I thought it was a female for a while, until I started petting it) neutered yesterday he got right into the plastic cage, came home completely...
That is wonderful to hear about your cats! 6, I'm going to have to work up to that!
Okay, everyone keeps saying be patient...
What are the challenges beyond peeing, meowing...
He doesn't like to picked up, I tried starting to touch his paws...he's not a fan of that either.
So once I get...
