Sorry I didn’t update this - I’m looking after foster kittens and they’re very distracting! We decided the best solution was to phone the vet in advance and advise them of the full situation, and they advised sending a family member along to the appointment which we managed to do in the end. The...

All six kittens are weaning and litter training and doing amazing at 5.5 weeks, and mum is getting sick of them already lol. Here’s a pic of our little cuties ☺️

Melody and Velvet went to the vet yesterday, Melody has an eye infection and they gave her some eye drops ☺️ Velvet went because she keeps going floppy, her eating and weight gain is fine - turns out she’s just very very chilled - she’s the only one that likes being handled and I was worried...

No still waiting to hear back from them, she seems fine in herself and gained another 14 grams since yesterday, really hoping it’s just something minor! Some pics of Melody today

All going well until this evening - one of the runts eyes are looking sore. Her weight gain has been pretty good, she’s generally the loudest of the bunch but has been louder than usual the last day or so. Attaching pics, any idea what it might be? I’ve contacted the rescue too but just checking...

We’ve tried this. The owner is adamant they won’t rehome the cat as in her words ‘it’s her cat, she is suffering and she knows what’s best for it’. We’re working on other solutions to save the cat. Thank you all for the replies, I’ll keep you posted. Please send good vibes our way that we manage...

We have new home options already, so that’s not the issue in this case luckily. The cat is in good spirits other than peeing a lot and constantly hungry, so quality of life for this particular cat is still pretty good.

Our little mama cat is doing amazing and the kittens are all gaining between 10-20g a day so far. Here’s a pic of her little runts snuggling 🥰

This is our feeling too. It seems like the owner is either misleading the vet or reporting back false information from the vet, as the vet seems to have a good reputation from other people that we know have used them.

Thanks for the replies, very helpful. The context is the owner has said there is not much more the vet can do so the cat will need to be put to sleep. We disagree and are trying to persuade the owner to rehome the cat to someone who will explore other treatment options rather than euthanise if...

Is it usual for a diabetic cat to need to be put to sleep after not responding to treatment a month or so after being diagnosed? Are there any other avenues that could be explored?

So I took their first weights today at 10.15am, they are: Dark tabby - 124g Light tabby - 124g Black -123g Black & brown - 122g Calico - 109g Black & white - 102g The two smallest seem pretty tough at keeping hold of the nipples when the others try to fight them off them, but I’ll keep an eye...

Thanks, I will do! They all seem to be feeding well so far but the two who arrived last seem to be getting pushed aside a bit already. I’m giving Clover kitten formula to help with her milk - any tips on how to stop getting lumps in it would be much appreciated!

Clover had six kittens today! She was pretty freaked out bless her but did amazing ❤️

Sooooo.... turns out Coco was a very hungry, very chubby chipped & neutered male cat 😂 🤷🏻‍♀️ He went to the vet yesterday and they’re doing their best to trace his owners, if they can’t they’ll treat him and re home him ❤️ We’re now fostering a pregnant kitten called Clover ☘️ she’s soo tiny...

Still no kittens, but she’s getting fatter, she is eating a lot though 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Still no clue if she’s pregnant or just a chub, she’s enjoying all the kitten food though!

I think it’s probably best to wait it out as she’s just settled in and I think a vet visit would stress her out. I am a bit worried that she may be an older mum though if she is pregnant and that might cause complications with the kittens? I’m keeping a close eye on her anyway, which isn’t hard...

That’s what I thought too because of her teeth. No they don’t know much about her history unfortunately. My mum also had a very fat cat lol, but Coco is quite long so it’s hard to tell if she’s just chubby or pregnant 😂 but yeah I guess we’ll soon see! She’s been with us just over two weeks and...

Ah I see, thanks for all the advice! I’ve been reading lots but it’s great to have others opinions!
