Thank you everyone for the feedback and advice!
His play is always supervised so there hasn't been any issues yet, but I had just worried about swallowing toys where the feathers or mice toys are artificial fur instead of real fur. But it's reassuring to know not only that others haven't had...
Thank you! I have seen the skinneeez at a local store recently on sale, so I may try those first then! But for the fur on them, is there a risk of him pulling the fur out and swallowing it? I'm not sure about Kong cat toys, but there dog toys are pretty sturdy I've heard, but I'm not sure if...
Hello! I posted a while back abut some stray kittens and a mom someone had dumped and I fostered, and while the mom and two kittens were re-homed, I had to end up keeping two unfortunately. I'm still hoping to re-home them as soon as a rescue or home can take them, as unfortunately, living with...
the kittens were all boys! But, I do understand it is still important to have them neutered so they don't contribute to overpopulation, or in general roam around and risk getting hurt. Though that is another issue with my parents not wanting to fully commit or bring them inside while I'm away...
They are about five months, vaccinated but not neutered. About four months old now. With it being my parents house and them having excitable dogs, they still do not want to bring them inside, but I've been trying to talk to them about it especially with them considering keeping one. I'm not at...
Wanted to give an update and small question. It has been a while, they have all been to the vet. The mom even became an ESA of a friend of mine, so I receive regular updates. She is doing great, and has adjusted surprisingly well, and is adored around the dorm. But, two of the kittens are still...
So, update on the babies and mom:
2 kittens have a home (the ones who do not like people), the other two do not. The mom has a potential home, but I'm waiting to hear something definite
Some great news though, I was able to find an animal rescue who is covering the moms spay and vaccines, the...
Thank you, the questions especially helped a ton! I may try the down payment with the spay!/neuter agreement, but I'll have to talk to my vet about it and how I could work that out. Plus, prices or atleast a median price that could pay half/be the cost of the cat or kitten.
Still no word from...
Just wanted to give an update, and questions about rehoming them:
Still no word from the rescue. I've contemplated calling them, but the call said email them about intakes, and where it's not an emergency situation, I'm worried they would just refer me back to their email.
The kitten's...
If their mom is still letting them nurse and they are doing OK on the kitten kibble, should I still give them goats milk?
I'm not 100% on age, but bought the kibble after they got sick eating the mom's food when I fed her adult cat food. They haven't gotten sick on the kitten kibble, but I...
I emailed the rescue, waiting on a response. But, I did have a question regarding one of the kitten's fur.
Would this fever coat? Or is the kitten just have odd-colored fur? They seem healthy otherwise, they are the fiestiest of the three (it was hard getting a good picture of them because of...
Alrighty, will do!
Walmart didn't have any wet kitten food, but they did have Purina kitten chow. I'll call the rescue in the morning and give an update then.
I planned to get kitten food today, they have all been getting moistened kibble until I can get out though. I'd rather not get specific about location, but I live in rural Kentucky. It's currently 86 degrees.
I have one bowl under the porch, and another near the hole the kittens hide in, I...
I have been trying to foster a stray who showed up and had kittens, with her just recently bringing a few of the kittens out. I'm not sure how old they are, but estimate about three weeks? They just showed up yesterday, and I know there are atleast two, but only one will let me close at the...
So recently, my parent's yard got fenced in for their dogs. One of my cats had been interested in going outside all her life, occasionally sneaking out but never running far. With the danger of the neighbors dogs getting her gone, i thought it may be possible to start letting her outside.
She...
As far as I know, he has no health issues. His mom had quite a few since she was a stray I found in 2019 (Malnourished, Mammary cancer, digestion issues). All of her kittens were pretty malnourished as well when I found them, but they never seemed to have health issues and none have emerged as...
I don't think so, because as I said, last time he got scared was when he was walking across a blanket his sister was under. I don't believe his tail was touched. And he will also let you touch his tail while you pet him.
I have a cat who is usually a pretty loveable and plafull boy. However, sometimes, especially on my bed, he will randomly get scared and freak out over something? Usually it seems to be when a blanket or chord (such as a phone charger) touches him. This usually happens about once a week, and it...
Her right ear is bleeding on the outside because she is scratching so much, so I am definitely going to call the vet tomorrow and see if they think I should bring her in or start the medicine back.
They did not flush her ears last time I don't think, so I may see if they will this time since...
