I believe he went to a different foster home. Someone else with experience with medical cases. The coordinator said that he will have a check up Thursday (two days from now) and they will go from there. I did request an update and the coordinator was happy to oblige.

I still don’t have a lot of hope but it seems like there could be a tiny chance of recovery if the vet is trying another option so we will see.

Thank you! I’m so glad your kitty made a recovery and that gives me more hope for this little guy.

Shortly after my update the shelter got back to me and I explained that he is basically unresponsive even when he does come out of his seizures. I told them I thought he was beyond my care and needed emergency care so they got me in right away. I dropped him off and they checked his glucose...

Update on the little guy. He’s just like barely alive at the this point. Yesterday was dental clinic day at the shelter so the foster coordinator gave the doctor my notes but I guess the doctor didn’t have time to go over them. So we had another full day and night of seizures. Initially his...

Thank you, I really hope it’s treatable and that he can live a good, long life!

I suppose anything is possible! I’m not sure where him and his mama came from but he is not scared of people or other cats at all. If he had gotten into something toxic would it still be causing issues days later though?

Just wanted to share a little update on Sweetie Pie. She actually has been adopted and gone to her new forever home now ☺️ Her adopter is a woman that has experience with special needs animals so she’s in great, capable hands. When she came over to meet Sweetie she told me she once had a cat...

My shelter is aware and the vet returns tomorrow so we’ll figure out a game plan for treatment at that point but I’m interested in hearing about other peoples’ experiences with kittens that have seizures! I took in a special needs foster kitten. He came to the shelter with his mama and seven...

I have an update! Sweetie got her staples removed and I was so worried that any progress with her would disappear after a trip to the vet but she’s actually doing great! She freaked out going back in the carrier and being in the car but they said she did good at her appointment and she was much...

Absolutely! I will check back in with this post Wednesday after she gets her staples removed. I’m a little worried that the vet trip might undo any of her progress but we’ll see. Hopefully not 🤞

She is getting better and more comfortable every day. I haven’t seen her tremble as much and she hasn’t touched her staples again. She absolutely hates being locked in her room, even though I tried to set it up as comfy as possible with boxes and scratchers and soft blankets, but that’s alright...

Thank you for the added advice! I have been using grooming wipes and a brush because I know she can’t groom very well right now. She had quite a few mats cut off too so I don’t think she was grooming very well even before the surgery, probably because her belly is so big!

Surgery was 10 days ago so she is still in the very fresh healing stages. She had her front right leg removed and I definitely agree that her weight is keeping her from moving around more. Every few hours I try to encourage her (with treats) to get up and walk for just a couple of minutes. I...

Thank you!! I ran to the store and made her some baby food soup and she loved it! I also got her different kibble and she’s eating it right up. I feel so awful for the poor girl. We don’t know a lot of her history but a woman brought her in needing the amputation surgery and the shelter said...

I just want to start out and say that I plan to contact the foster coordinator in the am because I don’t think this a true emergency but I’m curious if anyone else has experience with cats right after amputation surgery. I brought my new foster, Sweetie, home on Monday. She seemed to be in good...

You’re totally right! I will call and update the vet tomorrow.

Sorry! So as I said in my last post, Tuesday he seemed to be acting a little more normal. I’m thankful to report that he has been improving since then. Another thing I forgot to mention is that my sister has been staying with me and she brought her two cats. In addition, we have three foster...

Thank you for your response! He had only lost a pound since his last vet appointment in October which is considerable but not a crazy amount. The clinic I took him to is actually cat only and they specialize in hyperthyroidism so they definitely checked that! Unfortunately he hasn’t had...

Oh no, I’m so sorry that you also had to deal with back to back illnesses. I’m going to the store today to pick up a few different types of foods. If this is kidney and also considering his age he probably needs a higher quality wet food than what I’ve been giving him anyway (fancy feast). We’re...
