I am currently fostering a 8 month old neutered male "Tom" . When I got him 3 weeks ago he was SUPER afraid of people. Tom came with his sister who was MUCH friendlier and she got adopted last weekend. I've been working with Tom and he has gotten much better as far as not being shy but has...

No he was not tested for herpes. He was a street cat till about a two months ago so no one knows his history before that. The rescue does not test for that as I think it would be to expensive. He did get two distemper shots which I believe also help to prevent or decrease certain URI. Hoping he...

I volunteer for a small rescue group. I just got a 8 month old cat to foster to try and Socialize since he’s very scared and does not like to be touched. Well this morning I noticed he was Squinting one eye and sneezing. I’m HOPING it’s nothing or something he can fight off without meds as he...

They have Dried kitten food out all the time and get feed wet kitten food three times a day

I volunteer and fostering for a local rescue. I currently have 4 ten week old kittens that were orphaned and they were six weeks old. Mom was hit by car and kittens were rescued. Kittens seemed healthy at first but within days started having G I problems. All had really hard poop and did not...

I have a 9 week old kitten that I am fostering along with her mom and siblings since they were two weeks old. They all came to me with REALLY bad URI(Feline herpes per vet) and one died. The URI cleared up except the vet said they may get mild eye issues in times of stress which I have seen. The...

Monday my foster cat went to the vet for her rabies, Distemper, worming and Feline leukemia testing. Everything went fine till we got home. She was very Lethargic and had no interest in food. She threw up once bile but I think that’s it. Today Wednesday she is the same. Just laying around and no...

Ok I’m new to this cat rescue group and don’t know the normal protocol other rescues do. This group ONLY tests the mom for feline leukemia and maybe one of the kittens. When I questioned this they said their vet told them if the mom is negative so will be the kittens. Is this true??? I’m worried...

Thanks everyone for answering. To Respond to the questions asked I have asked local vets and still get different answers of why is the best time to test. There was a mom but she was so thin from Awful living conditions she was not nursing the kittens so we had to pull them. They were living with...

I would like some clarification regarding FELV testing. Some people said you can test any age BUT if you test under 6 months you could get a false positive. Other people have said You can never get a false negative but you can get false positives again at any age. Some people say you can test...

This is about the kitten I posted about last week that was not eating or gaining weight. Well he’s eating better thank god but NOT catching on to this litter box training like his siblings. Again he and his siblings came from a Hoarding situation where they were just peeing and pooping all over...

The litter box is made for kittens so the sides are really low. I’m only using non Clumping clay litter due to his young age. Don’t want to use any clumping litter in case he eats it. I only have one litter box in the play pen but that’s all there is space for. When I let them out to exercise...

I’ve had this kitten for two weeks along with two others that came from the same horder. May or may not be from same litter. Her place was a pig Stye and the animals were peeing/pooping all over. The other two kittens that came with him are using the litter box great but he is peeing and pooping...

Two weeks ago I got three foster kittens that were pulled from a hoarder. Two kittens now weigh 2 pounds and are eating great. One kittens only now weighs 1 pound 6 oz. In the two weeks I’ve had him he only gained 3oz. He looks healthy except he’s thinner than the other two. No URI or fleas. He...

Yes she has been wormed. Its highly unlikely its unrelated as the other eye is fine and there are no other symptoms.

I foster for a small rescue group and last Sunday two of the kittens were playing and the female let out a yowl and when I looked over she was squinting one eye like she got scratched. I thought nothing of it as she went back to playing and acting normal. Later that evening I noticed on that...

ok I will try the play pen. As far as cleaning I just read Apple Cider Vinegar could work. I would rather use that for cleaning some things like my wood/wall. Thoughts?

Unfortunately I only have one bathroom and twin girls who are in the middle of potty training and need easy access to the bathroom....Yes nightmare I know...I can get rid of the electronics but the bed and furniture has to stay. In this situation where they have to stay in this room what is the...

Ok I read the information on here about bleach killing ringworm in the environment BUT I need something else. The room I'm keeping the ringworm cats in has carpet, wood furniture, electronics, bed that I can't use bleach to clean. This is the ONLY room I can use for them so I have to fine...
