I have 5 foster kittens in my care right now with an URI. Two of them seem to be feeling worse than the others. They are very stuffy. They have all been on meds since Fri. I read a few older posts about this and I think I will try the steam treatment but I was wondering about nose drops. Is...

We have a foster kitten that has been diagnosed with coccidia. She is currently getting a 1/4 of a 125mg tablet of Albon, once a day. We are also giving her fluids several times a day because she is dehydrated. She has been on the meds for almost a week now and she still has had no...

We just noticed that one of our cats has tape worms. That probably means they all need to be treated. We recently had to treat them for fleas which seem to be gone now. We assume that's how they got the worms since they are all inside cats. It can get pretty expensive getting meds at the...

One of our cats is being treated for ringworm on her neck. The area appears to be getting smaller but the cream the vet gave us is almost gone. I was wondering if we could a product for human use, like Tinactin, instead of going back to the vet and getting more of the other stuff?

I finally put a few pictures together of the MommaKitties babies. They will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. Hopefully this link will take you there. http://www.ofoto.com/BrowsePhotos.js...=37126275203##

Our three 5 month old kittens are going back to the vet tomorrow for their booster shots. The little boy is as friendly as can be. His sisters, on the other hand, are always hiding. We just spent the past hour trying to catch the girls and put them in the cage so it will be easier to get them...

MommaKitty finally had her babies. My husband and I were away for the weekend and when we came home this afternoon we were greeted by one of our daughters with the question "Guess how many cats we have now!!" We now have a total of 12! She had 5 little ones. 2 orange tabbies and 3 dark...

Reading through a previous thread made me wonder if I shouldn't be feeding our expectant mom kitten food instead of regular cat food since she's due sometime in the next couple of weeks. I was also wondering if it would be too stressful for her to get tested and checked out at the vets. She...

We brought MommaKitty in the house a couple nights ago. She's the last of our "Porch Purrers" to come in. She is probably due to have her kittens in the next week or so. We have her in a separate room in the house where we also have a cage for her. She has spent the last couple nights in the...

Our 6 month kitty, Misty, who was apparently abandoned and has been with us for about 3 weeks now, has a problem. She growls a lot with the other cats in the house and with us. It doesn't look like she is trying to pick a fight. It appears as though she is trying to make friends with the...

I read in another post that 3 months was really too young to test for FIV and FeLV. What is the youngest age where the test results would be considered reliable? I am guessing that the 3 I finally caught last night are around 4 months old now. When I get them tested I want to be sure the...

I can't believe it, but we captured all 3 of our little porch purrers a few hours ago. Yesterday the cage I had ordered arrived. I put it out on the porch with their food and water in it so they would investigate. Tonight, I thought maybe I would put some canned cat food in the cage and try...

I'm gemini's daughter, Katie. I just had a question about our new cat, Misty. I like to play with her a lot, but sometimes she bites too hard and scratches, and I just wanted to know how to tell if the cat is annoyed, or if they are just playing. She's young, probably around 8 months, so she has...

We may have another stray on our hands! :blubturq: We've seen this kitty around for the past few days. She doesn't seem to have a home. My girls are going to ask around tomorrow to see if she belongs to a neighbor. She came right over to us tonight, meowing. We could pet her and hold her...

As you might remember, about a month ago, we had the pleasure of a mother cat and her 3 kittens take up residence under our front porch. I am seriously considering getting the mother cat spayed before she gets pregnant again. I read a thread about putting the "new" cat in a cage while in the...

Hope this works. Haven't had much luck posting pics. This is MommaKitty with Angel(gray, orange and white tabby) and Skitters(black, orange and white). You can't see the orange parts in the picture but they are there. My daughter Katie named Angel and Sara named Skitters. I haven't seen any...

We're trying to get a more accurate age for our three little babies that live under our porch. I believe all kittens have blue eyes when they are born. Does anyone know at what age they change? I noticed last night that their eyes are no longer blue, at least in 2 of them.

Hi...I was looking for some help over the weekend for a little kitten that had been dropped off along with its mom and siblings. I came across this wonderful site and had to join. We have 2 house cats at the moment. Spooky(all black) and Speckals(a dark tortoise shell). They are brother and...

Someone recently dropped a mother and her litter of babies near our home. They have been eating and seem fine except for one of the babies stopped eating yesterday. We noticed today that its throat seemes to be swollen. Could it have been stung by a bee? They won't let us get near them so we...
