I got to kittens from a lady who owns a farm and was not taking care of them. She lets all these poor babies live in a wood shed with no back on there. The lady is one of my friends dad's sisters, My friends mom has begged her to fix these poor cats but she says they donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t do that on farms. My friends mom knew my boyfriend and I where looking at shelters to bring home 2 babies to spoil. So she told me about her sister in law and offered to have her husband bring me 2. Well I guess at one point there was purebred Siamese that lived on the farm and had kittens, and that cat is no longer on the farm the ladies daughter moved out and got smart and took the cat and had it fixed. Well there are no cats on the farm now that look like Siamese but I guess, occasionally a regular cat will have a Siamese looking kitten. I told the lady I would like to cats from the same litter that where older than 8 weeks. Well at that time one of the cats had 3 Siamese and a black on in her litter. I asked for the 2 females and her daughter took the other male. So they where able to catch the male and the female so my friends dad brought me one on Sept 21. We named her Angel and she had a bad eye infection, we took her to the vet the next day and they put her on, eye cream started with a Trysomthing and then come upper reparatory stuff Claromox and some ear drops, and flea stuff. At the vet they said she was only 6-8 weeks I was not happy but I was thrilled she never had to see a barn again. The next weekend we where supposed to drive 3 hours to get the other kitten Angels sister. Well the lady was avoiding my friendâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s moms calls and then just said she did not have a chance to catch her. They catch them by throwing a big net, then they wonder why they all hide. Well so we agreed to meet on Friday to get the other kitten. Thursday rolls around and she tells us she canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t find the Angels sister so she will catch one for me. I was nervous about this one because I knew it was younger than angel was but the lady kept saying “oh yeah it is old enough to goâ€. So we made arrangements to go on Oct 3rd and get the other little one. When we got there and seen the kitten I almost broke down into tears she was so little and had so much crusty stuff around her eyes she could not open one of them. I knew there was no way she was as old as this lady was saying but there was no way I was sending her back home with her. We got her in the car and cleaned her eyes a little with a warm towel but did not want to stress her too much. The warm water seemed to make her more comfortable. Well along the car ride the kitten had the runs because the lady gave her milk. We where to far away to bring her right to the vet right away so we brought her home and washed her up. The poor thing was starving. She had a vet visit the next day and she had eye issues and a upper reparatory issue she was on Trysomething and the Claromox too. She also has fleas but due to the fact that she was only 3 or 4 weeks old she canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t get treated. I have no clue how this lady could have thought it was ok to send home such a young kitten is beyond me. We named our new baby Lucky.
We gave lucky all her meds and her eyes are beautiful now, but she does sneeze still so we went back to the vet.
Angels Fleas seemed to be gone I brush her all the time, and do not see any. Lucky had fleas on her I would brush her and killing any fleas I found. I have not found any on Lucky in a few days. I seen Friday night Angel has Tape worm, so off to the vet we go, At the vet we had a vet we never seen before in the other 3 times we had been there. She treated me like crap and was talking down to me and saying how I have to treat me house 1st for the fleas not my cats and it was my fault she had tape worm. I was feeling very bad about my self because I love these cats and I am doing everything I can to get them well, these cats are costing me a small fortune in all the meds they need. The cats are being kept in separate rooms for now till they are better, Angel is on more eye meds and they are both on Claromox for another 5 days. I was so frustrated and upset I did not ask the important questions like is it save to use flea powder around the 5-week kitten? A fogger? Should I be doing anything else to make sure we kill all the fleas? Also does will the shot they gave Angel kill the Tapeworm in her tummy? What brand flea powder, is there stuff that says kitten save(I did not see any I looked) Finally the stuff I seen said it was citrus scented I thought I read somewhere that that attracts cats to pee or makes them not want to go in that area? Is either of these correct. Please answer any of the questions you can and I am sorry for how long it is. I already made the next vet appointment and I will make sure my babies never need to see that vet again.
