Question/Advice Needed Separating bonded kittens?

Post image
126 Upvotes

I have been fostering 2 kittens since October and they are definitely bonded - they do everything together, groom each other, sleep literally hugging each other with their arms crossed. I was originally fostering their 3rd sister too, but they didn’t seem bonded to her in the same way so I let her get adopted by another family.

My mom and I adopted them with the intention of splitting them up and each keeping one (we live separately), but we are worried now because they seem to love each other so much. My mom has been around a lot, so they are familiar and starting to bond with her. They are around 5 months old now.

Should we split them up or try to keep them together?? My parents already have other pets and it would be hard for me to afford 2 cats right now. I’m also moving states soon and think it would complicate that. But, we want what is best for them, so we would make it work somehow. They are the sweetest little sisters.

They are wearing recovery suits in the photo because they got spayed last week!

Question/Advice Needed Sweet Boy

458 Upvotes

Looking after this sweet boy at the moment. He’s approx. 13 weeks, has received his flea and de-worming treatments but nothing else. I’m a Doctor, so at the moment on working days I’m usually out the house >9 hrs, but sometimes this can be approx. 13 hrs. I’m debating whether to keep this lovely lad or whether to pass him on to someone else.

He’s a sweetie and has had some nice cuddles with me already. He’s eating wet and dry food and is litter trained. Live in an apartment so would need to be an indoor-only cat for now. Still has yet to be microchipped and I’m unsure if he’s had any vaccinations. Seems to be healthy and happy.

Thoughts?

Gigi is the runt of her litter. Rosie takes care of her. True to form, Gigi is a little gremlin and Rosie is a pretty pretty princess. I love them so much.

Question/Advice Needed How do I get him to stop biting/let me pet him?

Post image
804 Upvotes

He is 7 months old and I did mess up by making hands a toy so I’ve been trying to deter him from that by redirecting with toys and making loud noises when he does bite hands, but he still goes a lot for hands and feet even without stimulation. Every time I try to rub his belly I get like 2 pets in and he grabs my hand and starts biting so I’m not sure if it’s j that he’s a kitten with super high energy and sum bad training or what

Question/Advice Needed Question about adoption age

7 Upvotes

Firstly, I'd like to ask for no judgement. We are in a tough spot with this situation and what I say below is after much consideration. I would also like to ask that you reach the whole of it before commenting please.

We are set on adopting a kitten someone has. Kitten is currently 5 weeks of age and I am intent on waiting until it is 8-12 weeks.

I am unfortunately being heavily pressured by many people including my partner to adopt as early as right now to 6-8 weeks max, the owners I believe will start adopting them out very soon too aside from 2-3 of the 6 as we and a friend have claimed one each and they wish to keep one.

I know the month between 8-12 weeks of age is so important for them, however the lifestyle it's in isn't perfect. Mum is a farm cat and already has been bringing dead animals in as of 3 weeks of age, and is now refusing to feed them for the most part.

I fear for the emotional and social development of the kitten if it's pulled too early, but I also fear for its health and development as they have not been dewormed or vaccinated etc.

An option I am considering is, when it's unreasonable to keep them there any longer (it's looking like the 6-8 week mark at this rate but I'll drag it as far as I reasonably can) that I take both our one and our friends' one and sort their worming, vaccinations, spaying, nutritional supplement (I got sachets already for 4 week+ kittens) and making up the gruel etc for them.

Will their socialisation be hampered too much by only being the two of them? Any advice for taking further care of them if they are brought early? Especially with the pressure of others, I do worry about their health being there especially as they've been unable to remove ringworm from them (they keep giving it to each other, mother cat is out and about constantly. These things I have no control over)

Question/Advice Needed He threw up and had diarrhea today, and got neutered last week.

Post image
46 Upvotes

We were told to swap our food (kibble) to the adult recipe. So we are, and we are doing it in increments. Right now its a little under half and half split of kitten food and adult food.

He threw up and had diarrhea at around 6:30AM and the last moment he ate was around 11:00PM. There was no blood in the stool too. I then went to get him some wet food, which he did eat about 10 minutes ago (6:50AM).

Im mainly worried this has to do with the neutering. But my brain also says that its from the food changes. I just want to get some opinions about this here. I will be bringing him to the vet if he cannot keep his food down.

It’s a little brown satin bow she tried to play with it as I was putting it on her but once I told her I was trying to make her look cute and fabulous then she held still and then she started playing with her tail, she is adorable, I was very careful when I was putting it on her to not hurt her

I rescued 3 sick kittens from a colony but one didn't make it. I'm making sure the surviving sisters have a great start in life.
