***We interrupt our regularly scheduled Mancat Monday post for some important news***
Meet our newest foster kitten, yet to be named. Our man servant did a marathon trapping session Saturday night/Sunday morning to try to get Reilly and Sebastian's mom. He set the traps and checked them about every hour. When he checked the traps at around 1:30am, this is what he found! He continued to check the set traps until 9am on Sunday morning, in the pouring rain, but momma cat never showed up.
This kitten is around 9-10 weeks, full of floof and sweet as can be! They had to give him/her a bath and the kitten actually purred the whole time and didn't try to escape the tub! What the? That's just not normal!
Anyway, the kitten's tummy is about 3 times the normal size and very tight.....a good sign of worms. So with the help of a friend, they de-wormed and de-flead (sp?) the kitten. They will be fostering it until a new foster or adoption family can be found......hopefully not long!
Maggie May went to the vet on Tuesday and she's in perfect health with knee caps in place, yay! This was her first ever annual visit with vaccinations. She weighed in at 8lbs and is in perfect body condition! She was such a good girl during the car ride and at the office.
The new black foster kitten has a name, it's Saylor! She also had a vet appointment on Tuesday. Saylor has a few issues going on at the moment. She was heavily infested with spirometra tapeworms, roundworms and she also tested positive for coccidia. On top of that, she has a protruding rectum that was caused by the infestation. This requires the lady to keep the area moist with a solution and also some ointment. If it gets worse, she may need surgery. We're keeping our paws crossed!! She is loving life as a spoiled kitten and has her very own room while she is recovering.
