Seems I have turned into a kitten rescue over the last year. I dont get many in as I just take them from the farm when they get sick or abandoned etc.

My newest charge I got Sunday night with a severe URI, dehydration, the works. HE as I found out today is in a poor state. I haven't named him yet, but so far hes doing rather well on meds with the usual TLC. I expect him to make a full recovery. I only had to sub q fluids 1x the rest was force feeding, he is now eating on his own!! Smile

My first charge of the year Chloe was abandoned at 4wks by her mother with a URI and still not eating/defecating on her own. She was my first kitten charge so I had to learn all the fun stuff like sub q, stimulation (making them go poo/pee) force feeding, formulas the works! She is now 8 weeks and evil. Wink


Please note that I am NOT a 'real' rescue I am still learning. I am a vet tech student with resources many people do not have, be careful when taking in rescues the financial aspect is astronomical! However, I will answer any and all questions but be aware you have a 50/50 chance of being fwded onto various rescues I am in contact with for better/full answers.

Please do NOT take any animal you see home with you, baby bunny's oftentimes are left alone, if you go away it will find its way back to its mother! DO NOT TAKE FAWNS you see laying the the grass! MOM WILL COME BACK! Please do your part in animals safety and leave wild animals wild!! Smile Smile

I have done alot of kitten rescues too! I have syringe fed over 25 babies! Then when they are old enough they're fixed and get their shots and you are so right about the cost! When mine are fixed and healthy they go to live in our barn which is right next to the house. The ferals live there too and they all get along very well! To me there is nothing sadder then a sick kitten!

Good deal!

I adopt the kittens I take in out (in less I am stupid enough to keep them) its just less risk in the barn since they are all wild. I am glad the colony accepts everyone Smile The barn cats at my mums would sooner rip a humans face off. They are all a bit wonky.

I can get in about 3 feet of my feral barn cats and they turn and run. If I stand there and just talk to them then they will stay and listen! Very Happy In the winter they all go in and out of the heated room, every once in awhile there
is a mild fight, just some batting, but they have never hurt each other!
Now when I try try to trap the ferals to be fixed that's another story! I wear a leather coat and gloves no matter what time of the year it is! Shocked

I hear you, those tests can be very costly and add up quickly!
