update cat flu kittens:
update cat flu kittens:
Got mum trapped and spayed this morning, she tested clear for FELV 7 FIV last kitten now at ladies house with medicine, other 5 seen by vet one not expected to make it but i have told it nothing is dying on my watch so got fluids and simicat down it overnight and so far still breathing so where there is life there is hope. Other four, two are ok on antibiotics and one like deathly one is on fluids but it is bright so no imediate danger, vet fell in love with one which was one of the ones eating though still poorly and I said "yes" she can have that one:-) so she is giving that one a home. So I am left with the four here, 2 eating, one dehydrated but taking fluids and one I am fighting life into with all the tricks i have up my sleeve :-) wish me luck
I have kitten napped these five from a shed in an allotment, woman allotment holder knows i have em but owner of cat doesn't (yet) and she reckons he wont be happy, have no signed accept form and am in big trouble. Have told her if he turns nasty say i will report him to RSPCA, council, you name it. Woman going to try and get mum and we will spay her, she is feral, lots of bigger kittens there too and mum cats which he keeps in his garden, nice place but poorly kittens and to many unneutered cats. Left message saying we available to help and that to act now as who knows when we run out of funds etc, also told if Environment health or RSPCA go in the lot will be put down. All rest look healthy just this litter of six to much for mum cat, left one kitten which eyes are fine with mum as woman is going to take home and keep once weaned and its a safe shed where it is. tut tut shouldnt be impulsive :-Monday, 15 August 2011
Cats Protection Wear Valley & Darlington Volunteering - Feral Kittens
Cats Protection Wear Valley & Darlington Volunteering
Today has been like a lot of other days spent trapping feral kittens, 7 from one location with more to come and of course the adults 7/8 of which will be neutered. All this is a huge drain on the Charity resources and is so preventable if only people were responsible. Inbreeding has caused lots of health issues in these kittens including eye problems, a colony which will have started with one uneutered stray!
A feral Cat is a descendant of a domesticated cat that has returned to the wild.
It is distinguishably from a stray cat, which is a pet cat that has been lost or abandoned, while feral cats are born in the wild; the offspring of a stray cat can be considered feral if born in the wild.
Feral cats are distinct from stray cats or lost pets in their attitude toward humans; whereas a stray or lost cat may approach humans and can be handled easily, feral cats typically resist prolonged human contact.
A domestic cat that has reverted to wild, unsocialized behavior, or a descendent of such a cat. Feral cats live without significant human contact and they are not socialized to interact with humans. Their behavior is generally wary, fearful or aggressive depending on the situation. Feral cats are most frequently found in urban and suburban areas, though breeding populations of feral cats can occur anywhere.
