*Before Commenting, Please Note*
*These kitties are NOT ours. We foster through our local rescue. The cats come into the shelter as strays or owner surrenders.
*ALL cats are vaccinated, spayed and neutered before the rescue allows them to be adopted
*Yes, these kittens are adorable but not all of them are lucky enough to make it into foster care for the chance to survive. PLEASE Spay & Neuter your pets!
*YES, their bedding is changed and litter boxes are scooped throughout the day. Sometimes I clean AFTER a video so I can catch something they are doing on camera.
*The rescue covers all healthcare but we pay for most fostering costs out of our own pocket. These costs include food, litter, bedding, toys, gas to drive to & from the shelter, etc.
*Some Amazon links I post are referral links. Any small amount earned goes directly toward buying kitten supplies.
*Yes, we have a Wish List on Amazon & the link is above!
*You can email Missi at FosterTheFelines@hotmail.com

    😭, just rescued this little guy outside a hotel here in TX during this nasty weather. He was so skinny, but screaming his little head off. Took him home, bathed him, and he seemed to be doing good. He had his 'milk' teeth, so fed him with a dropper with goats milk I had in the fridge that had defrosted...and he also ate some of the fancy feast infant pate. Even used the litter box. But he started fading last night...gave him water&salt&Karo....went to the store this am for Pedialyte......came back and he was gone. 😢. He was a cutie too....black and white with little "bandit" markings, even a little ❤ on his paw.😭 I love black&whites......my 3 foster fails are gray&tabby. Asked the MOST HIGH 2 welcome him N2 heaven and keep him there 4 me. Along with my dog Rolo, his kitty brother Oreo.....my baby I brought when I moved back from England..."Winston"..Rest N peace little Bandit...😢 I take comfort in knowing rhat at least his last hours here were not trying to stay alive in a storm....that he did have food and cuddles..he even purred a little the night before last.....😢

    • @FosterTheFelines
      @FosterTheFelines Місяць тому

      Yes, you can try the coconut oil and it can go in the eye. I smear it on the eye and open and close the lid several times to try to get it inside. I know I have a vid somewhere demonstrating this, and if I can remember which one it is, I will come back with a link for you. Conjunctivitis can get serious very quickly so if I am see seeing an improvement in several hours (like overnight) I will get them to the vet to get some antibiotic ointment.

    I was the only one there for my kitten who was the last born in the litter. The mama cat isn't even doing anything to try to help their baby. The baby is weak. Wobbly, struggling to breath, dehydrated, cold. I tried to keep the baby warm. Doing what I can to help. I don't have almost all of the things that was mentioned in the video sadly. Only surger and water which I mixed well and did small finger drops to the baby's mouth. The baby is still alive and struggling and my own mother wouldn't let me try to save it even more. Just told me to leave it to the mama cat. All I know is the baby isn't gonna live until the next day. Thanks to my mom. I was crying when I held it for the last time. I did everything I can for him.

      It's worth a try. I obviously can't guarantee it will work, but it could buy enough time to allow antibiotics or other treatment to work. If you're able to pull him through, since there is an active infection, you'll need to plan on continuing a super vigilant watch for any signs that he's fading again and restart the protocol. Good luck ❤️🙏🏻

      We had actually been bottle feeding them but they get so many benefits from staying with their mom if possible. It's always a good idea to try to make it work with mom if you can. We did continue to supplement these guys until her milk production went up but she did accept them. She even went on to be a surrogate mama to 5 orphaned babies!

    My cat has a pretty serious abcess that keeps getting reinfected. We've been treating it with antibiotic injection. She's got CKD so she can't go under anasthesia. Between trying to keep her hydrated with subcutaneous fluids and getting her to eat with anti nausea and appetite stimulant medication and monitor her recurring abcess infection from getting worse it's been a difficult journey. She's strong though. She looks like your kitty. ❤ shoutout to Tuxedo cats!

    • @lindseycassella3015
      @lindseycassella3015 11 днів тому

      Sadly, she passed away a little over a month ago. She was getting convenia injections every couple of weeks. I also gave her a short cycle of tobramycin drops for her eyes. I think she had progressed to an advanced stage rather quickly. I had her tested about 3 months prior, and she had been borderline stage 3. I last had her retested her for anemia after weeks of varenzin treatment, and those levels were still within normal range. I have learned that CKD is the most common disease with cats. Some cats can live for years on a subcutaneous fluid and renal diet. I think it depends on genetics and age. I wish you and your cat all the best. Cherish every moment you have together.

    I have two kittens, i bring momma in to help feed. Momma cat prefers her healthy kitten over the sickly looking one. Occasionally, I will come back to the fading one apart from them two. I dont know why it's happening. I try to feed it, and it doesn't want to feed. It's simultaneous feeling of joy and sadness. Joy because healthy kitten is thriving. And. Sad because fading kitten isn't. I like my fading kitten because it looks like a gremlin. I want it to survive.

    You DID get it in his eye!!! starting at 49 second of the video you wipe your hand completely over his face, starting at second 52, you can see him squinting and blinking with discomfort and you are completely oblivious to his discomfort. You should never wipe your sulphur covered gloves over a cat or kitten's face but use a small sponge squeezed out to carefully apply the dip to his head, by dabbing it, being very careful to NOT get any in his eyes, by applying too much and letting it run down into his eyes. I always rub a small cloth upward above the eyes catch any sulphur. Be sure to have an eye wash saline solution to rinse should you happen to get any in the cats eye. There are many good videos on sulphur dipping. This is not one of them.

    • @FosterTheFelines
      @FosterTheFelines 8 місяців тому

      The hand did not touch his whole face. The hand only made contact with the side of his face and forehead. The only reason that was done was to make sure there would be no Sulphur dripping into his eyes because kittens shake the liquid off of themselves and the mist can go everywhere. I just rewarched the video 4 times. We did not spray or wipe his eyes. Any Sulphur you see near the eyes at all was carefully applied off camera as I could not do this and film at the same time. And yes, I keep saline on hand for any accidents. I don't know what kind of Sulphur you used but the kind our vet gave us absolutely burned our eyes just being in the same room. It must be amazing to know everything about situations you weren't present for.

It felt like it was never going to work and she just laid there lifeless for hours but I stuck with it (and I prayed a lot). I didn't stop the 3 minute intervals until 4am when she finally looked up at me and meowed a tiny mew mew. It was the most incredible feeling. It works! But you can't give up if it doesn't work right away. Keep going....drink coffee & stay alert. Good luck to everyone 💓

    What is the best medicine for kitten diarrhea

    • @FosterTheFelines
      @FosterTheFelines 10 місяців тому

      I can't remember the name of the medicine our shelter vet usually uses. For over the counter, you can try pure pumpkin puree or slippery elm bark. If kitten is still on a bottle, you will use tiny tiny amounts shaken into the milk. The pumpkin will need to be blended well enough so as not to clog the bottle. Start with maybe an ⅛ of a tsp of pumpkin and 1-2 drops from a dropper of slippery elm. There are sometimes dosing instructions by eight on the slippery elm bottle. Try to find a brand with dosing instructions and refer to that (as different brands sell different concentrations, i cant give solid dosing info on that). For older kittens you can add both to their canned food. A lot of cats like pumpkin as a treat by itself. Start with small amounts of pumpkin or slippery elm to see how they tolerate it and you can increase a tiny bit at a time. Older kittens may do well with a ¼ to 1 tsp total a day. With either of these supplements, you will need to watch for stool firmness. They are both actually great for constipation AND diarrhea. You just have to make sure their stool don't go to firm or too soft. Decrease dosage if it goes too far in either direction.

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you! I rescued a kitten at what I assume was around 4 weeks old and for two weeks he was thriving, just living his best life. Then he took a nosedive. He was glassy eyed, lethargic, no appetite and no interest in playing, he just curled up in a ball and slept. I was so freaked out, even though I'd only had him for two weeks this was NOT like him and it just felt like something was very wrong. Once I googled his symptoms and saw that it was most likely FKS, I searched on here for what to do and your video came up! I fed him sugar water and evaporated goats milk with a dropper and he perked up!! It took a few days until he was fully recovered but he seems to be all better. I pray this won't happen again. Thank you so much for this information!

      It's not a certainty that they will both be sick with the same thing but if the 2nd kitten is having the same symptoms as the 1st one, it's probably likely. To be honest, it's been my experience that a lot of veterinarians don't have a lot of experience treating tiny kittens and will recommend euthanasia for a Fading Kitten. It doesn't mean they won't help, it's just not a guarantee that they can/will. The 2 biggest things are warming them up and raising their blood sugar. If you don't have the syrup I mentioned you can substitute with honey, maple syrup, sugar in water -anthing sugary that isn't candy. Follow the protocol as closely as you can with what you have available. ❤️🙏🏻

      It's possible they will be completely fine! Just keep a close eye on them and start the honey & warmth again immediately if they start to show symptoms.

      I'm so sorry 😞 If you have rescues/shelters in your area, you might contact them and ask if they have a foster program with volunteers that can pick up the kitten.

      The kitty didn't make it... also there aren't any rescues/shelters and vets nearby. There's people who catch stray animals but... It's not really something "pet-friendly"
