H1 Hunnies, i'm gonna split the thread and pop the discussion over to the rescue section so you can continue the it if you want to or pm each other, whichever you wish. It's good to see you able to dissuss your diff views in Rescue as i am sure each rescue can all work in different ways to help the cats. It's interesting for us non rescues peeps to learn of these things but also respect if you prefer to keep it to pm's.

Discussion thread moved to here in Rescue room

very true Lesley.... the wee one left out of the other litter really seems to be perking up now he is completely on hand feeding and has a wee pal. fingers crossed it continues!

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #38 on:** February 05, 2008, 15:56:11 PM »

Poor babies but you can only do your best hun

Pleased to hear the little one is doing well and great that's he's got a little pal

LesleyW · « **Reply #37 on:** February 05, 2008, 15:32:02 PM »

Aaaah, sorry you lost the babies Sarah, but at least these two have company and I find they thrive better when there is more than one when they are "orphans". Lots of cuddles and hugs to both of them and to you.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #36 on:** February 05, 2008, 15:25:43 PM »

well the wee man is doing fine today. Still vocal and feeding well. He also has a room mate.

We lost the other kitten that mum crushed through the night so I have taken away her last remaining kitten and it gives the wee ginger boy some company too with someone to cuddle into.

will try and get a couple of pics later for you all.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #35 on:** February 05, 2008, 07:44:11 AM »

Aww, fingers crossed for everyone.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #34 on:** February 05, 2008, 03:15:28 AM »

She wants him back RR. I do think she genuinely cares for him and called last night to see how he was and sounded ever so relived to know he was still alive.

I do hope that this time round tho that she gets him neutered sooner rather than later and will of course be advising her on options etc. Perhaps not a perfect outcome but I believe he will be loved and cared for if he can make it through.

(why am I up at 3am.. mmmm... bottles and hot water bottles!

sadly we also lost another of the wee kittens off the mum earlier as she has lay on it and suffocated / crushed it along with another sibling. Other sibling alive for now but not looking good. Needless to say I've had enough of mum and taken the babies away for now.)

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #33 on:** February 05, 2008, 00:14:22 AM »

He's gorgeous and he's the spitting image of how Baby Sean was bless him

Good luck with him Sarah, I'm sending positive vibes that he makes it

MBll · « **Reply #32 on:** February 04, 2008, 23:31:51 PM »

Sarah does the lassie want him back or willing to have him rehomed? Hes a wee cracker

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #31 on:** February 04, 2008, 20:29:42 PM »

Cor!

It's like a puddy's emergency room we've got up here.

Well done to all concerned for plucking puss from the brink. Here's hoping the little tot grows up to be a huge and happy boy.

caledonia · « **Reply #30 on:** February 04, 2008, 18:16:13 PM »

You really do such a fantastic job - this wee one looks like a cutie and I know he is in the best hands. Good luck with the new MUm too - I really hope it works out for them all, I really don't know how you manage it!!

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #29 on:** February 04, 2008, 16:41:20 PM »

its nice to know you even thought it Lesley! and thanks to everyone else too

Hopefully this isn't a sign of what is to come this summer in terms of kittens and pregnant mums. Will be one helluva year if it is especially starting this early!

Corporal Smokey · « **Reply #28 on:** February 04, 2008, 15:57:35 PM »

Sarah you're a saint!

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #27 on:** February 04, 2008, 15:19:42 PM »

Aww will keep fingers toes eyes and everyhting crossed for this lot, keep up the good work

LesleyW · « **Reply #26 on:** February 04, 2008, 14:55:58 PM »

Sarah, sounds like you are having it tough at the moment, wish I could help but I don't think we could be farther apart.

to you.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #25 on:** February 04, 2008, 14:47:13 PM »

I will keep you all updated on this tiny tots progress. He's doing grand today and seems to be more restful this afternoon and his tummy is far less bloated than it was. He's a good wee eater now bless him!

Angie - dynamic duo are doing grand (she says as it nears the 8th!!) Just been mega hectic here as I have another mum with kittens who had complications, c-section and isn't the maternal type and is making a lot of extra work for me. Not to mention she has very very little milk so having to hand feed that lot too to top up. Not sure if this little lot will make it but I'll do my best for them

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #24 on:** February 04, 2008, 12:51:19 PM »

Sarah he is georgeous, he's in the best hands. hope all is well with the dynamic duo, i was going to pm you

kelly-joy · « **Reply #23 on:** February 04, 2008, 12:12:26 PM »

Aww he is adoreable . gald someone didn't bring him to my door like they did with little astra as I def keep him too.

. Sarah please keep us updated on this wee one. I wish him lots of luck that he is strong enough to pull through

Mark · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2008, 09:15:58 AM »

Does the colostrum have to be taken as soon as the kitten is born?

I have seen these Colustrum & vitamin kits http://www.nutrecare.co.uk/latest_detail.asp?prod_id=1498&id=141&grpid=1498&msg=&offset=480

Or item 797 on here for 100grams of colustrum which I guess can be added to Cimicat or similar?
http://www.smyleepets.co.uk/SmyleeMain/vb-product.asp?CategoryID=46

They also have various dry kitten milks which I would imagine are better than Cimicat?

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #21 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:54:44 AM »

thanks lesley

we'll just have to see how it goes but as I said to the lady last night I'll pull out all the stops for him as I would any cat we have here in our care. Unfortunately he wasn't able to suckle from his mother at all following birth so he hasn't received any of the colustrum or goodness from mum.

all fingers crossed here anyways. will keep you posted tho.

LesleyW · « **Reply #20 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:47:39 AM »

Well done for taking him in Sarah and I'm sending you all the luck and positivie thoughts in the world for this little one, I know what heartbreakers they can be and what hard work they are for such little souls.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #19 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:38:33 AM »

Yes he is safe and sound and a good wee thing really.

First chance at the correct kitten formula and you'd think he hadn't been fed for a month! lol bless him.

he is doing well and is asleep just now. Here is a wee pic I took last night when he came in. Apparently he is persian as both the mum and dad were. Poor wee soul is the last survivng kitten from the litter but he is a wee fighter so fingers crossed he can pull it off. I'll certainly give him all I can just hope that will suffice in the end!

I'll keep you posted with pics, etc as he goes.

kelly-joy · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:07:10 AM »

Aww great news kitty is in safe hands now. what colour is the little darling? can we see a wee pic of her please

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2008, 23:19:07 PM »

yip... I will do RR.

MBll · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2008, 22:42:33 PM »

I emailed this person & give her some contact numbers including CATS, she has posted giving an update which is this

Many many thanks to everyone who contacted us with numbers, advice and support. We have now found help with the kitten from Sarah at www.cuparcats.co.uk/ so the kitten is now in very experienced hands and we will keep everyone updated as to the kittens wellbeing.

Sarah can you let jan know that im asking for her.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #15 on:** February 03, 2008, 19:38:19 PM »

I could be wrong peeps... but I've a funny idea that this is the kitten that has just landed at my door! ????

Sorry I've not been on the forum in a few days guys. I've been rushed off my feet with a mother with complications during birth and still now!!! (been a really long few days with her) and my best friend has been rushed into hospital with terminal cancer SO not the best of weeks

Anyhoo.. if it is this kitten that I have here which I think it is judging by the story he is safe and sound for now.

I'll be rearing him for now and see how he gets on. The lady does genuinely care for the little one and has tried her best. Sadly the constant mixed messages she's been getting have her in a tizz!

LesleyW · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2008, 13:10:38 PM »

It's a shame I'm so far away, could have been the first babe in the intensive care unit, sounds like she might need it. Hope somebody is able to help her.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2008, 21:27:40 PM »

fingers crossed - goats milk is supposed to be better than cows milk.

MBll · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2008, 20:37:22 PM »

Just sent oout an appeal

Has she tried the local smaller rescues? Maybe they could help.

Yes, she's contacted the Cats Protection and they are putting a plea out.

blackcat · « **Reply #10 on:** February 02, 2008, 20:29:37 PM »

I think the sugar helps them digest it, but like i said, these days there are special formulas, so am surprised the vet did not recommend one.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #9 on:** February 02, 2008, 20:27:32 PM »

I've also got it Mags, if anyone contacts me off my contacts, I'll let you know

I now have a contact number which is going be quicker & easer if anyone can help

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #6 on:** February 02, 2008, 20:15:47 PM »

It's surprising what you learn but I always thought cow's milk was bad for them

blackcat · « **Reply #5 on:** February 02, 2008, 20:13:38 PM »

it's an old trick, but I would have thought only in the short term until they got proper kitten formula... I mean you can get it from the vets nowadays, but way back when the cowsmilk/sugar was often your only option...

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #4 on:** February 02, 2008, 20:11:31 PM »

Just received this back from the lady who posted. I've never heard of feeding them cow's milk and sugar

Hi thanks for your response, she had 4 kittens and 3 died, mum seemed
very dosy and still very fat so we took her to the PDSA. According to
the vet after examination she still had kittens inside her but she
believed them to be stuck so the vet decided to operate. 2 hours later
we got a phone call that the cat was still on the operating table and
that they had found more kittens but they were all dead, that her
kidneys had virtually packed in and that she had a serious infection.
According to the vet we could have got her back but she would have had
no milk and would have been terminally ill. We were told by the vet at
the PDSA to feed the kitten cows milk and sugar. The kitten is
thriving but we feel a surrogate mother gives her a better chance at
life.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #3 on:** February 02, 2008, 19:55:48 PM »

I've sent a plea out and emailed her some advice.
