Oh Liz, God bless you and your OH.  Congrats on moving in together  :hug:

Nothing wrong with being fussy, my Bonnie eats Gourmet  ;) :rofl:

Mary

She is lovely :Luv2: :Luv2: Did they guess her age? I wonder if rubbing lil bit of olive oil or cod liver oil on her ear helps with dryness but not sure, is best to check with the vet.I think with some decent food and lots of TLC she will look great in no time. Bless you and your Oh for taking her in to your home :hug:

Oh Janey i remember dear Byron :Luv: :Luv: and Mark saying she looked like a well loved Teddy Bear :Luv2:

Janey they did blood tests but not thyroid as the other tests would have shown thyroid levels elevated or not?  I remember your lovely Byron, the vet nurse told me they'd done their best to find an owner but had no success and she'd been there over a week.

Gill, can you recommend any care I can give to her poor ears? They're like dry leather and I wondered if there was a safe cream I could apply.

Finally I left the room to her door open and she wobbled downstairs on her own! She has a belly full of turkey and some cat milk, she wants more food but don't want her to be sick.

Finally she's skinny now but I'm sure the vet said she'd put on 400g in the time she was there so even thinner!

Awww she's gorgeous  :Luv:

Probably a daft question but I presume the vets have done full blood panel including thyroid and checked her teeth? just thinking with her not eating and the baldness.

Also have they tried to find an owner i.e. contacted all the rescues/lost & found sites etc,  my Byron looked pretty much like that at her oldest and it would be awful if an owner was missing her and she was missing her home  :(

Ahh the poor thing. Well done for taking her on. Do you know her history? Or was she a stray?

How about applaws chicken, I think the kitten one is a complete food. My cats will only eat food that looks like meat and they love applaws.

Thanks all, she is lovely if a little smelly!

Mary we opened 3 different tins of Gourmet last night and not one was touched!  Just bought some expensive recovery food from my vets and that's not touched either haha

Aw, the poor little mite, I can see why you couldn't resist.   I'm sure Mae will get on wonderfully in your care.

Aw Liz, bless your heart.  What a state that little one is   in.  Thank goodness you were there at the right time.  You absolute Star.  I hope she soon begins to make ground and shows the beautiful cat she obviously once was.  :hug:

We're pretty set on calling her Mae, short for Gormet  as she's so fussy with her food :)

Awwwwwwww I am sure she will flourish in your care  :hug: :hug:

Interesting about her ears and that she also has white paws and wonder if she may be a blue pointed birman cross cos my Ducha had no fur on his ears.

I was speaking to a birman breeder and happened to mention this and she told me it was a trait of blue pointed birmans and even in the show ring it was acceptable.

Hope she picks up very fast and birmans are alao very fussy  :rofl:

The poor baby, she surely couldn't have survived for much longer out on her own  :( I bet the nurses were over the moon when you said you wanted her  :)

Hills A/D is a good food to help build her up, I suspect dreamies will help too! What's her name?  :Luv2:

Oh bless her cotton socks.

Bet she'd eat lamb mince but then we don't want to encourgae her fussy little habits do we?!

She will blossom after a little bit of TLC, is amazing how they flourish once they get their feet under the table.

Well done for taking the poor wee soul on.

My partner and I moved in together a week ago and between us that was 6 cats!Tizzie's 17 with kidney failure and was admitted for a few nights to the vets for treatment to an unknown infection. The vets let us see Tiz backstage and a little scrawny stray squeaked at us. The vets couldn't find owners so I picked her up last night

We hadn't seen anything other than her face at the vets and I almost cried when she came out of the carrier last night, she's incredibly thin and has no hair on her ears I suppose due to lack of nutrition.

We're trying to feed her up but she won't eat anything other than turkey breast, the nurse did warn us she was fussy for a stray, what an understatement!

I hope she does well we love her already
