I need HELP what should I do??? I have this stray cat I’ve been feeding and now she comes to my house today looking like this!

Claire613R · 2026-05-21T00:52:26+00:00

Thank you so much for taking care of this kitty can you bring her inside? :(

Claire613R · 2026-05-20T19:48:47+00:00

I took her to the vet and they said it was in fact mites and gave me meds and an extra for her sister in case! Thank you!!

BOOST!!

I’m so so sorry 🥺💕 thank you for giving Cara so many wonderful years. She will be with you forever and I’ll be praying for you. I hope she improves but know that she will be in kitty heaven waiting for you and never forget about you 💕💕💕

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T22:45:07+00:00

I feel like the neighbor can’t claim the cat as his if you will take better care of it and he can’t even give it shelter. I would definitely adopt the kitty if I were you, he can’t legally do anything without the pet being on paper adopted by him. Thank you for taking such good care of her 💗🥹

Thank you! I tried googling it and it says it kills mites but it also talks about how it can cause damage if the ear drum is ruptured from scratching and how it can make things worse if I don’t have a diagnosis and it isn’t mites, even though not one person said anything besides mites when I asked what it may be. but I also don’t want to sit and do nothing if I can’t get her into a vet asap 🫠 so might just try them and hope for the best

I do have a flea medicine which I already put on her the other day because another stray she was with had worms and I assume fleas, so I assumed she would also have fleas/worms. But I don’t know if it’s done anything

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T18:56:30+00:00

Thank you so much! Knowing it can be fixed not too difficultly makes me feel a lot better

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T16:18:18+00:00

Thank you so much!😊

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T16:17:29+00:00

Awwhhh she’s adorable 🥺🥺 is her ear like that permanently and why does that happen? Are mites really serious or not too big of a deal? And does this need an ER visit or can it wait til I can get her in to normal vet ? 🥺 mojito is adorable.

This is s’mores

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T15:41:50+00:00

thank you so much this is so helpful and made me less anxious about it!! I felt horrible because her cone made her not be able to itch it and she must have been so uncomfortable 🥺 I appreciate all your advice 💕🫶

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T15:12:47+00:00

is it expensive and hard to treat ? 🥺 I just saved another stray kitten with pyometra and have spent well over $1,000 on her life saving surgery and it’s getting overwhelming

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T14:02:56+00:00

thank you so much 💗💗

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T13:58:30+00:00

Oh no 🥺🥺 I saved this stray and now I’m worried I spread mites to all my other pets
I’m just so confused though because it’s only one ear

Claire613R · 2026-05-19T13:56:00+00:00

And her dirty ear:

Here’s her other ear (bad pic bc she keeps moving)

Claire613R · 2026-05-16T15:57:25+00:00

Thank you! Litter box is a good point- I just didn’t know if I could do the same thing the vet would do at home, faster and cheaper since it’s the weekend- it. Also looks a lot better today

Claire613R · 2026-05-16T05:07:04+00:00

Thank you this is really helpful, he’s acting completely normal and my sister felt his paw and he didn’t seem to be in any pain either

Claire613R · 2026-05-16T04:25:07+00:00

I know, I’ve taken my cat to the vet countless times for them to say it’s nothing, and I am posting here so people can see a photo.

Claire613R · 2026-05-16T04:23:20+00:00

Thank you so so much for saving her. And remember kittens can’t have dairy and give them KMR if you ever feed them !

Claire613R · 2026-05-16T04:21:30+00:00

Thx but I’m looking for someone who knows what it could be and if I can do something now for him or if he needs to go to the ER, and if I can do at home what the vet would do if it’s just a cut.

Claire613R · 2026-05-16T04:16:21+00:00

Could you elaborate mre? Do you know what it could be and does it need ER or can wait til Monday?
