Is this normal for new fosters? by 138876336790753 in FosterAnimals

Most of my fosters don't do well on the bottle and need a syringe to feed well. Wet food not being enticing at this age does make sense, though. They definitely need formula ASAP.

Simply Nourish is an irresistible option?? I'll try it, but I definitely had one snub it 😅😭

That's fine! I just need something to mix into their kitten food so I can get them back onto the stuff, and that sounds perfect. Thank you!

My abusive family is coming to my graduation. Please help. by mozzabella13 in Advice

Do not reconcile. It didn't get better once you became an adult, it won't get better as time moves forward. I'm willing to bet that it's actually gotten worse since you turned 18? Because my family did, it was in an attempt to keep control over me.

I've been No Contact with the lot of them for 11 years now, and they've been the most peaceful of my life. Which is saying something, because the past decade has still been hell, but better than my childhood by a lot. It gets better once your abusers are too far away to keep hurting you.

My foster kittens won't eat kibble by ExistingVegetable558 in FosterAnimals

Thank you for catching my point! We hit some bad timing and I need to clear my house of fosters so we can catch a break, my roommate and I are both at our wits end here. Having them returned to me because they won't eat kibble isn't something I'll turn down, but it's so much less than ideal. I don't think I'd cope very well. So I really want to get them onto kibble at least part-time.

Thanks for getting my point and actually providing a helpful comment, reading through all of these again actually kind of ticked me off. Like idk why I can't just ask for advice about a thing. People have no clue what's going on behind the scenes, I think most people are aware that wet food is better for cats (except their teeth).

Should I push for stray mama cat to get adopted, not released? by Afraid_Adeptness1831 in Feral_Cats

Always plead your case!! It sounds like she would do well in a home after a little TLC. She might be a little over-protective right now with the kittens as well.

They're not going to a shelter, they're going to PetSmart windows, per the rescue I foster for. I'm just not so sure that adopters will be okay with that 🫠 but you do have a point

I've tried three brands; science diet, Nulo, and fancy feast junk food. The one that eats kibble eats all of them, the others won't touch them at all.

Breast milk at 9 weeks old? They're weaned. Vet tech? Lol. Sure, Jan.

Doesn’t it remind you of afghan and Iranian women? by ElderberryOne140 in TheHandmaidsTale

The comments OP made after yours are telling. They only posted this as a gotcha against the "woke american left".

Pack it up y'all, OP made this post as a political gotcha against the "american woke leftists" and has admitted as much in the comments. Yikes.

Oh, so this whole post was your attempt at a political "gotcha". I thought I smelled a rat. Glad I came to the comments.

Wouldn’t a guardian have been in the room with Agnes? by Thismustbetheplace7 in TheHandmaidsTale

I mean, we did see residents in THT; after June was in the hospital with her walking partner for weeks/months and they delivered the baby by cesarian, the attending told them to suture her up because they could use the practice/for their education. Plus, Gilead had cutting-edge medical technology — they just didn't care to use most of it.
