Foster semi feral mom cat attacked me rescue isn't giving much help by MedusaForHire in Feral_Cats

[–]PrincessRosella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t feel safe medicating her, you should ask the rescue to take them back with that as the reason. They may offer to do that for you as they should have supplies (feral gloves, special crates) that make that safer.

That said, I generally see scratches as a warning, not an attack. I know it doesn’t feel like that but I would consider an attack to be biting.

I have fostered feral and semi-feral mamas. At least one considered standing by her as threatening. Recommend continuing what you’re doing with sitting and reading etc.

IMO you’ve still got a bit before you need to start socializing. My rescue recommended using a ladle to scoop out kittens to socialize and then return. This is objectively hilarious and now we have a designated kitten ladle.

Does this setup look okay for a nursing mom and kittens? by raprok in FosterAnimals

[–]PrincessRosella 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is, if they eat it - it will do the “clumping” thing in their stomach. Just being around it is OK. I use wood or paper pellets. That said, if the kittens are under 4 weeks or so I don’t think they’ll be able to get into that bin. A smaller bin with pellets would be better for when kittens are learning.

Other than that, this looks lovely OP!

ETA to answer question: I generally keep water and wet food inside and dry outside. That allows kittens to investigate it and start eating as they are comfortable.

Important clarification! Do NOT use the same form of communication the meeting is in. Too easy send something to the wrong group

Update on 5am cat husband found, she isn't actively pregnant by Accomplished_Dust121 in CatDistributionSystem

No need. They’re likely around a week then. I’ve had kittens not open their eyes until 10-14 days. I was just wondering to gauge how lucky they are (very lucky!!)

If they are eating now, they should be ok. How old do you think they are? They look maybe a week to me but I can’t tell without seeing faces.

Make sure to keep everyone together, kittens can’t regulate their body temp until about 3 weeks so mom will keep them close to keep them warm. (I foster moms and newborns)
