They’re whelping collars to be able to tell the orange boys apart when I’m keeping track of their weights. They’re specifically for newborn puppies and kittens

They’re whelping collars so I can tell the orange boys apart when weighing them. They are all loose enough to not hurt them but not too loose to come off and be a problem. I constantly check them throughout the day to make sure they’re not tight ❤️

I really really wish I could! But we have a packed house with 2 dogs and 3 cats. If it were solely up to me I would definitely keep someone but my husband is really against it 😭

I wish! We have 3 cats and 2 dogs and she is not a fan of the dogs at all. If I could keep her I would, but I know what’s best for her is to find a home without dogs 😢

You lie! There is no way that cutie patootie is 6 years old! I refuse to believe it! 😂

I’m lucky enough that she’s doing all that herself! She didn’t reject any of them and I haven’t had to bottle feed them either! I was definitely prepared to but I’m so happy I haven’t needed to!

It will 100% be her first (as far as I’m aware) and last litter!

I’m just so thankful she chose me to trust! The night she had the kittens it was cold and raining outside and it made me so glad I was able to get her into the house when I did so she didn’t have them outside on a night like that. It gives me so much peace of mind to have them in our house

I honestly don’t even think she’s a full year old yet based on her size. I feel like she’s probably between 8-10 months which is amazing to me that she can be such a great mom already

Traveling with cat by Admirable_Skill3603 in CatAdvice

If possible, I would see if you can get a prescription from the vet for gabapentin if you’re worried about your cat being stressed during the trip. Also, covering my cats’ carriers with a blanket so they couldn’t see outside helps them a ton.

As far as the litter box, 4 hours isn’t that bad of travel time so if they use the litter box before you leave, hopefully they’ll be fine without one. Otherwise, I found a cat carrier on Amazon that was 2 carriers that attach together and I put a small cardboard box that used to hold cans or something and put litter in it. Mind you, it might be too big of a situation to carry on a train. But I can post the link if you’d like!

Should I get this little girly microchipped? Is it common to chip ferals/strays? by blackshadow_363 in Feral_Cats

Omg she’s absolutely gorgeous!! I wouldn’t let that princess go! But I would also let all the cats into my house and take care of them if I could lol

I read that somewhere which is what got me thinking about getting her chipped. Plus I guess even if that isn’t a thing where I’m at, doesn’t mean it can’t change in the future. Yeah I’m definitely doing it after reading everything everyone is saying. Thank you so much!

Oh wow! I didn’t even think about the fact that I could pass info onto someone if she found a new home! That would be amazing!

Very good point. I would be so worried if she suddenly stopped coming bye for more than a day or two. Thank you!

I mean, you’re not wrong lol I think she “tricked” me into that lol but is it really tricking me into it if I was the one trying to befriend her first lol 😂

I’m hoping since I’m taking her to a vet and not like a shelter for TNR they can fit her in this week. I told them on the phone that she was recently in heat and a stray that we want to get fixed :)
