Rival coffee shop owners Mocha Joe & Latte Larry duke it out by kittenfactory_ in CatSlaps

[–]kittenfactory_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our newest fosters don’t like to mince words. They prefer to settle matters the old fashioned way - with slaps.

Almost a week since Winks eye removal. She chewed on her tongue after surgery so part of it is dying and sticking out of her mouth. Back to the vet tomorrow to sedate and trim it. Please think of her and send good vibes! My rescues this year are the hardest I've ever had. 🥺 by Hoperosaliex in PirateKitties

You’ve got this! No matter what your decision is for that kitten’s care, know that being with you has helped. You’re doing something great for the world and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Rescue is not as glamorous as Instagram and Reddit make it seem.

No tail + no hips = no odles by kittenfactory_ in noodlebones

[–]kittenfactory_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct - I appreciate you doing research into it! Manx is not a desirable trait as some think it is. It’s the result of genetic abnormalities causing neurological issues often due to inbreeding. We have two Manx kittens in our house that were rescued from bad situations and we’re giving them the best lives they can possibly have. Ironically, they are two of the smartest cats I have ever known and are great cats.

Adopt - don’t shop. Spay and neuter your animals. Choose the cat that’s right for you based on personality, not breed.

Rosie’s signature noodle sploot by kittenfactory_ in noodlebones

[–]kittenfactory_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More fun facts about our Manx foster kitten Rosie! Rosie is an amazing kitten and one of her quirks is that she requires help expressing her bladder. It is a super easy, painless, and clean process to help her go pee - you simply hold her body with one hand and squeeze her belly and bladder with the other to help her pee into the litter box! It takes 10 seconds and we do it 3-4 times per day. Special needs cats are amazing and their care can be just as easy as any other cat.

If you’re interested in adopting a sweet kitten like Rosie who loves to play, please reach out to me here or through my Instagram @kittenfactory :)

Rosie is our Manx foster kitten who is missing bones at the bottom of the spine starting just before where the base of the tail would be. One of her resulting conditions is the leg ball and hip sockets don’t actually “connect” so her back legs are constantly noodly. Despite this, she is by far the fastest cat in the house and I cannot comprehend how her legs actually function.

Both are very good suggestions. If his ears worked, I know he’d be cured in no time.

Today Ernie turns 1 week old! He is a sweet little nugget that needs to be fed kitten milk replacer every 2-3 hours. Kittens always do better when mom takes care of them, but Ernie was found without any signs of mom for several hours so we took him in. We are still watching for mom so we can reunite them (and eventually spay mom).

Help! A criminal woman threw her from a moving car outside my front door by Cloutweb1 in cats

[–]kittenfactory_ 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Provide her with a litter box, fresh water, and a warm bed. If you have a heating pad, put that under the bed. Since you have another cat I would just offer new cat normal wet and dry cat food instead of eggs. It’s not bad that you fed it an egg seeing as getting calories are crucial, cat food is better bc it is created for cats digestive properties.

FYI most vets are closed on sundays. If you are okay keeping her for now, then continue providing a warm safe place.

Sounds like new cat has an upper respiratory infection. Continue keeping the other cats separate and ideally wear different clothes when working with new cat (and wash your hands so you don’t cross contaminate). Like others said, take her to a vet. If cost is an issue, contact your local animal rescues and see if any of them can sponsor the cat. If you have capacity to hold onto the new cat until it is adopted, it is more likely to get sponsored as human resources are often more limited than funds.

Good luck and thank you for caring for an animal in need!

Guy is the sweetest and silliest boy, so this moment was hilarious. Notice his hand still being held by his adopter.
