AAAARRRGGG!!! People make me SICK!!!!

She's GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

Hope she can get into the vet soon, but don't worry, coccidia is not going to run rampant through your house. Just keep her separated and don't let the others near her litter (including the scooper).

And if she hasn't eaten on a regular basis she won't poop on a regular basis (if you know what I mean). So just monitor her until she can see a vet.

And thank you for not turning your back. Good luck finding a rescue to take her.

God bless you.

Thank you so much for taking the kitty in.

What a cutie and thanks so much for taking him/her in. Boy can we relate to your problem of finding homes. We do have better luck with the kittens vs. the adults.

You are wise to seclude him and be sure to wash everything when you leave the area, including you clothes. This will help prevent any spread of anything.

Lorraine have you thought about asking the neighbors if they would be interested in helping TNR the cats in the neighborhood? This would sure help cut down on the population!

Good luck with this little one.

I am so happy for this little one! Bless you for taking on another one at this stage.

Humph to hubby! At least he didn't say NO, once the kitty was in.

If it is worms, then here is tip (though you probably know this, having had more cats then I have had). When we found Dazzle, and took him in to the vet, he had worms and got the dewormer. Dad held the little boy on his lap on the way home and . . . the dewormer did its job and quite well I may add. Um, those trousers just went in the trash, Dad said it wasn't worth the bother. Since then (3 years? maybe 4?) Dad refuses to hold anyone coming home from the vet, ha ha.

Love that long gray hair. Hoping for the best at the vets.

My dog casey had cocciada when I rescued her from the shelter..she had been there for 10 days so very likely could have gotten it there. She showed no signs at all so maybe it was early on but the antibiotic they gave her made her very ill, I stopped giving it after 5 days and had her stool rechecked and it was gone.

At the time my kitty never got it...of course they didn't use the same litter areas. I don't think cocciada is that big of a deal...I worry about ring worm, now that is a pain!

Lorraine,
I am so glad you rescued this adorable little baby! He/she is beautiful!! How could anyone dump a sweet one like this? I just don't understand. Thank you so much for helping this little angel. I have always wanted a gray kitten but unfotuantely I have quite enough already.

Send him on over to me. He is just adorable how could someone dump him!!!

**Lizzie** · 11-27-2006, 09:31 PM

I'm so glad that you went back out to look for him and he came running to you. He knew he needed rescuing, and looks very warm, safe and comfortable in his foster home. I don't want to think about the guy with the plastic bag, it curdles my stomach. Please tell your husband that we all admire him for being willing to adapt. It's good that you have other rescue-oriented people around you, that must be very heartening.

**kt_luvs_kitties** · 11-27-2006, 11:30 PM

You did the right thing. Thank God for you and your hubby. (Even if he complains) lol
That kitty is beautiful. Prayers coming that all is healthy. Please keep us updated.

**rg_girlca** · 11-27-2006, 11:42 PM

Thank you all for your nice comments.

He is resting comfortably and has done little poops here and there. I just wish it was in the litter box mind you. At least I know that he isn't completely blocked from the swelling. He did finally make a nice big pee in the box though.

Lisa, I did mention to the guy who took in the 4 kittens about us all getting together and trapping the cats to get them fixed, but unfortunately, I haven't seen him lately and heard that he had a heart attack and stays in his house most of the time now. But that is a good idea and I will look into it.

Yeah, hubby wasn't too happy about bringing him in, but when he goes into the bathroom all I hear is, "Hi there little kitty, what's ya doing" in his sweet voice that he uses. I've been through it before with Poppy & Willy.

Let's just say that he is definitely a keeper. The hubby, not the kitten.

Buttercup, Ontario isn't that far away from me you know.

Oh Lorraine, I'm so glad you went back for this beautiful baby! He /she looks so happy to be inside and loved and fed GOOD food!!! Bless you for having the heart to tackle another baby in need!

Hugs,
Kim

Lorraine, I'm so glad that you went back and found this little kitten again and were able to take him/her in.

The kitten is adorable and I hope that it's in good health and doesn't have anything serious. Please continue to keep us updated about him/her.

**CultureJunky** · 11-28-2006, 05:24 AM

Lorraine, I am once again so inspired by the people on Pet Talk, people like you who have a heart to share with cats in need. This little one was in such a way how could you possibly have left it behind.
I will pray that you will find a home for this one, and sweetpea and pea pod.
Can you advertise in your local newspaper or in say the local shops for homes for them? But make it clear that you will have to visit the house of the new prospective owner to ensure that it's a suitable environment, and also check out the people and how they live secretly obviously.
Just and idea.

**catfamily** · 11-28-2006, 05:26 AM

Oh I'm just reading this and so happy that you saved this beautiful little boy or girl.Make sure when they do a poopy test that they check for Giardia too.My Rufus and Skye had it and passed it to everyone in the house.It was tough to get rid of.(because I had to treat all my cats).I knew to deworm right away and to check for coccidia but did not know they had giardia which is very contagious too like all the other poopy things.So you might want to ask the vet about that as well.
Fish-zole or fish-cilon at revivalhealth.com gets rid of giardia.It's the same as metronidizole that the vets give you and charge you much more.It helps diarea and bloody stools also.
Sorry for the mispelling.
Your a very special lady

It's a good thing this adorable furbaby is in Montreal and I'm in Chicago because she (he?) would never leave my house. What a precious kitty and what a wonderful story. How is kitty doing today (Tuesday)?

When I brought Cassie home one of the other shelter cats (HH is no-cage as well as no-kill) had giardiasis. they sent us home with metronidazole, but her stool studies came back negative, so I ended up not having to pill her after all.
