need advice about new rescue

[orangemm]

How wonderful of you to take in this poor girl. Is there any chance she could be pregnant? She must be very grateful to you for what you've done! At least she is safe from predators and abusive people.

Keep us updated on her progress...bless you for doing this!!

Thank you for saving the little girl! I do agree she should be separated until she is seen by a vet. Are you planning on keeping her? Can we see pictures?

Keep feeding her and giving her plenty of fresh water. That is probably what she needs right now more than anything. Later, when she is stronger, she may want to get out of that kennel but right now, she is probably SO glad to have a safe place to sleep, food and water. I would suggest having her tested and checked at the vets but wait until she is a lot stronget before giving her any shots in her weakened condition. I made the mistake of getting Samantha's right away when she was almost starved to death and eaten up with fleas and I thought those shots were going to kill her. Let her build up some strength first.

Thank you for your replies! I have been out with her several times today, and she seems to be doing better. I was thinking if a cat were SOO ill that she is literally skin and bones her movement, alertness, and interest would be indicators, right? I am hoping,hoping, hoping that she is just malnourished. I will definatley have the vet run any tests she can, thank you for advising to hold off on vaccines for now Well, I am on my way to my favorite pet supply store . . . Petsmart! I should really buy some stock in that company

I tried to attach pics a couple of times, but I am not sure about attaching/resizing. Also if any of you have suggestions for a name, I am trying to settle on one. I kinda like KiKi, my son suggested Lucky. Perhaps in another language. I guess once you can see her a name will be easier to suggest, huh?

I'm glad that you're able to care for her and I also think that keeping her separated from your own furkids is a good idea right now. Good luck at the vets tomorrow and please continue to keep us updated.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I'm sure that's what kitty wants to say to you. And bless you for taking her in. You definitely did the right thing separating her from your other furkids if for no other reason than the fleas. A good look see by your vet, a nice bath, and your TLC will go a long way. What a lucky girl to have found you. Please let us know how she's doing?

If she will eat it,I would give her a high quality kitten food,as she is going,to need the extra protein.
Ntro Max Canned Kitten would be,very good,or Royal Canin Dry Kitten Food,as that is usually on promotion.
Bless You,for helping that poor Cat,and we are praying for her.


You could always ask,your Vet,for samples!!
