I was on my way to the Young Williams Animal Center and passed a vets office. I remembered a former patient of mine works there. I stopped, and spoke to her. She came outside to take a look, and took one inside with her. He had a protrusion under his tail. The doctor said it looked like a hernia, but he also had no back toes. Anyway, they kept them both! They were going to clean them up, check them for everything, and find them homes! I feel so much better about leaving them there, as I know they will be cared for. I would've loved to have kept them, but I still haven't seen Squeak. She is MAD!!! Thanks so much guys for all your help. PTers are truly a special breed of people!

Huge sigh of relief over here. Great news that the vet's office will give them medical attention and find furever homes for the babies. You did a good and wonderful thing, bless you!

A WHEW from this part of NJ!! You did a good thing!! Squeak's nose may be out a joint for a bit, but a few treats and attention should do the trick!!! HOORAY FOR PAWLA!!!!

Goodness... no toes?! Did he think it was a birth defect of some kind?!

Poor Squeak, but she will get over it. She just needs to understand that you were trying to help out another kitty. She should be proud of you, not mad!

What a relief!

THANKS TO EVERYONE! The vet wasn't sure at this point. He was much smaller than the other one, so I don't know if maybe he was a runt. His little bottom didn't look normal. It almost looked as if it was closed up. I'm sure this was not the case, or he wouldn't have made it to the age he is. I am going to call tomorrow to check on them. They were going to get a bath tonight, as they had poop all over them. Tomorrow the tests start, and deworming. They ate a whole can of Fancy Feast! That was all I had, and I knew they were starving! Squeak is fine now, but she DID NOT like those little screamin' critters in her house! I definitely feel better about leaving them at a vet's office, rather than the Animal Center. At least I know they will be well cared for! I just don't know how someone can be so heartless!

I'm so glad that the vets office can help them.

Please update us about them when you can.

I will keep everyone posted! I tried to take pictures, but they were moving so much that the pics were blurry. I needed someone to hold them so I could get a photo. They were soooo cute! I would've loved to have kept the white one with black spots! It's funny how you are with them a short time, but their personalities give them names. Tiny and Kitty Cow. Cow for short.

I just got off the phone with the vet that took the kittens. They are both doing well. They have been cleaned, and wormed. She said they were eating like crazy! No tests for other things yet, but that will come soon. They are to keep me posted, so I will do the same with you guys! Thanks again!

**jazzcat** · 07-06-2007, 02:12 PM

That is a great update! I'm glad they are doing well.

The vets office called this morning. The kittens are doing remarkably well. They tested negative for feline leukemia, and aids. They did have ear mites, and worms, both of which have been taken care of. She said that their age is about four weeks. They will be ready for adoption in two weeks. I will keep you all updated as I hear.
