We have babies!!! New baby pics #466

[lvpets2002]

I bottle raised a feral kitten once that the belly looked just like that.. The Vet said a piece of grass had gotten into thru the belly button/cord & caused a infection.. It sure looks just like what this kitten has.. Yes for sure take the baby to the Vets.. Sending Lots of Prayers for wittle Angel..

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes everyone. They worked again!!!

Angel is home and with her mommy now. She did have a abcess. I about fainted when the vet opened that thing. They gave her antibiotic to take twice a day.

They also said to bathe her as needed for the fleas using Dawn dish soap. They gave me some, so she had her first bath when we got home, a good toweling off, then a fluff dry with my hair dryer.

Angel sends a big to Auntie Jen who made me take a better look at that sweet tummy!


Almost forgot to tell you about Angel's mommy, Winnie's, big break through. She now lets me pick her up and cuddle her!!!!! Can't believe this is the same cat I had to almost wear armour around just a week ago!!!

Good news on baby Angel! She'll be a healthy kitty now thanks to PT and you!

Gee...if momcat is cuddling, then I guess SHE is next for a bath?

Great news all around!

(PS many many years ago I took a cat of mine in for a bump on his spine - it was an abcess. He was black, so it was hard to see. The vet just picked lightly at the scab, and then....let's just say I totally understand your almost fainting!)

Sending a little kiss for Angel. And a big for Winnie for being so brave and deciding humans aren't all bad.

I think Winnie is beginning to believe that humans aren't so bad after all. Angel knew that all along. Sending prayers that these to find a good home!

Angel will for sure be staying with me. Winnie may too. I'm not sure I can let her go now. We'll just have to see how it goes when I bring Angel inside.

I'm so glad you took Jenn's advice & checked out Angels tummy area.

This story just keeps getting better and better. Sounds like great news
for momma & baby girl, Angel. It's great that momma has calmed down
and lets you get closer.

Oh, God bless you... for looking after and caring for these precious little ones. They will both for sure have a wonderful home.

oh my i am overcome with emotion reading your thread that you may take Winnie as well, i hope you can, i know it is a big ask, but i am so glad she has won you around,she knows a good person when she sees one.

I know it is not definite yet, but i hope with all my heart you can take her in and she will fit in with your other cats,fingers and all paws crossed here for a happy outcome.

Yes i thought babies belly looked a bit red and swollen too, but then i thought hey what do i know about newborn kittens, so glad you took Angel and she is doing well.

May heaps of good karma come your way, for being such a kind caring person and looking after these two sweet kitties,BTW Angel is so pretty, as is her mother.

Where are they now, MoFF? Are they still in the shed? I bet baby Angel smells delicious now that she has had a bath. If Winnie does have fleas, can she receive flea medication, or will you have to wait till baby is weaned? How precious that she has let you cuddle her. They are both so cute, I hope they both get to stay. Huge HUGS to you for taking such good care of them!

[katladyd]

Oh, I hope it all goes well when you bring them indoors! I've got my fingers crossed and my lucky rabbit's foot out!

Angel's tummy looks a lot better today. She sure hates taking her med though. Her mom, doesn't like her taking it either. But we managed.

Oh, Angel weights a whopping 4 ounces! I was suprised she weighted anything at all. They put her on a big scale large enough to weigh a pony!

My plan is to Get Angel's shots and move her inside first. Then get Winnie spayed and see how it goes from there. When Grandma was spayed, she was so mad at me she left for almost a year. I can't bring Winnie right in after her spaying because I imagine she will be super cranky then. She will have a nice warm bed on the porch and plenty of food in the meantime.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I think Winnie may be trying to incourage Angel to start eating solid food. Yesterday morning there was a cricket in Angels box. It was dead and had one leg missing so I doubt it jumped in there by itself. This morning was a grasshopper in the same state.

Isn't it sort of early for the baby to start eating solid food? She will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. She still is wobbly when she walks.

I'll get some kitten wet food to have on hand tomorrow.



Oh, I found out last night that the owner of the house Winnie came from had been planning on "hauling her and Angel off". I'm so glad they are mine now and safe in my shed.

MoFF, you're the best!

I just got caught up on this thread. I'm so glad that you took Angel to the vet and that now her tummy is looking much better. She sure is a cutie pie. Winnie seems to be gaining your trust so hopefully she'll continue to be sweet with you and you'll also be able to adopt her. I'm so glad that you put them in your shed when you did so they didn't end up being hauled away. I hope that they both continue to thrive and do well.
