Abandoned kitten turns into our gorgeous cat!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

We found a kitten abandoned by its mother in a woodshop. This is the story of how we nurtured this sad and helpless fellow to become the beloved and beautiful adult cat he is today!
We found that Royal Canin has a great range of cat food products suitable from birth right through to adulthood.
We fed the baby kitten every two hours at first, and helped him pee after each meal by massaging his genitals very gently. We kept him warm at night with a hot water bottle and a microwaved bean heat bag.
We gave him a lot of attention. He shared a room with our two rabbits for the first two months and probably thought he was one of them. He learned to hop and kept trying to eat rabbit food!
We were warned that he may not learn to groom himself and could grow up aggressive, but either he learned from his male foster mother dog or he instinctively got the hang of grooming. He has a wonderful temperament.
He was quickly litter trained (3 weeks old) but over Christmas (age five months by then) he decided his litter would be under the Christmas tree and gave us regular odoriferous presents. After this strange but short period, he became a fully trained outdoor cat and doesn't need an indoor cat litter box at all.

    He is gorgeous!!! This video brought back memories!! On 8/3/1998, my neighbors cat, Chynna, came over to get food from me at 1 PM. I noticed she was getting bigger with her pregnancy. I left at 2 PM for my job. When I got home at 10:30 PM, I saw Chynna and she had clearly given birth!! So the babies were born on my birthday!! I had stopped on the way to work for Kitten Chow for Chynna. She needed extra calories! On 8/6/1998, I got a call from another neighbor. Please come over! He had come our of his house and ran down the steps, not seeing 2 tiny kittens at the bottom! He missed them, thank goodness! As soon as I saw them, they were definitely Chynna's babies! Chynna was a beautiful calico and the male cat that had been hanging around 60-65 days prior was a black & white tuxedo cat. I told him the came out of the crawl space as we saw tiny paw prints. We put them in a box on a bench. Chynna would find them & take it from there. The babies were screaming. I asked him to keep an eye out and was off to go to Wal-Mart for plants. As I went to the exit, I looked left for cars and saw a cat, deceased by the other entrance. I went to see if it was Chynna, it was. 😿 Instead of plants, I went to Wal-Mart for Kitten Replacement Powder, bottles, baby shampoo (for fleas!!), & goats milk. No cows milk for any baby kittens or puppies, they get sick! I returned and could hear the babies screaming loudly, Chynna's body had obviously been there for 6-8 hours, so her babies were starving. I mixed up bottles and the tuxedo one was a lot bigger! I named her Samantha! The tiny calico, Isabella! After the bottle, I washed both so they had no more fleas. I got a different box and some towels and put both babies in it. I took them to the house and put the box in the spare bathroom. Danny & I then went to bury poor Chynna. I promised her that I would do everything I could to help her tiny babies! I remember the feedings every 2 hours too! They have tiny tummy's and cannot eat a big bottle. I took them into work and everyone took turns feeding during their breaks. I fixed bottles up. I took both to the vet the next day as Isabella was so small that I was concerned. The vet knew I had a pure bred seal point Ragdoll cat named Benji!! He told me to keep Benji away from the newborns or he would kill them. Except for feeding time, the babies would curl up together & sleep. I had fed them and took care of their potty needs, then left them in their box in the bathroom. I got a delivery from UPS & had gone outside to get it. When I came inside, I saw the bathroom door was open!! Benji!?!? I heard baby kitten noises...then a meow from Benji!! I went into the bathroom. Benji was curled up in the box with both babies attempting to nurse off him! From that day on, when I fed them here, Benji observed. Samantha ate like it was her last meal. She was so much larger than Isabella. So Samantha ate first. Benji would then take Samantha and took care of her potty needs. Isabella took longer to feed as she tended to fall asleep after a few sips. The both grew but Isabella was always smaller. By 8 weeks, both had hit their milestones and got their first shots! Isabella was also on vitamins from the vet since their first visit. It was liquid and smelled horrible to me, but Isabella loved it! They were spayed and loved playing with all the cats & the dog! On 12/30/2010, Samantha was playing with one of their Christmas toys. She threw one in the air & leaped to catch it. She landed in a thud on the floor. The vet said she had had a heart attack and she never regained consciousness. Isabella lived until 9/3/2019--21 years & 1 month!! Up until 9/1, she was doing fine. Age related issues of course, her food & water dishes had to be on the floor, as she couldn't jump. The only time she was not purring was when she was asleep! By this age she would come over to the sofa and meow to pick her up! Her favorite play was next to me, no matter if we were watching TV or sleeping! On 9/2/2019, she was no longer purring a lot. She would grunt and sometimes cry out in pain. Then she refused all food and drank very little water. I knew it was time! On the morning of 9/3/2019, Isabella crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge! She was in my arms and licked the tears from my face. They gave her the heavy tranquilizer shot and she snuggled in my arms! I told her to go look for Samantha & Benji at the Rainbow Bridge. I will see them again some day. In the meantime, my parents & grandmom take care of ALL of our babies at the bridge.

My boss would scream at me and from watching other people who were driver's and he did not tolerate absences. So I knew he would eventually fire me. So I left on medical leave. My last dog was actually my parents but when they passed, Jessie came to live with us. Thank goodness Jessie adored cats! I had been diagnosed in 2005 with Graves Disease, bad thyroid. Take a pill each day. It wasn't until I saw a doctor who did blood work and a MRI with contrast (they go through a vein in the arm with glo in the dark contrast) and they found Multiple Sclerosis in the brain. Then they found Rheumatoid Arthritis. Then Lupus. Last time was Hypokalemia. I said enough of these nasty autoimmune diseases! At times I have problems with one or two or all of them.

    So true. I can't believe that he was left for three days, within earshot of people who could hear him crying, and who did nothing about this tiny speck of life. Thankfully, he found the best family ever and survived.

    It is so wonderful to raise a cat. My ex, still a good friend, suggested I get a cat because I complained she and my daughter were not spending enough time with me, and I was lonely. Since I wanted female company and had just run into someone after I returned from a trip to Europe in '17 who wanted me to babysit his female kitten, I asked if I could adopt her. I knew she had left her Mama too young, and she imprinted on me immediately. My friend did not at first want me to keep her---he said she was sick and probably would not survive and he did not want me to get attached to her. But I have saved a poodle who was severely ill with dysentery, and other small animals, by just applying love and symptomatic treatment and patience, since I was a boy, and I have now more than six decades of experience with pets and making a forever home for them. My cat, Rosie, now about six years old, has flourished, and she is also a licensed therapy pet, I found special traits in her, she is able to detect if I need to rest, or eat, and she even makes me watch movies or listen to music by her behaviors. She is always just by my side, and it is uncanny, when I lie down and pull the blanket ever so quietly over me to nap or sleep at night, out of visual range from the other room she comes running to duck under the covers, cuddling in my arms, a "cat croissant", sometimes using my face as a pillow or simply resting her head on my arm or pillow, sleeping in a human pose, her motor so loud it takes me a few minutes to fall asleep. My Ex, daughter and I make our friends roll their eyes when we talk about our love of adopting cats. Cats may only meow, but they know some words -- my cat complies when I say "gimme five" or "roll over" or "Do you want to eat or need water?"
