EVERY Cat Deserves a Home: Helping Shelter Kitties
There was a time I was too scared to walk back and see the cats at shelter where I have fostered for more than 13 years. I'd check in at the clinic, pick up my newest foster kitties, and skedaddle home. I just didn't think I could handle seeing all those sad faces starting out at me from behind bars. Even the thought of it could bring tears to my eyes.
I'm not that way anymore.
Now I can't wait to go see the cats in the adoption area at my shelter. I want to see who got adopted, who is new, who finally stopped hissing and is now comfortable enough to be petted. I love chatting with the staff and volunteers and hear about which are their favorites. And the best part is seeing someone leave with their new cat or kitten. You hear "Cat in Condo 5 going home!" come over one of the staffer's radios, meaning it's time to go get the cat in Condo 5 out of his or her cage and into a carrier, on the way to (hopefully) a forever home.
It's been a little, while, but there's a lot going on here at Kitten School that I'm very excited about. Fostering cats and kittens at home will always be my favorite thing, but I have decided to expand my reach in other ways to help other kitties waiting for a forever home.
You probably have a rescue or shelter near you, and if so, I encourage you to visit it. Play with the cats, talk to the volunteers, and see if there's a way that you can be involved. Every moment spent supporting, comforting, and socializing shelter cats goes a long way to helping them get adopted.
It's great to be back!

Kitten Ringworm Emergency! 🚨 Fast & Safe Home Treatment
zhlédnutí 21KPřed rokem
This has been a year of many things, but for me here at Kitten School I'd say 2022 has been the Year of Ringworm! I have taken in multiple fosters infected with this pervasive fungal infection that causes hair loss and itchy skin lesions. Treating cats with ringworm is pretty low tech and there are lots of safe and easy ways to get rid of it at home without having to see a vet, but having the r...

Runny POOP? Getting to the Bottom of Kitten Diarrhea

Sometimes this issue clears up on its own, sometimes medication is required. The bottom line is that kitten...

I took them in to care for them after day two because they were starving I bought domesticated kitten milk and started feeding them right away I noticed they all have ringworm and found your channel on how to treat it.

    My 9 year old is horrible with baths. Sometimes, he doesn't yell and scream so much. I rescued him from the shelter when he was 7 years old, and he has had at least 6 or 7 baths now in the entire time I've had him so he should be getting used to being in water by now. 😂 I have to give him baths because he has dry skin, and he flakes a lot regardless of drinking water and eating a good kibble. I have allergies to cats. My pulmonologist told me that I should get rid of him to save my asthma, but I can't do that because we are super glue bonded to each other. So giving him a bath here and there is the better option.

    We just caught a kitten a couple days ago... They're rather spicy.. I've kept them in the restroom for about 24 hrs now, with food, water, plenty of comfy places to sleep, a toy, and a temp litter box. I'm worried, because the kitty will freezes and shakes when I come into the room. I spend several hours a day in there already, as it's where my laptop is, so... I'll be spending several hours a day with it in there. (I say "it", because I've no idea what their gender is) I hope these methods work for the new kitty we've acquired. The reason we caught the kitty, is because during the day here, it's 110°+F, and it's just not safe for the kitty to be outside...

  • @hugefootballfan2914

    I really want to get a 2nd cat but my current cat kind of has a biting and scratching problem with me and no matter how many videos I watch and tactics I try he still does it sometimes. Im afraid he’d do that with a little cat too so I want to be very cautious cause he is only a year old so maybe he sees it as playing and will mellow out when he gets older but he is my first cat so maybe I am not handling him correctly but I want to give him a little sibling but im nervous he would attack a little sibling.

    I have a female cat like this. She has a lot of fear and I suspect she may have been abused before we got her. I've been very very patient and kind and loving toward her. She has been coming out of summer for fears but she's very timid. I spend time with her quite often and she's responding to me better now, even purring. She's beginning to enjoy it also. In the beginning she wouldn't even eat food if I was in the room. Now she will. Sometimes I wonder how long it would take to help her get rid of all that fear. Yet I'm encouraged because she is making progress in the presence of me showing a lot of loving-kindness toward her.

My male cat doesn’t hiss or growl, but he has been biting the kitten’s neck, and I can’t tell if it’s play, aggression, or aggressive play that my adult cat can’t control. The little kitten hisses and tries to fight back, but I can’t figure out what my male cat is trying to do. Do you have any advice? When should I draw the line? I’m worried that my male cat might accidentally or intentionally hurt the kitten by overusing his strength.

    I’m using a similar technique to try to socialize an older kitten who was completely feral. I just got him today, right after his neuter, but he’s been in foster a couple of months. If I hadn’t taken him he would have ended up someone’s barn cat, which is better than what could have happened to him, but he’s just too beautiful to spend the rest of his life in a barn! He came a long way in foster and does well with other cats and even dogs. He’s terrified of people, though, as he was completely feral and being chased by kids throwing rocks when he was rescued. Who could blame him for not trusting people? He does love treats and catnip so I plan to use those to my advantage in the coming days. Right now he’s in a very large kennel with a blanket over it. It’s in a central location. He has a soft bed, food and water, and a small litter box. I sprinkled the catnip on his bed, in hopes that it might help to calm him, and left him a couple of catnip treats there as well. My other animals have come in one by one to sniff around his kennel. They can’t see each other. Going to give him a day or so before I start lifting the blanket for short periods. He’s been through a lot in his short life. I don’t want to overwhelm him. Also, the others will need time to get accustomed to him. I’m in it for the long haul! His name is Blaze. He’s a gorgeous flame point Siamese with beautiful blue eyes. Please say a prayer for us that he’s able to overcome his past!🙏🏻

    Try shaving some cheddar cheese then molding a very small bit of it around the pill(s). Our cats love the cheese it is a BIG treat for any of them. We shave the cheese because it makes it easier for your fingers to warm, soften and mold around the pill; otherwise it is crumbly and takes longer to mold. Our very picky cat (whom also gets 2x daily thyroid pill) even will eat it when we pick up the pill crumbs from the cutting board with the cheese.
