Aww! That's awesome.

So glad he's got a loving home to go to after he's a bit older.

I have to thank Maisey-Moo originally because she was the link between me and this lady.

Hopefully all remains well!

Not so good news today I'm afraid.

Been in constant contact with the brilliant lady (hand-rearer) since she took charge but she had to take him (who is actually a her! ) to the vet today because she hasn't been pooping or weeing in the past 3 days (pooping inparticular). Anyway at first the vet told her that if this occurs in kittens, they usually die from it, which really put the shock up her and me too. However after being given certain medication etc, it seems it isn't as bad as we first thought. The vet wants to see kitty again on Monday.

However we're keeping fingers crossed that between now and Monday, kitty can go to the toilet naturally!

I truly hope you have good news with the wee girl. Sad to hear of your latest news.

I know Fingers crossed all round.

Though it does give us comfort that she's fine in herself and besides the problem, she's fine, but of course tomorrow is a big day in terms of what happens.

I believe kitty is due at the vet today just to see how she's getting on but at present, she's going to the toilet () all by herself again!

We're not sure but we think she's going to be a long haired puss! I remember seeing one of the ferals and if it's the one I think it is, she had long hair (this particular feral being our grumpy's mum).

Doesn't time fly!
Great to hear she's doing well - did the other ferals get any help or neutering?

Such great news. So happy for the little one.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the OP and the help of Maisey Moo and the woman taking care of the kitten.

Oddly enough they've scarpered, my nan has seen one of them climbing over a fence so she assumes someone else is now feeding them. I still think there's more to come on that front though.

Indeed, such desperation that Sunday, will never forget it, I'd never been so thankful in all my life (to have someone experienced take her off our hands into a better place).

We're actually not too sure. At first we thought it was a boy but then found out it was a girl, so we're still debating
