Charlie’s Angel Litter
- The kittens, who were originally brought in to LAPS on November 10, are doing great in foster care. A number of photos of them were uploaded to the LAPS Foster Kittens Facebook page today.
TinyKittens HQ:
Cassidy
- A special garment has arrived for Cassidy and Shelly spent several hours today putting it together and configuring it. (Not sure what this garment is — I presume it’s to try to get his knees flexing properly, but I’m a bit behind on Cassidy-related news as I’ve been watching the new kittens.)
People for Happier Cats/TNR site:
Feral Colony
- Per Shelly’s evening visit with Jingle and Holly, the TNR team is going to be trying to trap and bring in more kittens tomorrow — since the room is already contaminated, they might as well take advantage of it.
Jingle Bell and Holly Belle
Note: Shelly posted the full DVR of the first 39 hours of the kittens’ experience at TKHQ (up to about 8AM PST) to their Livestream page at http://livestream.com/tinykittens/bells/videos/105854618.
- Morning notes:
- There was some litter box usage by Holly at around 2AM — she also seemed to eat a little of the litter and then lie in the litter box for awhile.
- By around 4AM, they were both playing out in the open. Jingle is all over the place, distracted by anything and everything, but he played a lot with the pink soccer ball. Holly (possibly because she still doesn’t feel 100% and her paws probably hurt a bit) mostly played with the Petstages ring toy. Ever since then, they’ve been in and out of the nest a fair bit, unlike the yesterday or the first day when they were mostly sleeping in the nest. It’s great to see them playing — with toys and with each other.
- Morning visit at around 10:45 PST:
- Shelly cleaned out the litter box, found pee and well-formed, dead-worm-riddled poop.
- She gave Holly her eye drops and soaked and cleaned both of Holly’s paws. (She’ll be soaking the right one in particular twice a day.)
- Holly’s temperature is 39.6 C, which is what it was when she came in. A bit on the high side.
- Shelly’s pretty confident that Jingle has ringworm, though PCR test results still won’t be in for a day or two. If he does, it could take up to two months for it to clear.
- Shelly is rounding up snugglers to help socialize the kittens.
- Holly is surprisingly good about all the medical poking and probing, though she’s still quite fearful about strange noises and the human coming into the room.
- Evening visit at around 18:45 PST:
- Shelly blacklit Jingle’s “glowy bits” again.
- She soaked Holly’s paws and cleaned up the drainage. The right paw is draining well.
- Both of them are still sneezing, but their eyes are looking much better. (Shelly gave them more eye drops.)
- Holly’s temperature had dropped down to a more normal 38.9 C.
- Holly is still quite bloated, but that will probably take a couple of rounds of deworming to fully clear up. (She has a really heavy parasite load.)
- She cleaned out Holly’s ears some more. They’re less itchy. Holly is really so very good about having all of this done to her.
- Shelly gave both kittens a lengthy cuddle massage, which both seemed to enjoy a great deal.
- Master snuggler Suzanne will be stopping by tomorrow for cuddles and socialization.
Random TK/LAPS Alumni Updates:
- Treasure and Picasso CallaLily are now known as Precious and Gimli and are doing great in their new home.
