Bec’s Foster Cats/Dogs and their Babies

Adult cats are also the best at giving hugs because there is so much more of them to hug. There’s nothing like an adult cat cuddle.

Salem (son) and Sabrina (mum) have been with me for a month ish now. Both are affectionate and sweet babies. Salem is always on the move and, as a result, so hard to get a photo of. He is friendly with other cats but is learning boundaries, specifically that some cats like their space. He likes to play with everyone and sometimes that's not always appreciated. Both are super fluffy and enjoy quality time with their caregivers. Both have been desexed, vaccinated and microchipped and will be on their way to Petbarn for adoption on Friday. I pray they find their loving forever homes quickly.

We are getting so big, cute and fluffy 😍

The milk bar is open, we are doing so well at 3 weeks and 1 day.

Not to mention that you get the love and joy that the animal provides without the huge cost and life long responsibility. Yes, it’s hard to give them back but it’s a mindset that changes the more you foster as you realise that by saying goodbye gives another animal the chance to live.

Eclipse, 13 th April

15/04/2024

Eclipse is standing and learning to walk. Her siblings are a little further along with this skill but being the runt of the litter is hard work. Please excuse the feet. She is three weeks in this video.

Little Eclipse 3 weeks and 1 day old. Super tiny and cute. Learning to groom herself 😍😍😍

15/04/2024

Eclipse is getting an exclusive feed. Being the runt of the litter her siblings have become accustomed to pushing her out the way and she is missing out. Letting her get in first helps make sure she is eating enough.

A Dumped Dog's Prayer !

Don't close the door!
Don’t push me away!
Why are you leaving?
Don't make me stay.

Slow down the car, I can't keep up.
This pavement is hot and my pads are cut.
I've got to quit running or my heart will pop.

Every muscle is aching. Why don't you stop?
I'm so hungry and thirsty. Darkness is near…

But I shouldn't leave, he will come for me here.
Several weeks have passed, I am dead on my feet.
They call me a nuisance because I eat off the streets.

Every car that passes, I chase it to see
If it's my master coming for me.

Though I approach those that come near
With trust in my eyes and no sign of fear.
With hate in their voices and a cold, heartless stare,
They threaten to kill me - they don't even care.

Batter my body with rocks that they throw, i will not leave, he will come, don’t you know?
Overtaken with weakness, my body is numb.

I'm sick and so lonely. Oh please, let him come!
I will go back where he first threw me out.

I'll wait for him there, he will come, no doubt.
My thoughts are fading. My chest feels like lead.
I'm sleepy, so sleepy - I can't lift my head.

Its so quiet, so peaceful -- all remains still.
There is my master at my home on the hill.

Yes, I can see him, he's calling my name.
His voice is so gentle, his hands are the same.
He decided he wants me. Things will be fine.

I really do love him, that master of mine.
My tail wags with pleasure. I can't catch my breath.
He came in my dreams ,but so did my DEATH!!

A picture speaks a thousand words. Please don’t dump your babies. Get them desexed before they get pregnant. If it’s too late then reach out to a rescue group, tell them the situation, offer to foster them if they can’t take them. The right rescue group will pay for vet care, meds, food and litter, taking away most of the costs of having a pet. They will then assist with adopting them out when they are old enough. In QLD there are last litter programs and discounted desexing vouchers. If you’re over 65 there are also programs to help Golden Hearts AWL is one of them.

Adopt don’t shop.

If you come across a pregnant or birthing cat or your own baby is about to give birth please consider using PPE to prevent yourself and family members from contacting Q Fever.

Next problem, babies are struggling to latch on and eat. 2 of them have got it, now for the last 2 - Learning is hard 🎓

Update: After a few hours of trying, all babies are now eating and doing well 😸 Now to think of names. I really wanted to do galaxy names to match mums but now I'm thinking maybe Easter related? Stay tuned.

⚠️⚠️⚠️Warning Graphic Birthing Content⚠️⚠️⚠️
At approx 11.03 am no. 4 was born.

That is a placenta, every kitten is born with one. Mum usually eats it. In this case Mum only ate 1 placenta the rest was binned.

We believe this is her first litter as mum was a little unsure of what to do. So with vet instruction I've had to step in for 3 of them. After birth, mums are suppose to break the amniotic sac and lick the babies faces (to clear mucas) and bodies to stimulate breathing and clean them up. Mum didn't do this as she was busy cleaning herself, the birthing bed and the kittens bodies. I've used a cloth to wipe their little faces and bodies. I also had to cut the cords of two as she didn't do it. To cut the cord you must tie dental floss tightly around the cord about 1/2 an inch from the kittens belly and then cut the cord between the placenta and floss - this is to stop the blood flow. When cats cut t it themselves the force from mums teeth is enough to stop bleeding.
