Post subcutaneous fluids and meds. Our little Biscuits seems to be feeling much better today. Her weight is up almost 100g since her vet visit, her appetite is improving, and she’s feeling more playful. Let’s keep it going, Biscuits! 🧡

Can you fall more in love with your husband from one picture? I think I can ❤️

Last night I called Sean (who was on another rescue related errand) to tell him the news from the vet and relay the choice the vet had asked me to make…did we want to euthanize or provide supportive care?

I cried to him and said “How could we ever choose to euthanize a kitten that was making biscuits on the drive here?” Sean responded simply with “We don’t. We bring her home and do everything we can to hopefully help her survive this” Absolutely no hesitation, even with the possibility that we could be signing ourselves up for some really hard days and potential heartbreak.

He really is a rock and Biscuits could not possibly have a more dedicated, compassionate, and loving foster dad.

Not the best holiday weekend over here

We’re calling our new little gal Biscuits because 24/7 she is kneading and making biscuits. Truly the sweetest little soul.

Her appetite has been lower than I would like the entire time she’s been with us, but nothing is really seemed off with her other than that. Last night we took her temperature and it was high. Ironically, I also had a fever so the last thing I wanted to do with go to the urgent care vet but this is what kitten fostering looks like.

So with our matching fevers, we went to the vet together and Biscuits truly charmed all the vet staff. They said she was playing with q tips in the back and not acting sick at all despite having a fever. The vet wanted to go ahead and do a combo test and SNAP test to rule out panleuk and to the surprise of the vet and to us Biscuits snap test came back positive for panleukopenia.

This is genuinely some of the scariest news a kitten foster can get. Panleuk is so deadly and so now we’re taking things one day at a time with Biscuits while giving her all the supportive care we can.

Big thank you to for letting me bother her on the weekend with questions of what to do and getting bags of meds and supplies ready for me to help get Biscuits through this.

We’re trying to be hopeful while also realistic over here. We might not be making as many posts while we’re handling things on this end. Please send Biscuits all the very best vibes and we’re hoping for the best possible outcome for her.

Biscuits fever went down today and her appetite has been a bit better so we’re hoping things will just get better one day at a time 🧡

Sean’s work view might be better than mine 😭 but no I’m not jealous that he works from home. Not at all!

Do we think my cats might want their dinner? For context, they get fed in the room at the top of the stairs 😂

The pure joy you get from a cat using the area you specifically put together (cat cube plus a cat bed in it) is unmatched. Happy Caturday from Kanga!

A post bath Rosie! Her shampoo makes her look pretty red and it usually looks back to “normal” by the next day!

Rosie might be jussssst as tired of the vet as we are 🥲

Kanga enjoying her spot where she can survey the whole loft 🥰 It makes me so happy to see her out of her shell a little more!

I know it’s been quiet over here lately and we’ve gotten a couple of questions about when we will have foster kittens again. The answer to that is…we aren’t quite sure! Right now we want to take a break from adding in new fosters so we can focus on actually completing the loft AND put our full focus on Rosie and her ongoing skin issues.

Yesterday we took Rosie to the vet and the skin culture showed that she (again) has bacteria that she needs antibiotics for. The vet said that, unfortunately, this bacteria is extremely resistant to antibiotics so there is really only one option to try. While figuring that out, we are still trying to find Rosie some relief from how itchy she always is. We’re starting cytopoint injections and we’re hoping this might help her feel more comfortable!

The vet has been pretty honest that Rosie’s skin problems are starting to exhaust her expertise and if we can’t resolve the bacteria or the itchiness with the few options left to us, then she could make a referral to a vet dermatologist. The problem with that is that the closest one is 45 minutes away, Rosie hates car rides, and the ever present issue of how expensive life is.

Which is another reason we aren’t planning to add any fosters for awhile…fosters can get expensive! We always end up spending more money than we anticipate with a group of kittens and right now the cost of Kanga and Rosie monthly supplies (food, litter, medicines, toys, etc) on top of Rosie’s vet bills (which I attached a picture of) means we are a bit maxed out at the moment.

I hope you keep following along (even if we’re kittenless for awhile) and we truly want to say thank you for all the support ❤️🌹 We go back to the vet in three weeks to see if Rosie has responded to the antibiotics 🤞🏼
