🚨 CUTIE ALERT 🚨

Just Herbie popping in to say he’s doing just fine and Dad is just busy and hasn’t posted about him recently. His incision is healing well and when he is bigger and his jaw is more stable, there are a couple of teeth in the scar line that will likely need to be removed. Other than that, Herbie is focusing on being extra cute, pondering the existence of aliens/his potential lineage to them, and learning how to do regular kitten stuff. Oh, and EATING - lil dude sure can put it back!

We love us some Herbacious B!

Alright folks, we have THREE 3ish month old kittens available for adoption. A little maniac tabby boy named Chachi and two little girls, a black long haired gal named Brittany and a black short haired gal named Briar. They’re all sweet and fun to be around and they loooove to play! We have a full house and would love to see these babes go to loving indoor homes.

Well it’s been an interesting day.

We reached 105 intakes for the year with the complicated birth of India’s tiny kittens. She was part of a small colony that we are assisting with and their caregiver found her in distress when she went to feed on her day off. Normal acting India would not have allowed herself to be handled but she didn’t have a lot of fight left because she had an upper respiratory infection and was heavily pregnant. The caregiver was able to get India in a kennel and brought her to safety at Catman2.

We were able to start treating India, who turned out to be a real sweetheart who was craving comfort even from a strange human. Less than 24 hours from intake, she began to go into labor and didn’t feel well enough to do much. We kept a close eye on her today while still giving her space to let her instincts lead the way, but did end up having to help remove a couple of the kittens from their sacs and placentas and stimulate them. India was exhausted and we don’t blame her. With a little help and a lot of encouragement from the humans, this kitty mom was able to rest up and regain her strength, and by bedtime rounds she had cleaned the kittens and allowed them to nurse. And then she ate some nice sloppy high cal food to help her be strong and give her babies everything they need.

Tonight we all rest after another wild day at Catman2. 💤

Poppa Calvin is checking Sisqo over like “what happened to you, lil bro?” 😂

Everything went well and his veterinary team at Sylva Animal Hospital kept a vigilant watch over him 😎🫶🏻

Alright friends, let’s all cross our paws and throw out some good vibes for Mr. Sisqó today. He’s staying at Sylva Animal Hospital for the day to be neutered. Given his complications with anesthesia during his amputation, I feel most comfortable having him neutered by his original surgeon who knows him best. We think that the complications were due to him being in rougher shape and smaller under prolonged anesthesia, but this one should be a quick snip and go 😉🤞🏻
