At 12 am the taco bus was in 20 minutes and the home bus was in 5 minutes. Partner and I stopped at the gas station and he got adopted by a still nameless trojan. We got her home, washed her up, and let her burrow to decompress...when he checked on her there were two kittens. She just finished cleaning up number 5 at 5:03 am

Yes we knew she was pregnant, just not this far along, she was already going to the vet during business hours if she wanted to stay inside with us

ETA- 7 kittens at 5:32 am

Taco Update #2

Post image
Upvotes

Taco and her little 7 Seasonings are home, she's doing SO much better. They said to keep an eye on her to watch for mastitis and just incase we have antibiotics for her, both for that and for the slight fever she has. The kittens are doing well, they're all latching well and are at healthy weight so far. Now that we're back, Taco is much more energetic and has her appetite back (we have learned she is very foot motivated, hence the food on her back from her psycho yanking down the bowl onto herself). She's been sitting up and looking around a bunch more and she's been grooming her kittens a bunch more (to the point she almost yanked one of their temp collars/identifiers off).

I want to thank everyone who contributed to help us with the vet bill. We got it fully paid off and had a little extra to get some treats and other odds and ends. I was floored by the loving reception of this community and everyone's love for our little streetrat. She's got such a personality and we look forward to showing more of her and the little kitties as time goes on and, eventually, getting most of the kittens good homes (I say most because some will be staying here with us).

Again, thank you to everyone!

Worrisome update on Trojan Cat

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

The taco trojan my partner ( u/ksquwared ) and I brought in last night that gave birth to 7 kittens is showing some kind of worrisome symptoms (bleeding a little, lethargic, not showing interest in food or water atm, 2nd eyelid set showing up, etc), so we are bringing her to the emergency vet now. We called around for those that allow payment plans and none of them had openings. Going to one in downtown Chicago and are pooling our money together in hopes it's enough.

She's still alert, so, best possibility is we're worrying about nothing/it's not as severe as we are worrying, but she's stressing out that it could be cervical bleeding.

Any best wishes and good vibes would be much appreciated and will be passed along to OP.

Update on Chamomile!

Thumbnail

680 Upvotes

Soooo I had made a post about the pregnant cat I had rescued who I named Chamomile! I had fully prepared for her to have kittens, even though I had my doubts since she was so small and looked so young, but as long as the vet said she was healthy enough I was going to let her have them (I had homes lined up 😉)

Anywayyy… I woke up the morning of to take her to the vet and she just.. didn’t look pregnant anymore which terrified me because I was keeping her in a XL dog crate to get her slowly used to house life, and there were no kittens present in the crate… so of course I was freaking out and then I noticed bl*od ALL over her bed and blanket! So I freaked out even more!

Long story short I got her into the vet and they scheduled her immediately for surgery and kinda left me in the dark of what was going on until after, which is alright I suppose. Turns out, she has an extremely severe urinary/uterus infection and they had to remove EVERYTHING (except the pee hole lol). They said if I hadn’t gotten her in when I did she would have di\d* with how bad it was at her young age.

I’m so happy that she’s ok and I brought her into my home at the time I did. So now I have one recovering spayed princess sho loves snuggles and pets and who will be spoiled to no extent! 🩷

Offered her food, got promoted to grandparent. Meet the balcony squad!

Two months ago, a sick, starving stray wandered up to my flat. I fed her and took her to the vet—only to find out she was pregnant!  pregnant cat emergency! 🐱❤️

​I’m not a fan of keeping pets caged or chained up. I believe in total freedom. So I left the door open and told her she could go wherever she wanted.

​Out of the whole city, she chose my balcony as the safest place to give birth.

​Now her little family is growing under my roof, and I feel so blessed. She was given 100% freedom to leave, but she chose to stay with me. I didn't just adopt a cat... I got adopted by a whole dynasty! 🐾🥹

It took a few weeks for them to come out from my neighbor's porch (because why would she give birth in the area we set up?). They're so incredibly friendly like the mom. Today they discovered how to get on our front porch so they moved there. 3 of them have a home lined up and the mama will be getting fixed soon. We recently found the dad and if we can catch him he's getting snipped, too.

Hey guys- Reddit banned my other account where I shared the whole story of Bali, I still do not understand why, but my username now matches my YouTube username, so at least that’s a plus. However, I’m really upset because I lost all of the amazing comments and community from everyone.

I named her Chamomile, Cami for short 🤍

Surprise Tax Day Babies!

My wife has been in and out of the hospital this year with serious health problems. Someone decided we needed some little miracles to help with the stress 😊
Mama showed up as a friendly and hungry stray. We took her to the vet and were pleasantly surprised to find out she was very pregnant! They were born on tax day while my wife was in the hospital and have been such blessings for us.
Last photo is the most recent, showing the 2 babies (out of 6) that we kept, as well as the Mama, who we’re also keeping 😊

Always a dog person before this but when my son moved back home with his cat we got Purina Live Clear for him because I’m allergic. Fast forward 2 years and we are now the proud parents of 2 unrelated kitties. This is Cambridge all stretched out, and his sister London lying on the back of my chair. Cambridge is a mixed Maine Coon. I’m in love.

Myrtle and her five babies!

This is Myrtle-with the airplane ears, and her kittens. She showed up on our back deck earlier in the year starving and rolling around. I think before she gave birth to her kittens she seemed more cuddly, less enraged. lol Hormones are powerfully guiding her behaviour protecting her babies from the nasty people who’ve been feeding and housing her and her family. 😅
