    haley @feederofcats yesterday, I got a call about 2 very sick kittens in a hot backyard. I went down after work and unfortunately, one of them was already dead this guy was barely responsive. at about 5 weeks old he barely weighs 5 oz. (for reference, he should weigh over 1 lb by this age) 11:58 PM • Jun 12, 2024 80.2K Views

    haley @feederofcats got him safe. his gums were white, he was laterally recumbent, so weak and anemic, can feel every little bone. absolutely infested with fleas. covered in ants from laying with his brother's dead body 12:01 AM ⚫ Jun 13, 2024 24.9K Views

    haley @feederofcats ... he responded to food and though he was weak, he showed an appetite so I wanted to give him a chance. rushed him to an emergency hospital where he was in the ICU all night on IV fluids and active warming therapy. PCV confirmed severe anemia 12:03 AM ⚫ Jun 13, 2024 24.8K Views

    haley @feederofcats ... his appetite never wavered so again, I made the decision to give him the night to see how he does. somehow, he made it through the night. I picked him up this AM and am continuing active warming, fluids, and started several meds 12:07 AM ⚫ Jun 13, 2024 25.9K Views

    haley @feederofcats ... he's sitting up, moving around a little bit, still eating well. starting to sass me a lil about meds and eye cleanings! but kittens can go downhill so fast and he is definitely still considered to be hanging out in the general vicinity of death's door. but man is he fighting . 12:11 AM · Jun 13, 2024 - 57.3K Views

    haley @feederofcats the loss of the other kitten is really weighing on me. I'm glad this one has a chance, but it's hard when I keep thinking about how the other baby deserved a chance, too. He felt like he had only passed within an hour of me getting there. I was so close. rescue is heartbreaking 10:56 PM ⚫ Jun 13, 2024 75.1K Views 85 102 5.6K ☐ 41 ↑
