💭Advice/Help Needed found and rescued this kitten, need help determining gender!

Hi! We found this small black kitty sa labas ng grocery store nung bumabagyo the last couple days and took her home kasi along highway din baka masagasaan 😭 We decided to fully keep her nadin. We brought her to the vet immediately for check up and initial deworm and shots but they adviced to wait 7 days and observe/quarantine muna incase may mag manifest na sickness. She is doing super well though masigla, super playful, hearty appetite and we gave her a warm bath (thankfully no fleas or wounds!)

We named her Mavis (from hotel transylvania) kasi mukha siyang paniki 🦇 but then, i had a good look sa private area niya and suddenly i have doubts if babae ba or lalake 🤔 Forgot to ask the vet din, i just assumed girlie siya kasi it looks that way pero parang mali ako? I have other cats but i adopted them ng older na so mas easier to tell. Sa Saturday pa yung next visit niya sa vet so I wanted to ask people's opinions 😂 excited yarn

Appreciate any advice! ☺️

⭐Recommendations Cat litter reco based on our exp ✨

Post image
Upvotes

Just wanna share that I discovered a great odor-control combo for cat litter! ✨🐱

So, my top 3 sands are PlushPaws Cassava, Easy Scoop Tofu, and Meowtech Tofu.

However, Easy Scoop and Meowtech Tofu aren’t as good in terms of odor control compared to PlushPaws—unless you scoop your cat’s poop right away or within a few hours.

PlushPaws Cassava, on the other hand, has AMAZING odor control! The only problem is that their product quality has been inconsistent lately. Sometimes, the texture is just right, but there are batches that are super dusty—almost powder-like, which I really don’t like. 😭

So I tried mixing Easy Scoop + PlushPaws Cassava to help improve Easy Scoop’s odor control, and OMG… IT WORKED! 🤍✨

It clumps really well, still smells great even after my cat poops, and the mixture is way less dusty compared to using PlushPaws alone.

Honestly, this might be my new favorite litter combo. 😂🤍✨

PS. Gonna try Meowtech Tofu + Plushpaws some other time HIHIHI

I HAVE 8 CATS — and I finally found a way to eliminate cat litter odor, so I thought I’d share.

This is especially for furparents with multiple indoor cats in an enclosed, air-conditioned space.

I’ve tried everything — expensive litter sands like Meowtech, automatic litter boxes like Petkit PuraMax Pro 2, DIY deodorizers — pero meron at meron pa rin talagang amoy, especially in a 15 sqm room with 8 cats.

So what I did was create a small partition specifically for their litter area, with a pet door and 2 large litter boxes. Then I installed an exhaust fan inside the partition.

Because the exhaust pulls the air out of the litter area, the odor doesn’t spread into the main room.

And the best part? I now just use cheap bentonite litter. No need for expensive litter or fancy deodorizers.

For an enclosed, air-conditioned room, this is honestly the most effective solution I’ve found.

💭Advice/Help Needed [Question] [Advice Needed] Pina confine na yung pusa namin pero the second day after na ipaswero parang mas tumamlay sya

Upvotes

First time owner. Ano po kaya pwedeng gawin? Medyo kapos po sa ngayon kaya nagdadalawang isip kami na mag agree sa mga suggestions nung doctor.

Una sinusuka nya mga kinakain then nahihirapan mag poop. Then ayun pina check up, kinuhaan dugo wala naman daw problem sa dugo and tiyan, then niresetahan ng mga gamot. Nahihirapahn kami painumin ng tablet kaya yun nga pina confine na namin yun din kase ulit ulit sabi nung doktor, then nag visit kami after a day medyo nag improve na but after a day matamlay daw need na daw e swero asap kaya yun pina swero na. Then after a day nag update parang mas tumamlay sya. if okay daw samin since more on symptomatic treatment magbibigay na daw ng new iv meds, more on supplementation lang daw kase mabibigay nya.

Pasensya na po kung medyo magulo pakakasulat. I'm really expecting na gagaling na pusa namin after taking the meds na nireseta at proper rest pero parang mas lumalala lang situation. Pasensya na first time owner I have a little knowledge about cats. 🥲

Pasensya na kung di maayos pakaka sukat I'm currently nagmamadali medyo stress din sa work huhu

💭Advice/Help Needed Ringworm from kitten to entire family

Upvotes

I need advice and to know my options. We adopted our very first pet almost 2 months ago. He had some balding at adoption but was told he was likely attacked on the flight here by littermates. They did a PCR just in case and it was negative according to the records. I brought him to the vet a week and a half in… they said since the PCR was negative, just keep an eye on it. We adopted another kitten 3 weeks out. Then our first kitten appeared to be getting more spots and losing more hair. We started using clotrimazole on the spots and brought him to the vet 3 days later. The vet said to stop the cream and wait for PCR/culture results. 7 days later I was told the results were positive and he had already gotten SO much worse over that week. They told us to have him shaved and bathe him in betadine. I didn’t like the idea of that but we had him shaved and opted for miconazole/chlorhexadine shampoo instead. We also started the original kitten on intraconazole. Over the next couple days I noticed ringworm on my kids faces. At this point, I needed to send the kittens back to the shelter for treatment so we didn’t continuously cross-contaminate. The shelter stopped the intrafungol d/t fear of it affecting the young kittens organs and decided to just do like sulfur dips but it sounds like lime sulfur dips cannot completely get rid of it. My kids on the other hand were put on a topical and oral diflucan once a week for 4 weeks. My husband and I ended up with spots and are using a topical only. I’ve been cleaning nonstop. Trying to figure out what is best to use for each surface and how to fully disinfect. I’m losing my mind over here already and now I noticed my son has 2 areas on his scalp. This was worst case scenario. The pedi said to bring the kids back if it ends up on the scalp because they would require different treatment. When I hold the woodslamp to his head, the follicles on those hairs light up bright green. I called today and they said he would have to come in and do labs and get a different oral med. He’s only 5 and I’m terrified to give him a med that can have negative effects on his little body and his liver. Is there any alternative? Is there a way the cream can work on the head? What should we do differently? Why is this so widespread? Someone please help.

💭Advice/Help Needed Cat Flu.

Post image
Upvotes

Upon knowing the info about the 3rd eyelid, dinala namin tong stray cat sa vet. Then, sabi ng vet ay may flu daw sya and sipon. So nagshot sya ng antibiotics kanina then start ng antibiotics nya tomorrow. Binigyan din sya ng Vit C and pina-up din ung Lysine na tinetake nya. Ang worry namin ngayon, yung mga meds nya after meal, pero humina sya kumain ngayon mas gusto nyang uminom ng water. Nahirapan din kaming painumin sya ng vitamins c na drops kasi pinapagpag nya lang. What to do? Also, ano pang pwedeng gawin para lumakas ung immune system nya? 😔 First time lang namin to never pa kaming nakapag-alaga ng cat so di po namin alam gagawin. Thank you so much sa mga sasagot.

This muning is such a good girl sa vet kanina. Sana gumaling na sya. 😔🙏🙏

💭Advice/Help Needed My cat is dying, and I feel completely helpless

Upvotes

i know that i’ll probably get hate for this, and honestly, i feel like i deserve it.

my cat gave birth on thursday afternoon. she was trying to wake me up when she was about to go into labor, and when i woke up, i put her in a box. a few minutes later, she gave birth to one kitten that was already dead. after that, i genuinely thought that was the only kitten she had.

later that night, at around 11 pm, i was doing a school project when she suddenly walked in front of me while bleeding. i thought it was just because she had given birth earlier, but i woke my dad up and told him that my cat was bleeding and that there was something hanging from her birth hole. he said that it would probably go away, but at that point, i was already really worried and panicking. i genuinely didn’t know what to do.

then morning came, and she was lying on a chair looking really weak. when i checked her, that thing that was hanging from her was still there. i looked it up and saw that it could be an emergency and that she needed urgent care. i told my mom, but she said that we didn’t have the money for it.

that afternoon, my sibling came home, and i told them that i needed help pulling out what i thought was a kitten. but when they checked, they told me, “that’s not a kitten, i think that’s her uterus.”
we called our mom again and asked, “what are we going to do? we don’t have the money?” after that, my sibling cleaned my cat and put her in a comfortable cage.

i know that having a pet is a responsibility, you also have to be able to take care of their health and medical needs. i understand that, and i’m not trying to make excuses for what happened. this situation was just something i never expected. she had given birth before, so i never imagined that this time something like this could happen.

since thursday, i haven’t stopped crying. i’m genuinely devastated because i feel like i can’t do anything. i’m still underage, and i don’t have any money of my own right now. i feel so helpless. all i can do is watch her slowly getting weaker in front of me, and it’s breaking my heart.

i am the worst fur parent ever. i feel so guilty because she trusted me, and now i’m failing her.

i love her so much. i know she’s not ready to go, and i genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. i feel so helpless, and i wish i could do something to take her pain away

I took him to the vet and have been putting medicine on it and giving him medication for over two weeks. But a few days after we finished the medication, it came back again. The vet said it wasn’t a fungal infection, but they also don’t know what’s causing it.

Kumusta po sa inyong lahat! Eto po si Skillet, stray cat lang po siya sa amin na pinapakain ko paminsan-minsan.

Nung binaha po kami dito sa Pampanga noong August 28, ni-rescue ko po siya at ginawa ko po ang best ko para mabigyan siya ng safe na shelter. Pero napansin ko po agad na nahihirapan siyang umihi.

Agad po akong naghanap ng available na vet kahit baha pa, at thankfully nakahanap naman po ako. Nagawa ko pong ma-afford yung emergency treatment niya na umabot ng ₱5,000+, pero kulang pa po iyon. Sa ngayon, nasa around ₱21,000 na po ang total bill niya, at madadagdagan pa po dahil kailangan niya ng follow-up treatment at monitoring.

Kaya po humihingi ako ng kaunting tulong para kay Skillet. Kahit maliit na halaga o simpleng pag-share po ng post malaking tulong na po sa amin.

GCash: 09076889886

Pet info: Puspin, Male, Unknown Age we adopted him as an adult
Medical Status: Currently under confinement and catheter and will be given appropriate medicine for treating Urinary Blockage
Financial Details: Estimated Vet Bill 26k+
Current funds: None, all went to the bill

💭Advice/Help Needed Traveling with cats

Upvotes

I’m planning to travel around Luzon via bus. And I want to bring my cat with me, because naaawa akong iwanan siya kahit na may automatic feeder and water naman siya. Only cat ko lang siya kaya mag-isa siya. Hindi din ako at peace with the idea na mag-isa lang siya, at mamimiss ko lang din cat ko. May cat travelled with me na via ferry before since I frequently move and bring her with me, but nasstress kasi siya which is evident in how her appetite changed.

What can I do kaya para masanay siya? Okay lang kahit gradually, di din naman ako nagmamadali. I just want to bring my cat kahit saan ako magpunta without compromising her. Thank you! :)
