Hello Everyone,
I adopted a Siamese Mama cat and her kitten from the dog/cat shelter in our area. The kitten seemed to be robust and very playful, but in the last two weeks during the time Mama has been trying to wean her, she has taken to it badly. She is about 7 weeks old at this point. She developed a cold last week which she seemed to kick well~no breathing problems now, but is just listless and seems to want to sleep all the time. She will eat a bit of kitten chow in the mornings, but not much else all day. She will walk around outside and try to be with Mama cat, but that goes over badly since Mama wants nothing to do with her now. She looks depressed and still ill, even though she shows no symptoms. We don't quite have the money for a vet at the moment, so I'm wondering if you all have any sorts of recipes or formulas that help with kittens who are having trouble thriving. The Mama cat had her shots/spaying first thing, but this little one was malnourished so badly that I was afraid to give her the shots or the worming, until she put on some weight. Any ideas out there? She is in the house now for the night; I don't know what else to do but keep her warm, and let her sleep for now.
Thanks,
Melanie
