Sara Tiedeman, a veterinary technician in California, recently took in a pair of newborn kittens that need urgent medical care. The woman, who is an expert in caring for neonatal and critically ill kittens, consented to look for the young ones.
The cats were taken to the rescue facility Sara works with because they were in such bad shape, had such low weight, and were basically just skin and bones. They were from another organization, which regrettably lacked the resources and the foster homes necessary to take in the young children.
To provide the kittens the nourishment their tummies need, Sara started tube-feeding them 24 hours a day. As a result, they started to gain strength.
Wild the furry feline let out her squeaky voice, plus she also figured out how to feed from a bottle after a couple of days.
Foster mother of the kittens Sara reported:
Wild, the tiniest gray kitten with the fluffiest coat, was extremely underweight and undeveloped. The brown tabby kitten, Brave, was nearly completely still.
The kittens were healing because of Sara’s attention and the food they received every two hours. The adorable Wild walked around and observed everything near her nest because she was curious on everything. When she arrived in the volunteer’s care, her sister, a stunning tabby named Brave, was unable to walk and needed food, fluids, and affection in order to make any progress.
It took Brave a little longer to discover the function of the bottle, but he was happy with the pampering from his foster mother.
Wild the kitten was the smaller of the two, but with a few feedings, the feline was on her feet and her appetite skyrocketed. She soon managed to feed herself on her own and she looked much stronger.
Sarah tells:
“Wild is very mature for her age, she likes to observe her surroundings and keep an eye on everyone. Brave is just a bundle of love! After each meal, I take her in my hands and give her kisses, every time she wiggles full of happiness ».
When Brave acquired the strength to stand up, he made a wonderful advancement. Every time she ate, the cute cat would purr happily and make a point of eating everything on her plate until she was satisfied.
For her part, Wild has also had great success, and hardly much of the frail and underweight kitten from that first day is still around.
His mother-in-law assures:
“Now, her face appears to be lot larger. He can move and stand like a normal infant. She continues to eat quite well and is ecstatic! I’m quite pleased with her “.
The naughty Wild moves with great ease and has a lot of muscle in her feet. While Brave is still somewhat unsteady, he works incredibly hard to be able to run and walk like his sister can.
Sarah added:
“It will be very interesting to see how Brave’s mobility develops during each week! Regardless of her special needs, she is a happy and healthy girl and that’s all that matters!”
