Amanda is very excited about receiving this kitten when she is ready to go. She will come complete with micro chip, crate, blanket, shots, wormed, registered, and with a health guarantee. With a life span of about 17 years she will be around for a while :-)

That will be pretty good medicine for the broken hearts in your home. Check with your vet on vaccination ages and intervals. Breeders typically start to vaccinate too early to be of any good to the kittens.
Congratulations, good luck and Merry Christmas!Leave a comment:

Now that the passing of Pearls is behind her Amanda has gone forward with a replacement kitten. She has decided to get a Savannah Kitten from a local breeder. The kitten is a week and a few days old now and She will receive the the little girl right around Christmas.

Deb and I are sorry to hear of the kitten. The weakness Pearls had may have been congenital.
It is a cruel thing that we attach ourselves to creatures that don't have our life span. I guess it is natures way of making us see the cycle of the world in an accelerated time frame.
There are many abandoned pets out there that will melt your daughters heart (and yours)..Leave a comment:

I am sorry to say that Pearls did not improve over night and the fluids he was given were pooling in his abdomen. The vets best guess is that he has a perforated intestine and is too small for a major surgery of that sort. It was likely ether a preexisting condition or the intestine was ruptured by the passing of a very large volume of worms. We are so saddened and disappointed by this outcome :-( :-( :-(

Rob,
We are sorry to hear about your kitty being sick. Did the Vet check him for Feline Leukemia? I can't remember right off the top of my head how old they have to be or if there is even a minimum age.
I know it is sad but there is something that Deb has seen that you could call a "Wasting kitten" syndrome. It seems they get one once in a while that just seems to fade no matter what they try.
Hope by the time you read this "Pearls" is better.Leave a comment:

I am disappointed to have to post that the worming medication did not agree with Pearls and he is now at the vets and will have to stay overnight on intervenes fluids. They are not sure what's wrong with him but he's not looking good. It may be simple dehydration or low sugar from having diarrhea or something that is still unknown. He will ether spring back as quick as he got sick or will pass away overnight :-( :-(

Well ... The trip to the vet revealed that She is a HE LOL LOL ... His "gifts" are just beginning to appear because he is by the vets best guess, only 4 to 5 weeks old and I have had him here for close to a week. No wonder he needed the bottle when I found him. Anyway, the vet says no ear mites, no flees but does have round worms which is not uncommon. He's a little on the light side at 1.46 pounds and is too young for any shots so back to isolation for him. Vet says he looks good and should be OK... I'll see to it one way or another :-)
On a different and not so nice note, the lady who dropped off the other 2 that we found at the humane called to see how they were doing, and was told that they had been put down as "wild cats" :-( She was very upset and I am angry. They said they would not put them down and if I had known they might, I would have saved them myself, tamed them and found good homes for them. It took all of 48 hours to save this one and of my own time .. perhaps a total of 5 hours. I will never give them any donations ever again and will never turn over any animal to them again.
