Marcus litter.

I got these 5 from someone who trapped them at a local dump. The hour they arrived I started them on panacur because their bellies were angry. And they, understandably, were a little angry too.

It's been three weeks and today was their first trip to the vet. They got all the vaccines and all the tests.

They popped for coccidia, hookworms and roundworms. It's completely expected for spicy kids to come in with at least one parasite. But to have three even after treatment for two of them is rare.

They are now getting treated for all of the above. Tomorrow I'll sanitize their kennel. Three of them are friendly enough for adoption. One of them, the orange one, is double defective with no lower lip and he purrs if you look at him. Two others need a bit more taming.

Once they finish their meds and get their rabies booster they will head out to another foster or rescue so I can free up room for the next batch of spicy kids.

Fix yo damn pets.

Broccoli Cheddar is still having eye issues, but he ain't letting it get him down

He acts totally normal and doesn't really have any other signs of anything being wrong other than his eyes getting watery and slightly goopy.

He's growing and eating and playing well, so I'm not too worried about him at this point. I clean his eyes and give him special eye drops when I'm there and it usually eases up the issue considerably. Barn cats are almost always experiencing some kinda eye thing, as it's part of the environment. These cats have a job to do and if their condition gets too bad, a vet is called.

That being said, I'd totally adopt Broccoli Cheddar if I could afford it, but I cannot.

Most of the kittens this year have gotten adopted, which makes me really happy. French Onion got a home and I think someone has eyes on Lobster Bisque.
