Exclamation Black kitty need help

I adopted a kitten from an adoption drive at a night uptown. I chose this one since not many people like black cats.And she received the least attention at the drive. The person in charge said she just need a flu injection cost about rm30 and will recover in 2,3 days. So i brought her right away to the shelter's panel clinic but theres no such a simple treatment to help her. so i just keep on giving watevr treatment she need like vit. C injection,antibiotics, cough syrup,deflea/deworm and super premium food which she never touch. (she only eat dry kibble)
She was a vry difficult kitty wen it comes to giving medication and bathing .I dont think i can force her to take meds no more because she will bcome stressed n wont eat or drink after that. I also injured myself and needed injection for her bites. I even bought her catnip n toys to cheer her up.
and her condition worsen she always sneeze out green phlegm allover the house.I am so srry to say that i am unable to handle her anymore. I hv nver spent such big expense n effort on a cat.Im just married and might be pregnant anytime soon so its a concern for my own health too.
It breaks my heart to let her go because she was a very sensitive and attention seeking cat.She used to meow,follow me around n beg so i wont leave her outside bedroom.(all the way splashing green phlegm) I cant send her back to the crowded shelter or dump her on the street. I hv found a black cats decapitated before , suspected for black magic purpose. So i think its more humanely to euthanize her if no one else want her.
So im looking for anyone out there who love black cats as i do and can give more proper atention to adopt her. She is not terminally ill, but I just cant put up with her sneezing out green phlegm cz i live in small apartment.And im also unable to afford financially for more invasive treatment.

Default Re: Black kitty need help

Having a cat is a lifetime commitment. You need to consider a lot of things when you decide to adopt a cat. Time, money, space and etc. Cat can live up to 16 years or even more. When you take her from the shelter ( they transport the cats from their shelter to Danau Kota ), you meant the world to her because you saved her and somehow you promise her to have a bright future, a loving family, proper food, comfortable place to sleep, love and care. By giving the kitty away just because she is sick, for me is something you shouldn't do.

When you bring a cat to a vet, you need to ask the vet what is this what is that, for how long, the name of the meds, keep record for everything. Normally there should be improvement after 2-3 days of medication especially when they received injection. When there's no improvement, bring the kitty to another vet to seek 2nd opinion or even for 3rd opinion.

Cat can be stressful in a new environment and people. Yes some cats are very hard to give medicine to them. There's many video that show easy way in giving meds to the cat without making her too stressful. If you're stressful, you will make the cat even more stressful. Both of you need to be calm. If not, ask someone to hold the kitty ( the correct way ) while you give the medicine to the kitty. Some vets offers a service when the owner of the kitty can't give medicine to the cat themselves. Owner need to bring the kitty everyday to the clinic in order for the vet and their team to give the medicine to the cat. Ask your vet whether they provide that service or not.

If you really can't have this cat for a long term, the least you can do is take care of her until she's healthy. When she's healthy enough, you can put her up for adoption. Not many people willingly to adopt a sick cat.

Is it humanely thing to euthanize an orphan kid if no one wants to adopt him/her? The answer is no. Why? Because s/he is a human, a living thing. Same goes to the cat. She is a living thing too.

A cat is not an until cat. It's a lifetime commitment.
