Black kitty need help

nurinz_zidan · #1 10-07-2013, 04:11 PM

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.

I think you need to take it to the vet for thru check up. If you cat have flu then let her board at the vet until she recover. New kittens just needs deworm and antibiotic jab. Deflea by combing their fur using the flea comb. Then uses frontline spray (spray on a cotton and wipe her whole body). Repeat the combing until all fleas are gone. Repeat the frontline spay once a mth. Then 2 weeks later the vaccination jab. All babies hates medication. Ask your vet to teach you or those people from the adoption drive. They should have someone who can give you some pointers in care.
It follows you around because she sees you as her protector. Do not give up on her. Hope this will be a good training in care of babies before your own baby arrival. Do be aware of cat urine & shit. Use gloves & mask to handle them if you are pregnant.
This may sound hard work now but your effort will help a kitten to have a good life & you will be generously rewarded with satisfaction that you have save a life as you give birth to another.

Have a blessed life.
