Yesterday I rescued a 4 week old kitten with cat flu. She was very dehydrated, had diorriha, annimic, was very thin and riddled with worms and fleas.

I rushed her to the vets and she was taken into intensive care and put on a drip. It was touch and go through the night but she made it. She is still very poorly but vet thinks she has past the critical stage.

I went to see her tonight and she was so much brighter although still very poorly (I had to poke her yesterday to make sure she was still alive). Tonight she was trying to play and was cleaning herself.

So here she is:

So please everyone can you all cross your fingers to make sure she continues to make a speedy recovery

She looks so ill - poor love. She must have been in an awful state yesterday. :(

Well done, I'm sure she'll repay with love and companionship. :)

Same age as mine when I had them. Poor little poppet. Simba and Ebony send kitty vibes. Well done for rescuing her, my two 'feral' kittens have just discovered the sofa.....

A few years a we found a tiny kitten, estimated at about 4 weeks, in the horses field. It's in the middl of nowhereso goodness knows where he came from or how he got there. We could't take him home due to havig a very jealous older cat so had to take him to our local rescue. They fell in love withhim and eventually one of their directors took him home where he still is today.

I hope yours recovers as well as he did and goes on to have a happy and safe life. Well done for not walking past xx

Awwwwww! She is just adorable :)
Well done on the rescue, doubt she would have survived much longer without mum. How did you find her? Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery! :)

What a lovely kind thing to do! Poppet is absolutely adorable and you're giving her the best chance possible.

A lovely warm fluffy start to my day - thank you!

Morning everyone, thank you again for all your well wishes. Haven't heard anything from vet so hopefully that means she has made it thro another nite.

I don't want to say too much about the rescue as I don't believe this was done maliciously, just a situation that has got out of control and owners were all to glad to hand her over.

Vet said she pooped out sugar puffs to give you some idea of how desperate the situation was

SHE IS HOME :) :) :)

Vet rang today and said she was really happy with her progress and I could take her home.

She is 10000% better, even since yesterday. Vet said she won't be at full strength for another 10 days and only time will tell what lasting damage has been done but fingers crossed we caught it in time.

She loves cuddles and has been purring away and playing all evening. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here.

And poppet says thank you for all your HHO vibes xx
