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.

Purrs if you look at him is good though?

Generally it's great. But birth defect with great attitude means he might get stuck here and never get on the next stop.

We'll this be a stretch if I crosspost this !dumpsterdiving@slrpnk.net?

I don't know the group so I'm not sure if it would be on topic or fringe content. I know that in the future we're going to be hitting that dump. Pretty hard to get every single cat in it. If your post does good then maybe I'll try those when I get to it.
