More cute kittens!

Rook's kittens

Rook was found at Rookley Country Park on the Island with her four tiny babies. We have estimated that the kittens are around 3 weeks old. Rook was very unsettled for the first few days, it can be a very stressful environment here for the cats. After a few days she began to settle down and now she seems a much happier girl.

Jenny and her babies

 

Jenny and her kittens came into the centre on Thursday after her owner sadly passed away. We immediately noticed that something wasn't quite right with one of Jenny's nipples. Due to a really bad mastitis infection she had two nasty wounds around one of her nipples. 

 

She was rushed down the the vets with the kittens. Tim the vet shaved her mammary area and gave it a really thorough clean. He advised that Jenny should have a course of antibiotic's and that we should clean the wounds twice daily with cold tea. Yes, that's right cold tea! Cold tea acts as an astringent to help cleanse the wound and prevent further infection.

We are pleased to say that since Thursday her mammary area is much improved and looks a lot less sore. The cold tea and antibiotics are obviously working well. These images were taken of Jenny's gorgeous little family earlier.
