Little Eric

Fighting spirit

Little Eric was found all alone, without his mum or litter mates. At only 2 days old and very hungry the situation was urgent. We are now having to take on the role of mum. Cat Carer Emily has taken Eric home with her, it's a full time job this little guy needs feeding every two hours day and night.

When he was brought into the centre yesterday we noticed that he was covered in lice. He went straight to the vets to be checked over and was treated with Frontline spray. He is now on a diet of Cimicat, a formulated kitten milk. At this stage he is being fed little and often, when he gets bigger he will be fed more but less often.

So far Little Eric has been doing very well. He has gained weight since yesterday and has been demanding milk every hour throughout the night. It is good to see that he has some fight in him. 

Hand-rearing kittens is a tiring job, but who wouldn't want to look after this little cutie? We will keep you updated on how the little guy is doing over the next week.
