Tia and her kittens arrived on Sunday after being rescued in Sandown. They have not had the best start and her kittens are thin and boney.
The vet has checked them over and advises that we give them top up feeds of milk. Live worms have been passed and they are now on a wormer to clear the worms.
They are extremely small for their age and could barely find the strength to eat. We were told the kittens were 11 weeks old but the black kitten weighed in at 298g when it should be weigh 1.2kg. Tia is only a youngster herself and is trying her best to look after her babies and does need our help.

This is why we appeal to the public to choose a kitten from Cats Protection to discourage people trying to breed from their cats.
