rough kitten season so far.

So the Zelda kittens finally got big enough to all get fixed and return to the shelter for adoption.  However, some random and puzzling skin issues have enough in common with ringworm that we decided to play it safe and quarantine them for treatment.  3 days after their spays, the boss calls me on my day off to tell me Fi, the runt, has crashed and is in need of immediate critical care.  I drive in a pick her up.  I keep her alive for another day and a half, but she died at home.  Sonic is finally sorta weaned.  She will eat canned food out of a bowl and drink water.  However, she will not eat dry food, has absolutely no idea what a litter box is for, and still weighs less than a pound.  Of her two sisters, one is reasonably plump, eats dry and canned food well, and uses the litter box properly.  The other one... well, she uses the litter box...  but I still have to syringe feed her and occasionally give her subQ fluids.  Her and Sonic also both have reoccurring respiratory infections and are repeatedly on and off medication.

The best news of the day... Siouxsie Sioux FINALLY got adopted!!
