READ STORY BELOW: Many people have seen our Gravy Baby reels on Instagram and TikTok but we haven’t really talked a lot about his health concerns. He may look healthy in his all of the videos and photos we have posted; however, these are showing how he is doing on his good days and now it is time to share some about his issues. We are asking for help to figure out what is happening to his sinuses. Gravy Baby was surrendered to us at one of our adoption events on November 26th. From the first day, he had watery eyes and a leaky nose, which is not uncommon when intaking a new kitty that has been outside exposed to the elements of nature. As a team, we went back to where he was found and caught his sisters, Harvest, Stuffing and Cornucopia (who are almost ready for adoption) and TNR'd his parents back to their colony where they are thriving. Unfortunately, shortly after receiving Gravy, we realized something was wrong, much more than the usual upper respiratory infection we tend to see kittens come into the rescue with. Gravy wasn’t gaining weight like his sisters and the right side of his nose constantly leaked a bit of fluid and blood. Of course, we got him into the veterinarian to be examined. They ran bloodwork and took a fecal sample. They listened to his chest, lungs and heart and said he seemed fine. Bloodwork was stellar. His fecal was clear as he has already been dewormed previously. The vet said it could be feline herpes so we got him on a lysine supplement, tobramycin/cerenia nose drops and started him on famciclovir as well as clavamox, which is a full spectrum antibiotic, as instructed. He took everything they could throw at him like a champ! When the pills were all done, we brought him in again and the leaky nose with bloody fluid persisted. They did more labs and, officially, diagnosed him with feline herpes (no biggie) and sent us on our way with instructions to continue nose drops and lysine, change antibiotics from clav to clindamycin and start proviable, a probiotic for gut health since antibiotics can affect his gut. They also put him on pain meds just in case his sinuses were painful to him. Continued below… created by Savinglivycatrescue with WILLIS's I Think I Like When It Rains

POV: adopters keep calling to return their cats after they’ve become adults. I am really so sick and tired of having a problem with adopters returning. Most times, there is nothing even wrong with the cat to begin with but more so, the human who brought them home and promised them a furever home. It’s upsetting because when you finally think that your work is said and done, the years flyby and then your baby ends up back in your arms and back at your house and you realize that the person you thought who committed themselves to giving them a family, has failed them just like people failed them before we found them. Back to the drawing table with a bunch of babies that have been returned in the last few weeks to see if we can find their true furever home and family. Please don’t adopt if there’s a possibility you’re going to return them. Just foster or volunteer instead. . . . #fostercare #fostermom #kittygram #catreels #fosterkittensofinstagram #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #catsoftiktok #kittensoftiktok #kittenreels #adoptdontshop #weeklyfluff #bestmeow #catlovers #instacat #cutepetclub #rescueanimals #rescue #meow created by Savinglivycatrescue with Savinglivycatrescue's original sound

Happy national black cat day from Livy, the kitty who started it all. Without her, we wouldn’t be here. @savinglivycatrescue There are so many black cats that we’ve been able to save together as a team because of Livy. Today, we are all happy to celebrate the beautiful kitties that have come before and the ones that’ll come after. We will be highlighting all of our adoptable black cats on our Instagram stories and on our Facebook page. Despite being national black cat day, we are also starting Tabby Thursdays! Two weeks ago, we began doing Wishlist Weekend and this week we started up Tuxedo Tuesdays. We are going to continue the trend like before sharing all of the tabbies we have available, please make sure to check out the incredibly, spooktastic black babes we’ve got seeking furever homes. . . . #fostercare #fostermom #kittygram #catreels #fosterkittensofinstagram #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #catsoftiktok #kittensoftiktok #kittenreels #adoptdontshop #weeklyfluff #bestmeow #catlovers #instacat #cutepetclub #rescueanimals #rescue #meow created by Savinglivycatrescue with Blues Trip's My Mistletoe
