The Bundle Of Beans Diaries - Day 17 - The Last Day Of Medication

Bye bye medication

I can't even express well enough how happy we are that we can now say goodbye to the liquid medication for the Giardia parasite the kittens were "blessed" with. Man, it has been a pain to administer this to them, they absolutely hate it and I had a few times where too much came out of the syringe at once, making it even worse and them not willing to take the rest. I guess this is normal but I really don't like to force-hold them to be able to give the needed medication. so, therefore, this day is great because we now don't have to give them anymore, woohoo!

No grudges

Thankfully for us, the kittens didn't like it but also didn't hold any grudges when we had given them the meds either. Right after giving them the dose, they were open to cuddling and we gave them a bit of wet food after so they could at least get rid of the taste. The wet food was ok again once the poop started to get back to normal.

Fingers crossed

Tomorrow I will need to give a sample of the poop to the vet and when it comes back negative (I'm sure it will) then the babies are ready to move on to their next home. I'm actually pretty sad about them leaving and we will miss all of them so much. I hope we will stay updated about their ventures with the new families.

New kitten waiting

It seems there's another baby waiting for a foster home. One of the volunteers found her under a small building at the carwash today and we were there when she got rescued in the evening as I said let's wash the car and then we can also check if the kitten is already rescued or not. She was meowing and I sent an app to the volunteer, she came right away and there she was, the kitten in the trap. She asked us if we wanted to come with her and another volunteer to get her out of the trap into the carrier.

First time rescue

We decided to go as my boyfriend was still washing the car anyway. It was next to the carwash and we entered the building and then the patio where there was a bathroom, used for the tennis court. A good place to make sure she didn't get hurt (or the volunteers of course) while transferring her into the carrier. I told her that we'd like to foster the kitten as the others would soon leave but that we'd need a few days to get everything sorted at home and well-cleaned like the pillow and the playpen and scratching post.

We took pictures and then said goodbye to the kitten. She went with one of the volunteers and I told the person arranging the foster places that we'd like to foster her and possibly adopt her. We could not adopt any of the previous kittens because they were all taken, now we could get to know the kitten and see if she's our match, or not.

Knowing that there was another one waiting for us slightly made it less sad that this was probably the very last evening with the four kittens left in our home. We did some extra rounds of cuddles, obviously! And we took MANY pictures!
