EVERYONE, PLEASE WELCOME SQUASH!!
Meet Squash, our newest tiny little arrival at Kittens In The Mitten! This adorable 5-week-old baby boy is in need of some TLC, and we’re ready to give him everything he needs to feel better!
Unfortunately, Squash tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). However, 5 weeks old is far too young for an FIV test to give us a reliable answer!Kittens can carry antibodies from their mothers, which can cause a positive result even when they aren't actually infected. We’ll retest this little guy once he’s at least 12 weeks old to get a better idea of his status.
As if being so tiny wasn't enough, Squash also has an upper respiratory infection (URI), is dehydrated, and is absolutely COVERED in fleas. Poor little guy has had a rough start to life!
Our little pumpkin will be receiving fluids to help with his dehydration, antibiotics to treat his infection, and appropriate flea treatment to get those pesky parasites off him. With some medical care, a warm, safe place, and lots of love, we're hopeful this little man will be feeling much better soon!
Welcome to the KITM family, sweet Squash! Your rough start doesn't define your future, little man. You've got a whole team rooting for you!
Please help us welcome Squash and send him lots of love for a speedy recovery!
If you would like to help out towards his care it would be greatly appreciated!
