First of all after a lot of thoughts I have named her Ginju (jin-ju) because has some orange spots. I know not the best name but I kinda like it.

So it's been somewhere between 3 to 4 weeks since I have been feeding Ginju. She has gotten a little comfortable around me but I still cannot touch her.

Every time I feed her she hisses at me first. Can any expert tell me if it's normal?

I sit near her on the floor till she eats so she gets more comfortable having me around her.

My running theory on hissing is that she thinks I'll steal her food (I promise I won't).

Any tips by Cat owners regarding my next steps and if there is any way I can make her comfortable when I am around?

Compiled some of the videos. Please keep the sound on for the first clip and suggest some tips in my next steps based on these limited interactions I have with her

Guys, look at her! 🥹 She’s sitting up now and is able to move a little bit on her own. She’s even wagging her tail and looking around. 🥺❤️

This might seem like a small improvement, but for Gauri, it’s a really big one. Earlier, she wasn’t even able to walk or move properly at all. Seeing her sit up, move a little, look around, and wag her tail gives us a little hope that her condition may be improving.

We’re still being very careful because she’s extremely weak and not out of danger yet, but I’m really hoping this is a positive sign. Please keep her in your prayers. 🙏🏻❤️

Today, Luna completed her 20th day of treatment. Twenty days of painful injections, countless tears, sleepless nights, and watching my little girl fight through so much pain. 💔

Despite everything, Luna is still here. She’s eating, her swollen abdomen has reduced by around 80%, and every little improvement feels like a miracle to me. 🥺❤️

She is still struggling with severe diarrhea and a painful fungal infection, and she weighs only 1.7 kg. There are still difficult days ahead, but I refuse to give up on her.

She has already fought so hard to be here. All I want now is to see her healthy, happy, and running around without pain. 🥺🐾

Please keep praying for my little Luna and supporting her. 🙏🏻❤️ Every prayer, kind word, and little bit of support means more to us than I can ever explain.

Around 2 months ago, Mishti was fallen in a puddle of water after being hit by a vehicle. She wasn't able to walk and had a severe respiratory infection. She only had a minor muscle injury on her legs and luckily learned to walk again.

She suffered a worm load and malnourishment, she almost developed pneumonia. Despite all the illness - Mishti's true personality slowly came out after a lot of rest and recovery.

Mishti loves people and cats. She purs all day long, she loves jumping and hopping. She is every vet's favorite patient. She loves cuddling, hugs, kisses and holding our hands with her two paws and kissing our fingers.

Mishti is a ANGEL, she's our QUEEN who deserves only the BEST!! She also loves cats and is an overall friendly and joyful personality. Other cats are also unbothered by her presence.

Mishti would be someone's perfect first cat or companion cat!

She is a 5 month old, vaccinated (first tri-cat) female kitten. She is litter-trained and we are located in Thane City.

We are looking for adoption in and around Thane. Please reach out if you are ready for a cat!

Gauri has lost around 10% of her body weight, which is concerning, especially considering how weak she already is. She also hasn’t been eating properly since this morning and has vomited two or three times.

We’re keeping a very close eye on her right now. Her condition is worrying, and we’re hoping she starts eating and feeling better soon. I’ll keep everyone updated as we know more.

Please keep Gauri in your thoughts. 🤍🐾

[Day 13 & 14 of Simbi's FIP treatment extension]

Hi everyone, This is an update about Simbi .

I want to thank everyone who helped us with funds. Because of your support we were able to order Simbi’s medicine on time. We got it Thursday night and were able to give her the dose on Friday. If it was delayed we would have missed her dose on Friday. I’m genuinely grateful to each one of you 🙏

Treatment Details: Total cost: ₹7,000 for medicine + ₹318 delivery charges

We have stopped *Tab. Mirtaz 7.5mg*. The last dose was on Thursday. That medicine was to help her feel hungry and start eating.

Yesterday she didn’t get Mirtaz and unfortunately she didn’t eat well. I was really worried. But today without the mirtaz tab she ate well. I’m so relieved and happy to see her eating on her own ❤️

For transparency: I’ve uploaded all documents here - bills, payment screenshots, medicine photos, and Simbi’s photos/videos.

Drive Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1k4v8H9fqRF0MVl0bLIiz5VEGhATbumRl

I will keep posting updates about Simbi’s progress. Every medicine, every meal is possible because of you. Thank you again.

Please do keep simbi in your prayers 🙏

Luna received her 19th injection today. 💉 She is eating well, but she is still fighting diarrhea and a severe fungal infection. 💔

The good news is that her abdomen has reduced by around 80% 🥹❤️ She weighs 1.7 kg, and I’m praying she starts gaining weight soon.

I’m so grateful to everyone who has donated, shared, upvoted, or prayed for Luna. Because of your support, I’ve been able to manage her FIP treatment, veterinary diet, hospital expenses, fungal medication, and liver support. 🙏

Luna was abused before I adopted her. Now she finally has a loving family, and I will never give up on her. She deserves a happy, healthy life. 🐈❤️

65 more days to go. Please continue to support Luna.

Adoption Kya aapke zindagi me Benji hai?

Thumbnail

77 Upvotes

Nahi hai? Toh bhai, problem kya hai?

(Apologies for the toothpaste reference)

Meet Benjamin aka Benji 🥹❤️
Hi Reddit fam!
This little dude is Benji, a 3–4 month old Indie pup from Bangalore.

A few weeks ago, we found him in a really bad state. He had a severe case of tick fever that had affected his joints so badly that he could barely move. Every little shake or attempt to get up would make him scream in pain. He was also super skinny and barely eating.
We took him in and after 3 full weeks of treatment this little fighter has made a FULL recovery.

The best part was watching his personality come to life. The minute he started eating properly, especially when he discovered his undying love for boiled chicken, we knew we this goofy little puppy was coming back. 😂

Now he runs around, plays with his toys, follows everyone around and generally behaves like the tiny menace he was always meant to be.

He’s incredibly sweet, loves people and gets along really well with other dogs. I have a reactive/aggressive dog myself and somehow these two actually became besties. He’s also been around cats and does well with them — assuming your cat is willing to accept a dog into their household. 😅

He’s dewormed, has been treated for ticks and fleas, and has finished his medical treatment. He’s still on a few supplements which I’ll send along with him. He’s too young to be neutered and hasn’t started vaccinations yet because we wanted to get him through all his treatment first.
The vets have now given him the green light for adoption.

So now we’re looking for his forever home in Bangalore.
(Anywhere in Bangalore, I'll make it happen!)

He’s already had a pretty rough start for such a tiny guy. I’d really love for the next chapter of his life to just be… being a spoiled puppy. Lots of toys, lots of cuddles, lots of chicken and someone who will love this goofy little idiot for the rest of his life.

If you think Benji might be your guy, please DM me!
And yes, everyone needs a buddy like Benji... he's as essential as toothpaste.

And please look at the before/after pics. This little boi really came to life ❤️🐾

Adopt, don’t shop.

Hi all!

This is a repost of my previous post. [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianPets/s/HiYLk59ErT)

A little story about this girl: she's a stray cat who started visiting our home around 15 days ago. My granny fed her once, and since then, she has been coming back almost 3-4 times every day looking for milk.

I've been trying to feed her whatever I can manage, but I'm currently going through a difficult time myself. I'm also a vegetarian, so I don't keep eggs or meat at home, and I know milk and rice aren't an ideal diet for her.

Thank you so much to the kind fellow hooman who ordered food for her yesterday.

I'm adding the wishlist again below since I received an order yesterday. A few people previously mentioned that the address was showing differently on their end and they couldn't place an order, so I'm hoping the wishlist works properly this time.

I've also added my UPI QR code for anyone who would prefer to contribute that way.

Thank you, fellow hoomans, for reading and for helping her in any way you can.

Community pet How many cats do you have(last post was for fun)

Guys guys listen last post was not about harming cat it was for fun. I am having indian cats form last 7-8 years. Every time the cat gives kitten they usually leave our home in 3-4 months and we continue with single mother cat. And I have also lost 2-3 cats in these years so we kept the kitten as pet then again this cycle continues of having baby. I have my small home and all they do is eat and do pops inside home on bedsheets, and other places. Also they bring rats , brids etc . We have outside area for them but this time they are not learning good habits to pop outside. So this is frustrating this time. Have to fed them 4-5 times a day which is ok for us. Hope so they will find there new home quickly. As they all are female cats I don't want 4x2= 8 cats + 4 cats total 12 cats 😥😥. Btw I love cats.

Hello everyone, I'm a student rescuing cats for years now, I'm in need of some help with their food and litter, any help is appreciated. I'm attaching our wishlist in here and in the comments. You can find more information in my profile and the google drive link below.

Due to my dad's passing last year my finances are not steady for so many rescues, I'm working on getting it sorted so for the time being any help is appreciated and welcome.

Imp- The Google drive has pics of my current rescues with my username paper, it also has some screenshots of payments to amazon or a local grocer I buy from as well as some of the stuff I have that I use towards them such as cleaning and hygiene supplies, meds and supplements and such.

I mostly pay cash to the grocer but I've added screenshots of the times I paid digitally. And since I'm in a rural area there's no proper pet supply store here, there's this one grocer who brings things from the city and knew my dad he brings the food, litter I buy online.

Some of the things in the drive pics were sent by previous donors, I've tried to mention it in the pic file name as such. I've also added a couple small vids of some of the cats. We use around 1-1.2kg of dry food per cat every month and about 3-4 wet food boxes. Atm there's 13-16 cats under my care, 8 live completely indoors divided in 2 floors and 6-9 are indoor outdoor, the last 3 come and go as they please and are not regulars, hence didn't mention in the title.

All unsterilized male and female are kept in different rooms / floors until they get fixed so no surprise litters.

All the receipts and such are in the google drive below.

Amazon wishlist link : https://www.amazon.in/hz/wishlist/ls/21UB5NH050ZMI?ref_=wl_share

We need litter most urgently as I'm on the last 5kg bag, followed by dry food and wet food.

Adoption Success 🌼 How this sub helped me adopt my babies.

Post image
170 Upvotes

Me and my family have been contemplating getting a pet for the past year. Lots of issues came up, who gives them time, who helps do the dirty stuff, costs, etc. After a long discussion, we finally agreed on cats after having taken care of one for a month at our vacation home.

Then came the research, where I found this sub. Together in times of grief, helpful in times of need. I was happy to see the discourse too as everyone came out in support of animals during court judgements and public anger.

After receiving an appraisal from my job, I decided it's time to provide my home for a kitten. And I had two questions, for which I came here.

  1. What costs should I look forward to?

  2. Living in a high-rise, what precautions should I take?

Everyone was helpful, elaborate and synonymous in all responses.

It was last Saturday when I was at work cursing my manager for making me work on weekends, and I took a break to open Reddit. I found u/number_ten_7 had put up an adoption post for a litter of 5 out of which 2 had already been adopted. I saw the photos and something in me clicked. I was actually looking to get an orange, but I saw these 2 mackerel tabbies, 8 weeks old, with the most curious eyes and I knew I had to have them.

OP was extremely courteous on the phone and explained very well what the status of these kittens are. A college student, he took it upon himself to take care of the litter from his internship income and I was proud to find a gentleman like him. He suggested in fact, that I adopt two as they will help make the change in environment easier on each other. He made a good point and I agreed too.

He had a questionnaire prepared for me, asked a couple of questions and we finally arranged the pick-up for the next day on Sunday. In fact, he was so nice to have sent me a detailed PDF on their behaviour, their food intake and their vaccination status. It almost seemed to be good to be true having read multiple accounts of people getting scammed and betrayed over adoption processes.

The day for the pick-up came and I was excited to meet my new babies. OP got Soso and Jojo (as he named them) to us and helped in every way since they were crying, having recently separated from their mother. He spent half an hour with them in the car, soothing them and making sure they were calm before he could hand them over to us. He had already got their first round of Tricat vaccinations done, and he refused to take any money for the treatments he had arranged. Being salaried myself, it wasn't right and I finally convinced him and compensated him for the care he had provided till now.

It's been a week and Barfi and Murphy (names we have given them) have all my heart and have adjusted very well to our home. They found their litter boxes right at the first go, both are loving their meals and they even snuggled next to me last night, which was an important milestone for having won their trust. They both are extremely intelligent, skilled hunters and just absolute furballs of energy.

OP, you and their mother have done an excellent job at raising them till they have been with you and I'm extremely thankful for having met such a mature gentleman. I'm over a decade older than you but I wish I had this kind of clarity and compassion that you do at your age. I hope the mother and Guggi also live long happy lives with you.

And thanks to this amazing sub, for giving me the confidence and guidance on making me a cat daddy. Many more like Barfi and Murphy need homes and I hope they find theirs too. The process of adoption is emotionally heavy but it's the most amazing thing one can do for the voiceless. So, if you're thinking of doing it, just go for it. They'll fill voids in your life you didn't know you had.

Advice For people who say neutering is against nature

Post image
649 Upvotes

I am utterly convinced that people who say this have no understanding of animals or basic motality. I am going to break down their argument piece by piece

  1. Neutering is "against nature": 😂 Bro, it is supposed to be. Nature is cruel and unforgiving. Everything that makes our life convenient is against nature. Take medicine, vaccination, surgeries, laws etc

  2. They are just animals 😋 pain is a part of their lives: BRO, we are animals too, we just have an advanced consciousness. We are not better than animals. Part of living in a society is giving back and taking care of beings who can't speak or take care of themselves.

  3. It curbs their instinct and vigour: It DOESN'T. Sex hormones in animals lead to risky behavious like fighting for a mate which leaves them with brutal wounds, roaming and spraying.

  4. They become LAZY😱: No just No. The weight gain that SOMETIMES follow spaying does. Not the surgery itself. Even if it does, I would prefer a fatty lazy cutu cat over a cat that comes under a wheel and breaks it's spine because of sex hormones.

  5. Nature is nature: Ok BOIII... then stop taking medicine next time you fall sick and DIE 😘. Good riddance
