Extremely Ill And Heavily Pregnant, Refusing To Eat, Getting Weaker Day By Day, She Soon Goes Into Labor!

Rescued from the streets and heavily pregnant she was handed into a local shelter where she became very sick and refused to eat. How could they save her and her kittens?

Sophia, a pretty stray Calico was taken off the streets. Heavily pregnant the young cat becomes ill only after about three days at ‘Here Kitty Kitty Rescue.’ She’s so congested she refuses to eat.

As the upper respiratory infection gets worse shelter staff try to get food into her via syringe feeding, unfortunately to no avail. Something needed to be done as she was getting weaker and her kittens needed to be saved. They needed to find a way to get them the nutrients they needed.

The vet decided the best thing to do was to bypass the congestion all together via a feeding tube. Once put in place, Sophia had to wear a little red sweater so she couldn’t pull it out. She was fed four to five times a day and gradually she got better.

However, once she was well, even though she was hungry she still refused to eat! So the feeding tube stayed in place. The vet hoped she would start eating once her litter of kittens was born.
