CATS Cradle Shelter

And Baby Makes Three Pregnant and wondering how to break the news to your kitty cat (who was there first?). Contrary to the fear that an addition to your human family may mean the loss of your feline one, there are many paws-itive ways to ease your cat’s stress, to assist her in welcoming the baby, and to ensure she remains an integral part of your soon-to-be expanded household. If your cat has been the primary focus of your loving attention and affection, minimize her “natural” feelings of displacement by working with her before you bring your newborn home. Since your baby will demand most of your time and energy, accustom your cat to this inevitability by gradually spending less time with her. If she’s especially close to you, have other family members or close friends develop a stronger bond with her. This should reassure and assuage her (consistent praise and plenty of treats are, of course, essential), and prove to her that she is still loved, still safe and still secure. To provide the smoothest of transitions, begin several months in advance by:* Bringing your cat to the vet for a routine health exam and any necessary vaccinations.* Consulting your vet and pediatrician if you’re nervous about the upcoming interactions between kitty and baby. By resolving these issues early, you’ll be putting your mind at ease.* Seeking help from an animal behavioral specialist if your cat exhibits any unusual fears and anxieties.* Redirecting all of your kitty’s “quirky” behaviors (from gentle nibbling to pouncing and swatting at you and others) to more appropriate objects.* Getting your cat used to having her nails trimmed.* Training your cat to remain calmly on the floor next to you until you invite her onto your lap – a lap that will soon cradle a newborn.* Holding a “baby” doll to help your cat get used to being close to a real baby.* Sprinkling baby powder or dabbing baby oil on your skin so that your kitty becomes familiar with these new and, hopefully, pleasant scents.* Encouraging friends with infants to visit in order to acclimatize your cat to the actual presence of babies. * Accustoming your cat to baby-related noises and actions by, for example, playing tapes of an infant crying, rocking back and forth in your rocking chair (if you have one) and turning on the mechanical infant swing (if you have one). Make these positive experiences for your kitty by offering her treats and/or playtime.* Discouraging your cat from jumping up onto the baby’s crib, changing table and other furniture by applying double-sided carpet tape to all readily accessible surfaces.* Installing a removable gate to keep the baby’s room off limits to your kitty, while still allowing her to see and hear what’s happening inside. This will prevent her from feeling isolated from the family, while growing more comfortable with the many exciting changes taking place. 🐾🐈‍⬛🐾🐈‍⬛🐾🐈‍⬛🐾Articles are written by Nomi Berger, an established author and journalist, living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who graciously volunteers her time and talent to help further our rescue efforts ...

💙🐾 THREE SPECIAL CATS, ONE AMAZING COMMUNITY! 🐾💙Meet Alveda, Officer Meow, and Roku, our diabetic dream team at Cats Cradle Shelter! 🐱💉 These sweet kitties need a little extra care, so they are currently in foster care. You all really step up when we as and once again, we could use your help keeping their food bowls full!❤️ Meet our three special needs kitties:🐾 Alveda - receives daily insulin to help manage her diabetes. 🐾 Officer Meow - came to us needing insulin, but thanks to careful monitoring and a strict diet, he is now in remission and managed with food alone!🐾 Roku - is currently taking oral medication for his diabetes while we closely monitor his sugars.We've have found that our diabetic cats have one important thing in common. Each one does their best on a strict, consistent diet of canned Fancy Feast Chicken Feast pâté which helps to manage their blood sugar levels. We go through a LOT of cans caring for so many diabetics at the same time.🛒 WANT TO HELP FILL THEIR FOOD BOWLS?We've created a Diabetic Cats Amazon Wishlist with the food they need as well as a couple other items we need to keep in stock. 🐱 Fancy Feast Chicken Feast pâté is their biggest food need!💚 Shop our Amazon Wishlist: Link in the comments!Every can makes a difference, and every donation helps us stretch our resources while still being able to give these special kitties the care they deserve.Can't donate right now? Don’t worry about it. Sharing this post helps us reach others who might be able to help!Thank you for being part of the Cats Cradle family and loving our special-needs kitties right along with us. They may need a little extra care, but they have just as much love to give! 💙🐾If you are interested in learning more about these sweeties, visit their profiles under How To Adopt on our website catscradleshelter(dot)org#CatsCradleShelter #DiabeticCats #SpecialNeedsCats #AmazonWishlist #diabeticcat #catsoftiktok #foster #donate #CommunityKindness #Fargo #ittakesavillage ...
