The Individual Care Plan will be emailed to you when you confirm that you have collected your foster kittens/cats and they are in your care.

Flea and Worms

You are required to treat your kittens for Fleas and Worms while in foster care. If you notice evidence of live fleas, please contact your Coordinator and seek advice. Do not administer flea treatment to your kittens as incorrect dosage can be fatal in young kittens.

After treating kittens or cats with worm tablets, you may see dead worms in their stools post worming and this is quite normal. Your kitten may not have been wormed prior to collection and signs of worm presence may include:

  • A pot belly

  • Poor coat condition

  • Blood or mucus in the stool

  • Pooing or vomiting live worms

If your kittens show the above signs please contact us for instruction.
