 | |  | | lol That *is* a good tip  I think having a good vet that can help you through check-ups and vaccinations is very important (especially if your little rescued babies come to you sick). Even seemingly healthy kittens should get checked for worms which, even in optimal conditions, can occur. Bloated bellies, hard bellies and really, really abnormally stinky litter boxes are signs that your little one(s) may have intestinal parasites. Deworming is relativley cheap and easy. Another good tip is to seperate your new arrivals (rescue babies or just new commers alike) from your other pets just to be safe. Most illnesses can be transmitted from cat to cat and you don't want the whole fur family getting sick! Also, because of the extra attention the new arrivals need, doting on them in front of the other pets who have seniority is probably not going to make them accept their new brother or sister any easier. It's also easier on the new arrival as well becaue being seperated gives them time to explore one new area all by themselves without the other curious pets sniffing, snarling, hissing or kissing them and potentially making them more nervous  |  |  | |  |
