What a sweetheart, you are so good to take care of these babies Walleye Mar 28 #1

I really think Ruff Ruff came to me for help Siwsan Mar 28 #3

I think you are known in the neighborhood as a kind soul Walleye Mar 28 #11

I would take him to vet. Just because they recommend putting him, down does not mean you have to allow it! SheltieLover Mar 28 #2

I know the vet wouldn't be surprised. Siwsan Mar 28 #6

Maybe a vet visit would be a good thing. Ocelot II Mar 28 #4

Ive bathed hundreds of feral kittens. Its not hard. Just get a firm scruff on it Karadeniz Mar 28 #8

I wouldnt stress him that way while he is ill. It lowers immune system SheltieLover Mar 28 #10

I might see if I can put his/her back paws in to a warm tub of water and get the whole tail section cleaned. Siwsan Mar 28 #13

That's a good idea! SheltieLover Mar 28 #14

Cats hate standing in water. The recommended way is to put them in a well-drained tub and ladle the water over them. eppur_se_muova Mar 29 #15

Of course Ruff Ruff came to you! If there is any possibility of saving niyad Mar 28 #12
