Blue John (left), and Flint (right), born on 7/7/26, came to Windyway along with their mother, Precious, and 3 siblings, in early August. Their owner had 2 unplanned litters of kittens and was unable to cope. Mum, Precious , is a longhaired X Ragdoll cat and dad is a pure bred Ragdoll.
They are both sweet, affectionate, and playful boys who enjoy being handled. They have very long, thick coats and will need regular grooming to keep it in good condition.
In September the whole family started with upset tummies which didn't resolve after changing their diets and worming/ adding probiotics to their food.
Subsequent tests came back negative for all bacterial and parasitic causes and a second set of tests returned a positive result for Feline Coronavirus.
This is a common virus in the cat population but doesn't usually cause long term issues so is not usually treated. However as the kittens' tummies weren't getting any better the vets agreed to use the new treatment for the virus.
They all received the treatment and follow up samples have now returned negative results.
The upset tummies are almost fully resolved and the kittens are all growing really well and are clinically well so they are transitioning to regular kitten food at the moment with promising results so far.
BJ and Flint have now been chipped and completed their vaccinations.
The adoption fee will include a voucher for them to be neutered at Bollington vets when they're ready.
