Cat Poop

If you have any questions at all, please contact the foster department directly. Other KHS phone numbers, emails, or departments are unable to help with any foster concerns. 

Contacting other departments will delay you getting answers and delay your animal getting care.

Our contact info can be found at the bottom of every page on this site and in our signature in every email you receive.

Thank you so much for your cooperation with this important policy.

The Importance of Treating Diarrhea

Diarrhea in kittens should not be taken lightly or ignored. Some bouts of diarrhea will resolve with time and supportive care, but severe diarrhea, or mild diarrhea lasting more than a few days, requires medical attention. If left unaddressed, diarrhea in kittens can cause dehydration, hypothermia, lethargy, hypoglycemia, and can even lead to death.

Treatment and Follow Up

We will have you bring in a stool sample (and likely the cat as well) for us to check. Our vet staff will prescribe meds to treat the diarrhea.
