Kitten Lady, I got your book! We foster kittens, and find your videos sooo helpful! ❤️🐱❤️
Hi, in the UK this virus is pronounced Kal-ee-chi.
I never knew that this was not well known outside shelter medicine. The first thing our shelter vets do if a kitten is limping is check for a temp/calici.
The one day I was bringing my cat to my private vet. I apologized for being a few minutes late and told them that I had woken up to limping foster kittens and since calici had been going around the shelter, the shelter vets wanted to check them for limping kitten syndrome asap.
The vet and techs were very curious and had never seen calici cause limping in kittens. So when I returned to pick up my cat, they were thrilled that I brought info from the shelter vet on limping kitten and calici. 🙂

🦋🐈 What an amazing person. The world is a much better place because of you. 💜
The sound of the kittens purring just make me smile every time.
Same, its so soothing!
Sure the sound may be melodic and all but if you knew the various meanings behind why they purr, you'll feel awful for enjoying it in the first place.
Zshock soda I’m only concern about the purrs they make when they’re happy in this video because hearing them make any noise when they’re in pain or uncomfortable are not soothing, despite what you might think. Just like everyone else when I hear those noises I want to see how I can help to make them comfortable and happy, I grew up around cats I know the various noises they make I might not be expert but at least I have an understanding so they won’t be in pain or uncomfortable. I’ve done my research behind cats purrs
I wish hearing their purrs would heal me as it heals them
Emily Garcia according to research, hearing a cat purr is good for the health :)
One of my litters came down with this last year and it was exactly as you said: "What's the matter, buddy? did you hurt yourself? wait, why are you so hot? hang on, why is your SISTER limping too?!" That was also when their ulcers appeared, so there was the added bonus of, "OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR MOUTH?!?!" - it was the first time I'd seen the virus in action and it scared the socks off me. It took quite a bit of extra work both on my part and that of our rescue's medical coordinator, but all four in the litter made a full recovery in about a week and it was SO worth it to see them bouncing back.
I absolutely LOVE you for what you are doing! TY for loving kittens so much!
Jenn 🇨🇦
You are amazing❤️❤️
how long did the fever last?
Tama G Did you take them to the vet? I’m just noticed my kitten doing this tonight and he feels warm and was shaking. Should Intake her to the vet or will it pass on its own?
I wish I knew that a year ago... one of my foster kitten had these symptoms and the lady running the shelter kept telling me it was only the fever due to the vaccine, and that there was no need to take him to a vet. When we finally rushed the kitten to the hospital without her autorisation, it was too late and he died 3 hours later. And this lady keeps telling us it's our fault, that doesn't help. Thanks hannah you're essential
Please don't blame yourself for your foster kitten's death. It's a sad fact people who run animal shelters make mistake. Now, you know what limping calic is and how best to treat it. You'll save many lives in the future!
she absolutely should not be working in any capacity with animals if that's the case. especially seeing as she seemed to know what was going on. it's not you're fault, it's hers. i'm sorry she put you through that.
Had no idea this was a thing. Quite scary looking symptoms! Thank you for the info, have never come across it here (yet) but one of my last fosters got panleukopenia and I remembered one of your older vids about it, and went back and watched it. It got me through it (along with excellent help from my vet, who is kind of a saint with this sort of thing) and my foster kittens, so I'm always grateful for this info. You're a lifesaver. Literally!
I'm SO PROUD OF YOU for getting a foster through panleuk! It's a terrifying ride. You are awesome!
When I foster kittens in the future this is gonna help a whole hecc of a lot
Same!
I’ve been a veterinarian for 20 years, working emergency for nearly 17 years, but I just keep learning more and more from you! Thank you for your great educational material on kitten health and husbandry!
Hi Janice, are you still a practicing veterinarian? I have an almost 3 month old kitten going through this and cannot get a vet to take it seriously! I have followed the steps in the video but I feel like I need to do more! I also cannot seem to get them to give her an anti inflammatory. We are on day 3 so I am praying she kicks it soon.
please help me. I have five kittens without mom. One was beaten by a feral male cat outside. After that it is limping. Please suggest me what to do. I cant see it in that condition
I had to show my vet your video. He never saw this in his practice.
I'm so glad you help kittens! We need more people in the world like you!
Ikr. I wish there were more people who rescued or did TNR.
Wow you understand me. 😀
Instead of saying there should be more, you should help and save some kittens yourself. There's definitely something you can do.
@@smilte8125 My cat was a rescue kitten! :)
There is but only so much to help thousands of kittens
The ending! There’s nothing more soothing and relaxing than listening to kittens purr
Hey guys, instead of just saying “I wish there were more people in the world like you!! ❤️❤️” take action yourself!! Do TNR, foster some kittens, or even just spread the word about kitten lady. ❤️❤️❤️ you are amazing Hannah!! I’ve started trapping the cats around my area and vaccinating/neutering them and then returning them. I’ve also asked my parents about fostering neonatal kittens and they said we have to start with the older ones, and maybe work out way up to the little ones. We’re going to pick up our first foster kitty in a few months, I cannot wait!! ❤️❤️ I’m also going to see Kitten Lady on tour soon, and I can’t wait for that either!!
❤❤❤
Yes u to
I've helped with TNR and kitten round up in my neighborhood when we noticed a kitten boom but I'm unable to foster due to not having an extra room. In my area, you have to have a designated room for kittens/cats. They have to be separated from my own cats. Maybe after my kids move out, might be something for me to do during my older years.
We have 2 rescue cats! Theyve lived long healthy lives, their 18 and 17 and the vets say their healthy which is unbelievable 😂 And we also have a rescue dog, hes 4
@Lilly Poole
Just because people admire Hannah but don't toot their own horn doesn't mean they're not doing what they can to help. Some people are poor financially, or live in a situation where they are unable to take in cats to foster. Some people can only volunteer their time to help out at shelters or spend time with fosters at other people's homes. Every little bit helps. ❤
My baby girl, my heart, now long-gone (after a long and healthy, very very loved life) Snowflake, had limping calici. She had to have fever reducing injections every night for two weeks... Happily she recovered completely and went on to be the Love of My Life. Thank you for posting about this little known syndrome. RIP my precious Snowflake (she was an Old Lady 😻).
How's your cat recover? By herself?
Khyles Tulabot yes, she made a full recovery after about two weeks 😊
😮😢💔 it's never easy when they go...but the joyful memories of you love you felt and bond you had, is always there when you close your eyes. ❤❤❤❤
So glad you posted this. It would have been scary before this knowledge.
I have owned cats my whole life, and have heard of this..omg, if one of my cats ever had this, I would have been useless! Thank you so much for this much needed information. So happy to see them all better!
It was wonderful to hear them purring when they felt better at the end.
I don’t even have cats.. but I just love seeing the adorable kitties that you foster
Thanks for telling us about this diseases
Thank you for this video - lots of great information. One other tip I use when looking after sick animals is always take care of the least sick, moat vulnerable animals first (IE healthy babies) and work my way through to the ones that are sick - it helps reduce the spread of infection :):)
Great tip I wish I had included in the video, thanks! Yes, anytime we have multiple litters we will work with any infectious cats last.
I am so glad to see that you feed them meat even though you are a vegan. I have problems with people who try to feed carnivores a plant based diet claiming it is healthy for them.
There's no way those vegans own cats then because the cat will be dead in a week.
@@hanimallover1 honestly, they should really just get herbivores. If it troubles them to give meat to cats, dogs etc, then they should get an animal they will be more comfortable caring for.
@@fairyonice9504 i mean it takes a special kind of idiot to force an herbivorous diet on a carnivore. they wouldnt think to do something as simple as that.
@@hanimallover1 I have certainly heard of vegans who will do this, feeding carnivores plant diets. I've also heard of vegans who think owning *any* animal is cruelty. You know, the dog or cat that loves to greet you when you come home, cries when you leave, becomes depressed when you go on vacation, whines to get in your bedroom, snuggles with you as you sleep, leans into you when you scratch that spot behind their ears...that's cruelty to these people 🙄. There's a thousand and one reasons why juat letting all the cats and dogs people own out into the wild is a horrible idea but explaining that to these people is like talking to a brick wall.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley well theres different opinions everywhere, but thats certainly not most or all vegans. luckily thats a minority thats not doing harm to others and just has a shit opinion.
I had a kitten who had this happen to him. It was the scariest 36 hours! He started with runny eyes and nose a few days after his vaccinations and then he started limping and refused to walk. After a few trips to the vet for some sub-q fluids and meds to help with the fever he was more comfortable and slept it off.
Absolutely, it's short-lived but absolutely terrifying! So glad your kitten improved.
KITTEN LADY YOU ARE ONE OF MY HEROS!
These kittens meow so cute!!!
Every time I heard "limping calici", I imagined a limping Daenerys ^^'
It’s amazing that people like you are hear to help these little babies 😊
I have to thank you a hundred, thousand times for this video! My kitten developed fever and then limping just days after her first vaccination, and I took her to two emergency vets on a Saturday and none of them knew what was wrong. I felt soooo so relieved after seeing this video! I'm in the UK and they said they have never witnessed this happening. A huge kudos to you and Bless You!
Kittens licking baby food from a spoon with their eyes closed: precious! Thank you for this video, KL, without this info, some people may panic or not want the kitten(s)
Im addicted to watching this channel😣
that's a good thing!
😄😄
Thank you for loving and caring for them
Omg this is so scary but so incredible that you’re able to save and help all these kitties. What an incredible woman you are ❤️
Poor kittens there very lucky to have the Kitten lady to look after them so well. Your Awesome Kitten Lady
Breaks my hear seeing them limping, bless them! Thank you very much, it is so helpful that you upload videos with common kitten illnesses, so we know what symptoms to look for and not panic.
you are always the voice of calm with the sick kittens. They love you and trust you so much. To see them purring is just wonderful. You are a kitties best friend!!
You are so calm, reassuring and knowledgeable, Hannah.
This happened to my foster kittens as well!! The shelter and my vet didn't know what it was. I will share this with them. They started getting symptoms 4 days after dewormer or vaccinations🤔. The vet gave them an antibiotic shot because they thought it was an infection. All 3 made it through and where adopted😻 Thank you for giving me a name for it! What a relief it wasn't something I did😅 I've learned so much from all the videos! Thank you thank you!!!
how long did it last on them and did they have fever?
Thank you for the great information on this and so happy to see those two babies doing better, hearing their purrs makes all of the hard work worth it!
I’m so glad you made this video, my kitten had every symptom to the point of being hypoglycaemic, he was admitted to a vet who had no clue what it was and he ended up passing away :( I wish I had known about this then!
Poor babies! 😢 seeing them limping and sick just BROKE MY HEART! I’m so glad they have you to take care of them! That must be so scary for people who go through it, it’s great you made the video to help them and spread awareness!
Thank you for being a warrior for the kittens. This information is really vital! You empower the foster parents of the world.
I had never heard of this; I’m so glad you informed us. It would scare the dickens out of me to see it and not have some idea of what’s happening. Thank you.
This video saved my 7 week old kitten Graysons life. His vet had no idea what he had, she thought he had meningitis and told us he was going to die. I refused to accept we were going to lose him, so I began to scour the internet for answers. Because of this video I was able to care for him at home, I can't thank you enough. 💖
That tabby kitten you have in your Instagram story is too precious when he was purring!
Thank you kitten lady for you and all you do for these kitters.
I can’t thank you enough for posting this video. You literally saved my kitten’s life because our vet has never heard of this and was coming up with other bizarre explanations as to why my 12-week-old healthy kitten suddenly could not walk, and spiked a 105-fever this past week. I found your video by Googling her symptoms. By following your advice and being my 3-lb kitten’s advocate - thanks to the info you provided - she is now recovering! :)
I love your channel and advice. As a scientist it’s so sound the information you give. Straight forward, compassionate and informative. Any kitten with you is in good hands and one day when I’m not so busy I hope to be a more hands on kitten rescuer like you.
This happened to my kitten 15 years ago when she was 7 weeks old but the vet never said what it was called. Now I know the actual name. Thanks Hannah.
This is vital information for all foster and paw parents. Thank you for making this video Hannah.
Its beautiful to see how much they trust you. Your an awesome mom
Your amazing kittens need people like you in this world!❤️🥺
I always learn so much from your channel. I had never even heard of this disease, let alone knew what the signs and symptoms were. Videos like these are vital to helping people look after their cats and kittens. Fantastic educational, informative, and entertaining video where a serious, life threatening disease, is broken down into understandable little parcels of info that anyone can understand. Great video.
I just sent this excellent video to my friend who has fostered kittens for years. My two young kittens got this limping Calici and I am so thankful I subscribe to your videos because I was so scared and even though I had raised numerous kittens had never even heard of this! Most of the videos I have seen since on this are all gloom and doom. Because of you one kitten has pulled through and the other is going to also pull through. As you said at the end Hannah this does not need to be a death sentence. Thanks For Everything that you do for these precious babies 💖🙏🏼
this video saved my sanity. my boyfriend and i are first time kitten owners and did not know what was wrong with our poor girl when she started limping & then proceeded to run a high fever a few days after getting the fvrcp vaccine. we took her to the vet.. they weren’t sure what was wrong and had never heard of limping calici, but helped us bring her fever down and prescribed something for the pain. after a couple days, our girl is starting to feel much better! thank you so much!
I have my first group of foster kittens. Three five-week-old sisters. To prepare for their arrival I watched as many videos of yours as I could, including this one. We got the kittens five days ago and they haven't been putting on weight consistently. They have been acting okay until today when they got lethargic and I thought they might have a fever (although it's impossible to get a thermometer these days!). But when my husband saw one of them, and then two of them, limping slightly, I ran right back here to rewatch this. We're giving fluids and hand feeding and started clavamox at the direction of the rescue but our kittens seem (so far) to have a less severe case than the ones in your videos. We're doing our best and hoping desperately for a positive outcome! This information is invaluable and literally might save their lives since I knew to take the symptoms very seriously right away. Thank you!
I am a cat caregiver, and your vids are so helpful. My 2 month olds developed calici, and I watched your help twice just to make sure I'm doing this right.
I also plan on getting your book as soon as I can
idk what it was, but i had such a reaction to these two. i saw them and instantly started crying. they seem so sweet and lovely.
Thank you for this informative video! I'm glad this condition has a name, but not glad this exists. My 3 girls each went through this last winter, February to be exact. They were 3 months old at the time and believe me, I had no idea what happened. I thought they injured themselves playing as they were typical rambunctious 3 month old kittens. They recovered in about 3 days, which was a great relief.
You are so knowledgeable about small kittens. Great teacher for the rest of us, thanks for your info and your love and kindness towards kittens 😸
Happy Hump Day Hannah.
Thanks for the really good explanation of what happened to these two cuties pies.
I must chat this up with the lady that I know who fosters here where I live. I don't ever remember her telling me this happened for her.
I love that you’re able to take care of kittens/cats this well in wherever you live (USA?). Not many people, even in Canada, can take care of their cats or animals in general this well.
Honestly your videos are so educational! My 2 month old kitten came to me this morning limping and I had such a fright! Despite popular belief, I googled this which isn't always a good idea and rushed to the vet. Bear in mind this is a famous vet in the UK, he had no clue about the vaccination doing this to kittens and to his astonishment, he learnt that this is one of the side effects. Now he knows the signs and can diagnose this on another pets so I'm so glad that google search and this video will help other cat owners!
I do TNR with my local animal shelter! My feral and tame cats are like my children! I see you feel the same way I do! Bless you Kiiten Lady, for all the amazing work you do and for all these little lives you save! You are kind and generous spirit! 👍👏💯💞💗💕🐱🙏🏻
It's to nice to see someone who does something like TNR and helps out cats💖 Sending love to you and your shelter.
I have an 10 week old kitten pretty much identical to the small white cats in this video. Four days ago he got his first vaccine and yesterday started to have difficulties with his left leg and felt very warm. I came across your video and what you were saying sounded exactly like what my cats symptoms were so I took him straight to the Vet where the Vet confirmed that he had a low fever and treated him accordingly. Thank you very much for your video it really helped my cat and now he’s back at home purring away.
I love that u help kittens. The world needs more people like u love what u do keep being a kind caring loving bc person
It really does! I hope one day I can be like Kitten Lady and help out kittens!
Out of all the videos on this and kittens, you are the best!!! Thank you for all you do 😻
Wow! I worked in a vet clinic and I never heard of this! Thank you!!
This came at the right time. My adult cat started limping and it freaked me out, and it was right after he got his vaccines. (Hes okay now)
Yes!! My senior cat got his shots 2 weeks ago! Just today, he can barely walk!! I too was freaking out, Especially since he's 11 years old and I got him at the humane society, a year ago. Of course it's a holiday weekend and everything is closed!!
What did U do to make him okey?
@@queenyjeanie3628 hey my kitten is limping right now and everywhere is closed, what did you do?
It's 2late for me bruh
Beautiful kittens and I really love all the insight you provide. I love your channel it's so informative.
the one kitten with a dot on its lip looks just like the kitten i rescued off the street in September all my hope goes to these little guys.
Thank you so much!! I have been looking for this information for months! Even the vet couldn't figure it out for us. I cannot thank you enough. 😭❤
Thank you for all your work. Glad the babies are better.
My kitten has just experienced these same symptoms, thank you so much for this video! It is really giving me confidence in these upcoming days, thank you so much for everything you do!
Thank you so much! My kittens all had booster vaccines a few days ago & one who is particularly rambunctious has been more calm. This morning when I woke up he was limping & I thought he got hurt. After a couple of hours he was immobile, crying, not eating & had a fever of 103+. I found your video ASAP & knew that’s what it was. I was able to rush him to the vet & he’s undergoing treatment now. Thanks SO much kitten lady ❣️
Thank you so much for sharing this information! Your educational video’s are amazing. I also foster kittens for the local shelter and love watching your videos 😻.
Thank you for sharing so much information about kittens. I have learned more about cats from your work than anywhere else.
You are amazing Kitten Lady! It’s one of my life goals to start rescuing kittens now. Thank you 😊
I have two kittens that fit your description 100% and im beyond thankful i found your video because I was wondering how theyd hurt themselves
Hannah, thank you so much for making this video! It’s so helpful. You are an incredible resource 💜🌈
You are an amazingly sweet and caring lady. Thanks for sharing :)
So happy they had you, and are better now
I love your channel! Your videos are so great and I love the work that you do!
Thank you for sharing 🙂. Praise God for all your work. Continued health for you, your family and for babies
You’re so awesome and so inspirational!
*This channel is just ACE, thank you SO very much* 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
Thanks for educating us yet again, and sharing kitten cuteness, these guys are so scruffy.
Thank you so much for this video. You are my saviour. I was literally crying to see my kitten limping and all of a sudden quite and sleepy. But this helped me to educate myself alot about this virus & taking care of my kitten. ❣️
wow Hannah thx for posting this! After watching it I realized my last batch of foster babies came down with this! I had never seen the symptoms before and didn’t know what was going on. And they were a few days out from their
vaccinations, too. They all recovered well after spending a couple days at the vet being monitored and getting fluids. Now I know! 😍👍🏻
Thanks so much for this video, my kitten is having these EXACT symptoms, looks just like the ones in the videos. I did take him to the vet but even afterwards it's a relief to see your video and know they're ok.
Thank you so much for uploading this. Years later its helped calm me when I woke up to find my kitten had a limp about a week after getting his vaccine. It's not mentioned too much on youtube. After about a day and a half he wasn't limping, feverish until he got better just like you said!
Great video! I've never experienced it, but I probably will in the future and this info is extreeeeeeeemly helpful! Thanks!
I wish someone had told me about it before I first experienced it a few years ago! I was shocked. Now that I've been through it a few times it feels important to share.
The three people who disliked this don’t know what they’re talking about
Maybe, and this is just a thought. But, maybe they disliked because they disliked seeing the kittens hurting rather than a dislike of the content. RUclips doesn't allow a neutral button or other emojis like Facebook. The algorithm still counts negative responses. It's a lot more harmful to a RUclipsr for you not to respond than for you to dislike.
we got 3 kittens- and thanks to your Tiny but Mighty book we were able to tell when one of them had worms.
We wondered why she was the same size as her littermate sister but half the weight, read the symptoms and got our hands on some De-Wormer from a client at the Pet Food Bank we volunteer at
We got syringes for free from the Pharmacy in the mall nearby thank god. We gave her a dose of the de-wormer (her sister and brother as well to be safe as they're ALWAYS together) and within 2 weeks she's made noticable improvement- she's eating more, she's packed on weight, her fur is getting more sleek.
we still got one more doseage to give them in 2 weeks but prognosis looks exceedingly promising- we'd never have known FOR SURE if it was worms without your book Hannah thank god I pre-ordered it before it came out!!
My heart was in my throat until the end :(
So glad they're doing well now. Thanks for teaching us about symptom management 💕
Omg, the footage is so scary to me. Thank you for educating me on the subject! Much love to you Hannah.
Thank you kitten lady for always keeping me in the know with these informative videos God bless
What beautiful babies! I'm glad to hear they're recovering. I'd never heard of this virus before.
I'm so glad h help kitttens. We needed more people like u
Hello! My kitten developed these exact symptoms, and her fever was up to 105. As soon as I realized she had such a high fever I ran her to the emergency vet and she has been hospitalized for over 24 hours now. My vet thinks it's viral but he does not think it is limping calici because I dont think he's familiar with this iteration of the virus. I am very worried for my baby girl and this video is helping me right now. Her fever isn't coming down consistently, but the vet is monitoring her!
I am going thru the same! did you kitty get better?
This is so helpful! Thank you❤️ I have never heard of Limping Calici before.
Thank you Hannah, I was not aware of this condition.
Found my kitten limping this morning,thanks for the info, always good to make sure. I'll get him to a vet asap
I have to say, thank you, thank you, thank you. I
have been following you since my little babies were born in November. Recently I noticed PInky, my tiniest was limping. Thinking her brother may have been too rough, I took her into her normal vet.
It was then that we discovered she had a very high fever of 105.7. I rushed her to bluepearl and had her put in overnight ICU until it could get under control. PInky had never been away from home, so the stress was adding to her issues. Once her fever was in a bit of a safer range, they let me take her home where I did sub fluids at home.
Her sister and brother also had it, but Bella only had a mild fever, and Mamoru showed no symptoms at all (except for a small lip ulcer). To be honest, at first I had thought they got into detergent.
I pushed the vets to check for calici virus due to your videos. They didn't think it was it Calici at first since the kittens have no contact with the outside world.
I think Mamoru picked it up at the ASPCA, as he was neutered just 3 days earlier.
Everyones healing up well, and I have been cleaning like mad to prevent it from coming back and mutating (we have 4 cats total in the house)
It only lives on surfaces for a week
Im sure - and i hope - these kittens will get better
