Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Lucy! Without examining her or seeing a picture of the wound it is hard to say. The wound alone can be painful or infected causing her to be lethargic, listless and strange. She could have gotten in to a fight, fell from a high height or even been hit by a car. The best thing for her is to be examined. I would ask your neighbors what vet they use that are inexpensive or call your local SPCA to see if they have a low cost veterinary clinic. Though it is a weekend and the SPCA clinics my not be open. I wish you the best!

Whiskas is considered a lower-quality brand, but is still nutritionally complete to give. If you're looking for a higher-end food, looking to brands that are readily available at pet stores such as Science Diet or Royal Canin are good choices. These brands offer many different varieties so you can better tailor the food to Lucy's individual needs, and some even have foods specific to certain breeds/sizes of cat. Both also carry a variety of wet and dry foods if you want to feed both, however that isn't always necessary. Feeding twice a day (once in the morning and once at night) as you are currently doing should be fine. If she seems extra hungry or is losing weight, smaller more frequent meals may also help. Your vet can also help you monitor Lucy's weight over time with the new food if you're curious to see how her weight or body condition changes.

That sounds like a good plan for the first couple of days of Lucy being home to help keep everyone safe. See the links below for more information, and congratulations on the new addition! https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=8569058 https://indoorpet.osu.edu/dogs/new_additions_dogs/intro-dog-cat

You can bring another cat into the home for Lucy, but you just need to make sure to slowly introduce them to each other. I'd also recommend getting Lucy spayed and any new cat brought into the home fixed. This will help reduce aggressive behaviors between them, and prevent unwanted litters of kittens if you bring a male cat home. I will put the method of introducing cats to each other below: I would slowly introduce them to each other. Take the kitten, and put her in her own room with her own food, water, and litter box. Keep the door closed, and for a few days, feed them both treats on other side of door so they associate each other's smell with a good experience. Then let the other cat in the kitten's room while the kitten is in a cat carrier. They can smell each other, but not be in contact. If either becomes upset or show signs of aggression, remove the second cat from the room, and try again later. Praise them when they interact appropriately. When they are interacting

Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. If Lucy seems comfortable, is caring well for the kittens, & you do not see her pushing or having active contractions, then you can let her rest. You may be feeling a contracted uterine horn, or it may be another kitten, but if she is content then you can probably wait until the morning to have her checked out. Since it is already late, you would have to take her in to the emergency clinic anyway, but I would not recommend it, yet. If she becomes restless, vocal, & you see her pushjng for more than 30 minutes without producing a kitten, then take her in. Hopefully, this will not be necessary. Take care.
