Former glamour model Katie Price is ‘following everything the vets have told her’ as she sparks concern for her four kittens who have been travelling the UK with her
Katie Price has faced concern over the health of her kittens after one died and the others had to be taken to the emergency vets. The former glamour model, 47, has previously been hit with calls and petitions for her to be banned from owning pets.
Just a few weeks ago, her sphynx cat Doris gave birth to a litter of kittens. Sadly, one of them died shortly afterwards and became the eight animal to die in Katie’s care.
The other kittens have also suffered a decline in health and have been bottle fed by the mum-of-five and boyfriend JJ Salter after Doris contracted an infection. It meant she was unable to feed her kittens as she was placed on antibiotics.

Katie has now kicked off her UK tour with Kerry Katona, with the four kittens travelling the country with her. This week, Katie became distressed when JJ found the little cats limp and unwell.
“All of them now have declined so bad even though we took them to the vets earlier,” she said on Snapchat. “JJ had to rush them to the emergency vets.
“We’re on our way back to the vets, it’s not looking good. Fingers crossed, they are like our babies. We’re doing everything we can. We’re just gutted at the minute. And we’ll be gutted if they can’t do anything for them.”
Katie later revealed they had been kept in overnight, and Doris’ condition had improved. She told her followers: “Good morning, didn’t have a very good sleep last night at all.
“The vets ringing us three times in the night. I’ll give you an update on the kittens again just not in the right frame of mind. But Doris is alright.”
The TV star confirmed Doris has now returned home but has not shared an update on her kittens. A spokesperson for Katie told the Mirror: “Kate has been taking advice from the vets and has been following everything the vets have told her to do in regards to the kittens.”
The RSPCA say kittens need to be kept with their mother until at least eight to nine weeks of age. Kittens can meet other healthy fully vaccinated cats and dogs, as well as other people and children from eight to 12 weeks.
This week, Katie was spotted cradling one of her kittens as she left her theatre show on Monday in Chester. She explained on Facebook: “They were born two weeks premature and we have been bottle feeding them as well as their mum feeding them.
“But they’ve all been really healthy. We’re all really attached to them, they look at me like they’re second mum because obviously I feed them.”
She explained: “So JJ calls and says he thinks two of the kittens are dead because they’re not moving. He showed them me and they were all limp with their tongues out, two of them. I said you need to get them to the vets straight away.
“He took them to the vet and the vet said it would be best to let them go basically, put them to sleep. I said, ‘No chance they must be able to do something.’ Thank God I didn’t go with what the vet said. £1400 later they are now home. I’m just keeping a close eye on them. Thank god because they are like my babies.”
