BTW, her ear is tipped, so she's already been fixed, last week we did her first round of booster shots, she is FEV negative and she will be getting all her shots to get caught up within 2 weeks. I'm paying for all of it. And her foot is healed. Fever is gone. There is nothing "sick" about her...
I'm in Jacksonville, Florida. I took her for treatment to First Coast No More Homeless Pets and to my local vet. I doubt I will have the heart to let her go. I will probably keep her in my bedroom/bathroom area as a foster cat, and if I can't get anyone I will probably make her my own...
I look after a group of cats that live around a local bank. Most are feral, one in particular is sweet and you can tell was at one time owned or around humans. 2 weeks ago I noticed she could not walk and had a laceration on her leg. I picked her up, took her to our local vet and she had a...
I just got back from the Emergency Clinic. She has mastitis in one of her mammory glands. They tried to milk it some to alleviate the pressure. I have 7 days of antibiotics to give her, 3 days of anti-inflammatory medicine and she received a shot of pain medicine which lasts 72 hours. In all, it...
I would say it's the mammary gland. I'm taking her to a 24 hour emergency vet clinic at 10:45am EST. I just hate this. I already feel so awful for all the trauma she's been through beings spayed, now I have to put her in the dreaded box again and take her to get poked more. High Anxiety today...

All,
I had a female cat spayed that is an outdoor cat I'm trying to adopt. She is very sweet and loving. I rescued one of her kittens from a storm drain 2 weeks ago during a rainstorm. The vet said I could go ahead and have the mom spayed since the kitten (and others if there...
I think the most important thing is to keep her in a safe separate location for a little while. (10 days or so) A decent sized bathroom made into a cozy cat nook. I'm actually doing this right now. Keep the bathroom fan on at first to drowned out any background noises so it becomes a soothing...
This is a reply to the previous two:
I'm caught between a rock and hard place right now. The mother cat has been coming around for the past few months. I knew she had given birth because her nipples were puffy and it was obvious. I fed her, that's it. The other day while coming into my...
All,
There is a very sweet outside cat that lost her kittens she was nesting in a storm after heavy rains this past week in Florida. I was able to save one that I found hanging onto a drain pipe. She is 5 weeks and is doing great.
My question concerns the mom cat. She is VERY sweet. No way I...
Wow, I didn't even think about that. You are totally right. I always say that she is WAY to sweet to be wild. She is more social than my own cat that I own who was, as you say, a true "feral" when I got her. You are right, I bet she was someone's pet who just "dumped" her for some reason. Poor...
Thank you. Your words are very comforting. I will keep the forum updated. The kitten is doing good. I felt like a parent, I was so happy, he is eating, playing, peeing, pooping, and is beautiful. My plan for this weekend is to follow mama cat and try to determine as best I can if she is all...
