    Please help: my cat has bilateral femoral neck fractures

    Good Luck to Milo today. My cat Stewie is waiting to have his second hip done. He too broke both of his hips and we still don't know how. He had his first hip done in November and we will do his second shortly, both FHO. His vet decided that one at a time was the way to go with plenty of...

    Megaesophagus and Lola

    I thought I would place this here as I ask for advice and prayers for Lola. Lola was left in my care 2 weeks ago at the tender age of two weeks because she either lost her mom or her mom lost her. From day one she has had trouble bottlefeeding it is so frustrating for her. Lola first saw the...

    My newest addition, Thumbelina, has 6 toes on each front foot and five toes on each back foot, mittens. Her nickname is Thumbs for obvious reasons! Dozen2Luv (Regina)

    Weird human food enjoyed by Cats

    Stewie absolutely loves Cheetos and not the regular Cheetos they have to be the hot ones! My daughter will get a bag and yell for Stewie to come share her Cheetos and he is right there. He turns his nose up to regular Cheetos and she tried hot goldfish too, but no way. Dozen2Luv (Regina)

    PetSmart Adoption help needed from California!

    That wouldn't happen to be the little orange guy at Petsmart in SB would it? If it is I don't think they won't hold him for three months. I am affilated with one of the rescues these ladies used to work with and what we do is if the kitten is too young to get fixed you get a voucher for our...

    Stewie and broken hips

    Could you send Stewie good thoughts today? I dropped him off this morning for his surgery. He won't get to come home until tomorrow and then the "fun" begins, keeping him confined and quiet until his hip heals. The good thing is that Stewie has always been a quiet laidback cat so hopefully...

    It's Overwhelming....

    Katie I hope you didn't take my thank you wrong. I have nothing but admiration for those of you who do the other work. The shelters, the clinics taking care of the ferals. My contribution is fostering. taking the kittens to their adoption shows and helping out the rescue when I can. Regina

    It's Overwhelming....

    Renny I wanted to let you know the day you posted I too was feeling very overwhelmed and was losing site of exactly why I was fostering. So you were not alone! I have 16 of my own and at the moment have 14 fosters. I just foster for the group but sometimes feel like they aren't listening to...

    Jimmy is having a breakthrough!!

    Although Snow White is a foster I have already made my mind up that she has found a spot at my house if she needs it. Just can't tell the people I foster for yet! I don't think any of them want to admit that they have one that is probably unadoptable. I have 17 of my own and one of those is...

    Jimmy is having a breakthrough!!

    Jenn can I ask you something? Were you ever afraid you would lose Jimmy in the house? I know it is a stupid question. I have a seven month old foster who came to me about three weeks ago...feral. Her background is that her foster home has had since she was 8 weeks old with her sisters. Her...

    Where do I start?

    Thank you Hissy. I will start at square one with her. I will treat her like the little ones that were left on my doorstep at 5 weeks and feral. We followed your advice with them and left them be in the same bathroom and they eventually reached out to us. Now to just get them to accept people...

    Where do I start?

    I decided I could come here and ask for a little guidance from those of you with more experince with feral cats than me. I foster and Snow White has just come to stay with me. A little background on her...she arrived at her foster home at about 8 weeks with two siblings. The two siblings...

    Should I buy a cat that had a cold?

    I have 17 cats and of those 2 have herpes. Emma has a chronic case and deals with runny eyes everyday. Luke has a runny nose that causes his nose to appear like it is chapped. Emma is four, Luke is two. Did Emma give it to Luke? It is hard to say. Luke and Emma are related, same mother...
