Hello friends! OK..so the fecal test came back negative. Have read these tests can be unreliable, any thoughts on that? I swear that Aimee barfed up a roundworm this past weekend. Just one..not moving. Is it possible it wasn't a worm? Haven't seen anything in her poop when scooping it, and I'm...

HI all, need advice on dosing our semiferal, Aimee, for roundworm. She's been indoor-only for over 3 years (was wormed when first brought in), and none of our other kitties go out, and we don't have a dog. I explained to vet how difficult she is (she's nice enough and will sleep next to me, but...

Three cheers for you and your friend! Wow..so nice to hear good news for a change. =) Is there any chance you can keep him? :redheartpump::redheartpump::redheartpump:

I'm not sure of your location, but another option is to enlist the help of a local cat rescue. I personally have found them to be really helpful, esp if you are going to be responsible for the cats and take them in. My rescue friend gets me her vet discount, and I pay the vet directly for...

In a word--no..we don't ever let them out. All of our 12 cats (3 are domesticated ferals) stay indoors. Part of the reason for trapping them was to keep them away from cars, predators, bugs, diseases, and extremes in weather. They all seem happy to be in the house and have settled in fine after...

Maybe Norwegian Forest cat?

Hi Walli's mom! Long time no chat. Aimee is playing with me with the fishing pole toy. She's still in her own room (hubs office) but we leave the door open with the tall baby gate shut. The other kitties come to sniff/visit, with varying responses. It's been getting steadily better. We'll have...

Create shade by leaning a board or draping a tarp or cloth? Also the pet stores, even HomeGoods, have gel cooling mats for sale for under $20. Thank you for taking care of this kitty!

I had to smile to myself while reading your story. This is pretty close to what happened at our house 5 years ago. Stray mama put 4 kittens in our window well. The rest is history-- we kept everyone and are up to 12 cats at our house. Thank you for saving them.

Hi! I wouldn't worry too much..these things take time and you are AWESOME for taking these little ones in. We have 12 indoor cats--8 of whom came from our yard. 3 are truly semi-feral--one was already TNR'd when we grabbed her in January, but the other two had showed up in our yard with kittens...

Hi and welcome! My two cents..Buy a tall metal baby gate..Amazon sells one, "Regalo" brand. None of my cats have jumped it--it's 37" tall. The kitten and one adult can squeeze through the bars, but the other 10 cats can't. (Yep we have 12 cats!). It sounds like you;re doing all the right...

Hi! I wouldn't worry too much..it's only been 2 months! We have 12 indoor cats--8 of whom came from our yard. 3 are truly semi-feral--one was already TNR'd when we grabbed her in January, but the other two had showed up in our yard with kittens. It will vary in how long it takes. The first feral...

Hi Walli's mom! You got another kitty?? I have been off here for a while and obviously missed quite a bit! Feral Aimee hangs out with my husband in the office and seems pretty comfortable. She's not a fan of mine but I'm at work all day, so she doesn't know me except as the maid and cook.=) I'm...

Hi again! We have too many cats..but Neko really is the problem child. All the others are good, even the 3 former ferals.

Hi Rubysmama, Sadly this has been happening for a couple of years.
