Hi, My 83-year-old mother has been feeding two groups of cats at midnight for 16 years. A week ago, after totaling her car (though she is fine), she confessed she can no longer see at night. She finally agreed to move the feeding to 530 AM (daybreak). It has been a week, and only 1-5 of the 15...

Hi. Decades ago, when I was in college, a stray gave birth to four kittens, all of whom had eye infections. The eye of one kitten was almost popping out. I took that kitten to the college vet clinic and they told me they could only prescribe the eye medication for a cat they had examined...

Hi, Thanks for writing. We've had to take in feral cats before, and even feral mothers and their kittens. The difference this time is that my mom is 80 now. Her bedroom is stark and the closet is locked so they can't cause more damage than the expected spraying. So, for the 4-5 weeks they...

Thank you for these suggestions. I will definitely look at these sites and conduct some searches.

Hi, 23 cats! Wow, that is quite a feat. God bless you for that! Thank you for your advice. We will definitely fill her bedroom and the patio with cat carriers and boxes so they have can hide an feel safe. Great idea. I don't think the removal of the colony will create a vacuum. She...

Thank you for your kind words and advice. I will investigate the suggested sites which might have more ideas for protecting the cats. When my mom was evicted, the neighbor (who's porch the ferals have been sleeping on) told my mom about the complex where her own mom lives and takes care of a...

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. We really needed them. I contacted all the local animal rescue organizations in the East Valley area of Phoenix, AZ months ago, and none replied to my emails. I have worked with TNR organizations for years, but they offer advice that varies by...

My family has a dilemma and we hope someone has some recommendations. My 80-year-old mother lived in an apartment triplex for over 10 years during which time she fed feral cats. Last year, a new management company evicted her for feeding these cats after a new, and extremely mean tenant, not...

Hi, Special Kitty now has pop-off tops, like Friskies. Occasionally, there will be a random can without a pop-top but that is rare. Unfortunately, the cans are not recyclable (tin) and are very hard to clean. Special Kitty Turkey comes in 40 oz cans as well.

Depending on your location, Walmart's special kitty is available for pick-up and/or delivery. In the attached screenshot, if it says Next Day eligible it can be delivered. To set your location, just below the search box, click the Delivering to zipcode and then type in your zip and click Update...

For comparable food, Walmart has Special Kitty 13 oz. cans. It does not appeal to all cats, but most of the feral cats I feed will eat it. It is also cheaper than Frisikies. For those who won't eat it, I always bring some Friskies as well. The preferred flavors in order, are Turkey Dinner, Mixed...

I called Chewy yesterday and the CSR told me Friskies is discontinuing all 13oz cans. I came to this site looking for info that would prove the CSR wrong . . .
