I have decided that for now, I will claim that mommy cat is my outside cat. I put the bowl of food out for her and cannot help who else comes up to eat. That's what I'll stick to for now. I've reached out to a low cost spay clinic but haven't had a response yet. The officer on the phone, when...

Earlier this year, I moved into my first apartment with my boyfriend. My first ever place to call my own. When I arrived, there was a friendly neighborhood stray. He's an older male. A very hefty guy, so we called him Big Hoss. Later, a young cat came up. Maybe a little over a year old, she had...

Six weeks. And he'll be confined in a small cage because he's 10 months old and not the brightest thing. Sorry to hear about what happened to your cat though, hope she recovered well.

I'm about to order these now. He'll just have to wear the hard one for now

For now I have cut down the outside rim so that it isn't so high so he can eat. I lined the cut plastic with electrical tape. I will be buying soft collars now.

Rupert has a broken leg and had it repaired with a rod. He chewed at a suture and it came out, though the wound didn't open, thankfully. I called my vet and the suggested an e collar. I put it on him and..I don't think it's gonna work for us. He keeps throwing his head around and I'm afraid he's...

UPDATE: Rupert's operation was early Monday morning. By lunch, when I called, he was waking up and doing well. I exceeded my $400 goal on gofundme by $40!! I was able to pay for everything today ($1,129 in total) thanks to everyone that donated and shared. I brought him home just now and he's...

I never spoke with the vet. A woman came out to my car, told me that it was a bad break and that the surgery would be around $1,000. I was already getting emotional and I didn't even want to hear the other options (amputation/euthanization) so I said "just do it". My next option, if I don't have...

My cat Rupert suffered a broken leg and is having surgery on Monday Feb. 15, 2021. I work minimum wage and the cost of the surgery ($1,000 est.) will take my entire paycheck + $400. I'm asking for financial help if you're able to, or even just kind words and encouragement if you can't. Here's...

@Jcatbird some advice? The cord just look like a little white stub and I'm afraid that what I've done is stripped the protective layer

So..my cat just gave birth. She struggled for a good 45 minutes; short contractions, returning to the litter box to defecate, straining and distress. I called the emergency vet and they told me to bring her in but it's two hours away. So as soon as I got off the phone, her first kitten was born...

So earlier this month, my Colby limped into my camper with a completely limp paw. My first thought was "I closed her paw in the door!" So I rushed her back to my mother's house to let her look at it. Upon inspection, we noticed there was also a seeping, foul smelling hole in her chest. Then I...

It turned out to be sap that was getting stuck on her paws. She would chew it off and cause these blisters. It caused an infection in all four of her paws and she was put on antibiotics for it.
