    Vet reccommend to let my cat stay in the clinic 2-3 days after spay. should i?

    I've been doing cat rescue for about 15 years and have had a lot of cats spayed and in my experience there is no need to keep a young, healthy cat at the vet more than a few hours after surgery. As long as the kitty is fully awake from the anesthesia and doing well they should be able you go...

    Stuck With Three Senior Cats! Advice Needed.

    To make a long story short, six years ago I came across five cats living with their owner in a pick up truck in 90 degree heat. I took them all in during the summer until the owner found an apartment. In December of 2016 the owner showed up at my door telling me he’d been evicted and had...
