Thanks for the heads up. The “a” got left out when I did copy/paste. Fixed.

Hello die-hard cat devotees, There is an urgent issue that requires all hands on deck. In China, where there are no animal cruelty laws, Feline Guardians Without Borders uncovered a large cat torture network showcasing 100s of gruesome and distressing videos depicting unspeakable acts of...

Hi, I have a roach phobia and my advice is to roach proof your home so it’s difficult for them to get in. I personally caulk the space where the wall meets the floor. Use door draft stoppers if there is space between your door and the ground. Caulk the space around pipes under sinks. Plug your...

You could add clear unflavored pedialyte to her water while you wait for the next vet appnt.

Start a Gofundme, check out the below link to see if you can secure assistance, ask your vet for a payment plan, apply for CareCredit. Please do what you need to do to take this cat to the vet. She shouldn’t suffer with a hole in her body like that. I recommend choosing a vet that deals with...

Thank you everyone for your responses and sharing your experience. It was very informative. The cancer recurring after the enucleation was one of my concerns. If a treatment was only going to extend his life by a mere months, I didn’t want to put him through it. I have experience putting a cat...

Hi everyone, Last week, we said goodbye to a beloved ginger community cat who was a fixture in my neighborhood. He lived on a certain street and had a feeder who fed him for over a decade. His estimated age was 12/13. I am posting here today because I provided him vet and foster care as needed...

Get a quote from a vet (preferably one that rescues use. You can call rescues to get vet recs) for the cost of the initial office visit to get her leg checked out. Create a Gofundme with photos of Cinnamon, her story, and explain her need for immediate vet care. Make it personal and friendly...

If you’re going to be staying in Japan for only one year, I’d recommend leaving him with a foster family. I’ve done that before with my cats. The whole trip to and from there - cars, flights, trains, trapped in carrier for eternity - would be traumatizing and exhausting for him.

I would go for the ultrasound when you get money together, or perhaps use CareCredit. Cats live 20 years, so at 9 years old, your baby is still middle aged. The ultrasound would help pinpoint the exact cause of Scottie's symptoms so your vet can come up with a course of treatment and hopefully a...

I feed my kittens wet food about 4x or as many times as they wish per day. I also leave dry food 24/7.

Have you been only or mostly feeding him kibble? If so, you should switch to wet food and research feline nutrition.

I have a ragdoll kitten the same age as yours and I am very concerned to hear about your kitty's health issues. He needs help immediately before it's too late. I would go ahead and do the MRI or whatever he needs. If your vet cannot figure out the cause, I would move onto another vet asap. Is...

If he prefers wet food, I would just stick to that. Wet food is better for cats anyway, especially for male cats. If he got hurt outside by a car or something, I would try to keep him indoors and take him out for occasional walks. Hope he recovers soon!

I feel for you. The trauma, the numbness, the shock....the feeling that your world has collapsed and nothing is important anymore. Your baby was truly your soulmate. Literally being there for you through thick and thin. Never leaving your side no matter what. You went through so much of your...
