Hello. So I just adopted a cat yesterday. I think she can be so sweet but once I brought her home with my family and other cats she got aggressive and will hide. (Scratch, hisses and yowels) I leave her be for now and gave her some tuna. This will make you feel sick, but she was abused...

We adopted Piri a feral kitten last year and she has become the most, loving, sociable(with us) funny cat. We have brought George into our home 3 weeks ago and he has a history of physical abuse. He is petrified and living in my wardrobe but is now using the litter tray and will take treats...

Long story short: my cat love all humans, she fears no one, she is tough toward other cats, start with hissing and attacking them (only smacking not using claws) but comes around eventually. the point is she never met a human she didn't trust within 2 minutes and lay at their feet for a few...

Buckle in, this is a long one. My previous cat died in January. She was perfect, and I was so sad without her. We decided to get another cat, and brought home Michigan from the shelter on 2/6/21. We also brought home one of the cat beds from the shelter, thinking that having a familiar scent...

Rescued a 1 year old male cat from a wretched woman who had abused him about 2 months ago. He was starved and had an obviously broken leg. We immediate took him to the vet. Vet said he had several fractures in his back leg that were healed. Gave him some meds and said he just needed a whole lot...

4 weeks ago I have adopted a shy -probably abused - cat from a shelter. She has been hiding under my beds moving between 2 rooms. In the first 2 weeks we were making quite some progress - she was purring loudly, would eat treats from my hand and we even had sort of cuddle sessions while she was...

I adopted Bosco from the Humane Society a month ago. They warned me that he nips when he's over-stimulated, and he's done it a few times. But on Saturday he was sitting on my lap, and he bit my arm really hard and drew blood. I shoved him off my lap and walked quickly toward him because he was...

Hello kitty people! So I've been on the lookout for a kitty to add to our wee family the last few months. (Original advice on deciding to commit to a kitty, with some history on my Petunia here: Contemplating A 2nd Cat) Tonight I went to see a 'shy', 'nervous' kitty a few hours from here...

So I live in an apartment building and it's just getting colder and colder around here these days. There is a cat that is always at the entrance door of the apartment building, and whenever she is out she just stands near the door and waits for someone to open and comes in and just stays inside...

More Kitty that was adopted is back. We’re not sure what the eye issue is, but it has gotten more swollen since he’s been here. It looks like he had the crap beaten out of him. I hope not though. He is literally the sweetest cat. Just purred while I gave him lots of love. He seems kinda sad :/...

Hi! I'm in need of opinions on a current situation I am going through right now. I've had a boyfriend over the last 6 months and he decided to leave me (over petty reasons), but that's not the point. The whole time I knew he had a cat, but he didn't talk to me about him often, as much as I...

Lily has suddenly had an adverse effect on our older (5-6 year old) previously abused cat.  All are fixed and in sound health (just had their annuals within the past three weeks with the older cat being within the past ten days). The older cat gets "moody" at times with weather changes...

I have been taking care of a fiercely free and semi-feral cat for years. I am full up on my own cats (all but one who are rescues) Even with food, she in the lone cat no one can catch to TNR. She basically has lived in the shared backyards since she was born, 4 years ago. Last I saw her, she...

Hello! I have had a cat before, but not since he passed away last year. Earlier this week I decided to adopt one and I contacted someone who had posted about re-homing their cat on Craigslist. It did not strike me as strange at the time, but I never got a name, number, or real email address...

A month ago my guy took in a 4 year old female cat. We knew she was a neglected cat. She spent most of her life in a basement and was afraid of young children. She is now in a home where she has limited "hiding" places. However, she can be alone when she so desires. It took her about two...
