    Finding a friend for 13yr needy boy

    Sqeeker is 13 3/4yr, healthy as 2yr old, and needy as a kitten. We lost his brother, Yoshi, about a month ago. They were very bonded. Sqeeker has very limited use for humans. He doesn't like to be picked up and only petted at certain times and locations. Most of the day he cuddled with his...

    UTI

    I believe my Sqeeker has a UTI. He's been peeing without awareness a few times a day for 4 days. He is also using the litterbox with big steady flows. He doesn't mind company so I've followed and listened. This makes me think UTI not blockage. He seems healthy in all other ways. Very alert...

    Yoshi Turns 15 Today

    What a wild time it’s been. My first view of him at the shelter was from the side of the cage. All I could see were a bunch of legs flying threw the bars. I was sure there were 3 or 4 kittens in there, but it was only one bouncing off the walls. I had to get him out of that cage. Right from the...

She is about 1 1/2 yrs and was spayed last year so she knows how the trap works. She takes the food from the trap with out touching the panel that would close...

    Advise On Switching Litter Type

    Our Yoshi has always perched on the corner of the litter box to use it and doesn't cover anything. He will start to cover when he pees but just shakes off his paw after a few swipes and leaves. Sqeeker covers it for him later. We always thought he just didn't like litter. Over the years we've...
