    Dealing with strays and a crazy neighbor

    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...

    E collar?

    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...

    Gofundme for Rupert's Surgery

    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...

    I made a HUGE mistake

    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...

    Scab Over Sutures

    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...

    Help!!! Emergency!!!

    I recently found a stray cat in town and brought her home. She's gotten sick from the cats I'm fostering. It started as a URI but had developed into what my vet thinks is pneumonia. He says it doesn't sound like pneumonia, but she's wheezing and breathing out of her mouth. She's currently taking...

    Pneumonia

    I recently took in some foster cats, a mother and her eight kittens. The rescue I got them from failed to mention that they had upper respiratory infections and, since I didn't know about the infections, I wasn't treating them. The mother cat's URI has now developed into pneumonia. I took her to...

    Thank You!

    I know I've personally thanked some of you, but to some of you, I owe you a thank you. For donating to my foster cats. They're already getting better and mama cat is gaining weight. It's all thanks to you. Whether you gave moral support or financial, it was a huge help. So again, thank you!!

    Leo The Lion

    A tribute to Leo, a kitten who liked to sleep in front of the door, which would be the death of him. R.I.P Lil' Leo.

    Help Me Name My Kitties

    @Jcatbird @foxden @catsknowme @Mamanyt1953 (feel free to add anyone else who helped me in getting these foster kittens) I'll post pictures of the kittens here and say something about their personality as I learn it. I'll try to guess genders too, but I'm not the best at that.

    Euthanization Of 32 Cats

    The Tift County animal shelter in Tift County, Georgia is infected with Upper Respiratory Infections. Instead of treating the cats like a normal person, the owner decided to euthanize 32 cats in the shelter. Kittens and all. They closed adoptions and they're only allowed rescues. Please help...

    My Foster Adventure

    So as some of you know, @Jcatbird and @catsknowme, had asked for help with some kittens that were going to be euthanized. I already have about twenty cats of my own, but no one else was taking these poor babies. So I did. Probably not the smartest idea, but these guys weren't even gonna get a...

    Does My Cat Have Rabies?

    My cat is a three year old manx tom. He kinda just does his own thing since I live out in the country. I haven't seen him in the last 3 or 4 months, but he suddenly showed up today. His mouth was opened and he was panting so I assume he was looking for a "friend". I brought him inside and locked...

    Blood Blisters?

    Miss Didymus, my one year old cat, was licking her toes when I noticed these red blisters on the pads of her paws. Some of the pads are also cracked. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and was only grooming when I saw them. I'm from the south where it gets *very* hot and I'm thinking that maybe...

    My Kitties

    Everyone I've met on this site has been so generous to me. And I don't mean just giving me some advice generous. I mean..like, over and beyond kind of generous. And there's no way I can really show how grateful I am to all of you besides thank yous. And pictures of the cats you're helping...

    Kittens Being Overfed

    I have three mother cats. One cat (Didymus) had two kittens that both died, one from FKS and one from deformities from a manx father. Another cat (Millie) refuses to feed her kittens anywhere other than my bed. She always brings them back. So..we share a bed. Millie has four kittens and since...
