    Stray/Trapped Cat Vomiting

    I trapped a 12-16 month old lady a week and a half ago, and looking for some advice. I'm pretty certain she has lived outside her entire life and had 1 litter of 1 surviving kitten (which I rehomed). I trapped this lady and her poop has been normal. Gray, hard at first but I assumed it was...

    Suggestions for introducing Stray to Dog?

    Hi! I've been caring for a stray that someone dumped for the past 3+ years. It has taken me 3'ish years to gain his trust and now he has moved onto my front porch. I think I have finally found a home for him, which is great because the temps here are below freezing. Does anyone have...

    Stray Cat & Neuter

    I've had a stray cat that's been coming around for about 3 years now. I always suspected he was dumped, and I've been working to gain his trust. It only took 3 years :) but I can pet him, pick him up, etc. He has been living on my unheated front porch (the screen door is broken so he is able...

    Delayed Complications/Nausea from Cystocentesis?

    I took my guys to the vet on Dec 2nd for their routine checkup. The vet did a cystocentesis as part of their senior panel and one of my guys had a bad reaction to it and had to be taken in the back and put on oxygen (he was open mouth breathing and panting). I left for a work trip that...

    Dry Food For Stray?

    I'm currently feeding my stray/feral 1-2 cans wet (usually Friskies), and during the day, I leave out Purina Cat Chow. My bag of Cat Chow is running low and I was thinking of switching to the Costco/Kirkland brand of dry food. Any thoughts? Do I stick with what I've been giving or is it OK...

    Deworming A Stray/feral?

    So, I am thinking my stray/feral mama has worms.... she can easily eat 1.5-2 cans of food a day plus dry. She isn't fat and is quite lean. Should I try putting a dewormer in her food? If so, thoughts on OTC ones to try?

    Stray Visits At Sporadic Times

    My mama stray is still coming around to eat, but she isn't consistent with the times she comes around so I'm struggling with what to do. I don't want to leave food out overnight because it Has been attracting skunks and racoons BUT she sometimes doesn't come until 11p at night. Sometimes she...

    Behavior Changing ~15mos?

    I took a stray female kitten in last Aug. The vet estimated her to be about 5"ish months at the time. In the last couple days, her temperment is really changing... she doesn't want me to touch her, she doesn't come for love, I can't hold her, etc. Is this a phase? Could she outgrow it? Or...

    How Much Food To Feed A Stray?

    I have a stray kitty that's been hanging around and I recently started feeding. As an aside, I think it might be the mom to the stray kitten I took in last August:( I've been putting out dry food and also feeding her about 3/4 can of Friskies or other wet that my guys don't like. She comes by...

    Freeze-dried Food & Not Rehydrating

    My crew are such picky little snots, especially my little diva kitten :) Initially, Aggie took to raw, but didn't like EZ complete. I went on the hunt for something new she would like and finally found a pre-made she would eat (Quest) until she started turning her nose up at that too. She...

    11mo Old Kitten Chewing/teething?

    I added a stray kitten to my family back in August. We are guessing she is roughly 11 months old now. From everything I've read, teething should be done and she should have all her adult teeth, however, she is always trying to "chew" on things, back towards her molars. Her vet hasn't seen...

    Fussy, Fussy Kitten...... Need Help (argh......)!!

    Back in August, I took in a stray kitten and we have estimated to be about 8 months old now. When I first took her in, she ate anything and everything, which obviously was a result of her being a stray. However, she slowly started to become more picky, and fussy. At this same time, we...

    Spay Options

    Hi all, My little Aggie is going in on Monday to be spayed, and she is my first girl kittie so I'm a bit overwhelmed by the different options, and trying to make the best decision for her. The last 3 guys I adopted were from the shelter, and were fixed before I got them so I didn't need to be...

    14 Week Old Kitten With Runny Poop :(

    Hi all, I rescued a kitten on 08/05 that I found outside of my house (thinking someone dumped her -- tried to find her owner with no luck so I kept her!). When I took her in, we estimated her to be around 8-10 weeks old at that time, but the vet now thinks we were off by 2-4 weeks in our...
