Thank you everyone for your kind and thoughtful responses. I definitely agree with Kittybang and KittyCat that my husband is still grieving and may need more time. On his next day off I'm going to sit down with him and discuss what we want to do going forward. I think volunteering at the shelter...
Hello, I just wanted to talk about this somewhere and hope this is okay.
In November we lost our sweet Ryuji, who I named my username after. He was a beautiful orange cat who absolutely shone in the sun. He was a typical orange cat, very silly and crazy about his food. He was always so cuddly...
Hello all. Sorry if this isn't the correct board, feel free to move or delete.
I just returned home from a 6 day trip. During the time I was gone my cats were looked after by a pet sitter through a professional pet sitting service. This sitter has looked after my cats twice before and has done...
Mostly difficulty on getting appointments in my area, for example my husband needed an appointment with GP doctor for reasons unrelated to this issue but was unable to get in until April, and I'm fairly certain they plan on doing the audit soon. But you're right, we should do it legitimately and...
Thank you for sharing your opinion. My complex does allow two pets, and I'd be fine paying extra rent. The big reason I've hesitated so much is they want a non refundable deposit of $650. However, I think I'll take your advice and bite the bullet and pay until I'm able to get in with a...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I probably will go with my gut and be honest. And that's a good point it'd be good for them to know if they had to enter in case of emergency.
Hello. I'd like to start this post saying I know it'd be better if we could just officially add our cats to the lease and that this is sort of scummy, but that's not what I'm asking. I just want to know if anyone else has gone through this and what the results were. Thank you in advance for any...
Hello all. So yesterday after I came home from work I noticed my cat had an extremely watery and swollen eye. Unfortunately I came home after my regular vet was closed and most vet offices and clinics are closed over the weekend. There is a 24 hour animal hospital I can take her to, however I...
Hello! Last month I brought a new female cat into our home, she is about a year old. I already had a male cat around 6 years old. The introductions have been slow going, but they are now at the point they can both roam around the apartment together. They are mostly staying out of each other's...
Thanks for sharing your experience. That's great of you to work with Merlin and to help him out. I wish you luck as well in working on his hunger. I will definitely try putting her in her own room and hopefully she will get used to being inside.
Hello everyone! Maybe a couple weeks ago a young cat started appearing on my balcony. Immediately she was very friendly but a bit skittish. However, over time she has really grown to like me and is very loving toward me. At first I thought she may belong to someone due to her being in better...
Honestly I have not really dealt with any stray/feral cats before this one and always assumed you first go to a shelter with a lost animal in case they may belong to someone, and also because they have resources. As far as I can tell she has never been pregnant, but honestly I am not 100% she is...
Hello everyone. I was just hoping to post my story and get opinions on what my next steps should be and on if I could end up adopting her.
Near the beginning of the year a cat began showing up on my balcony. At the beginning she would fight with my cat through the glass and immediately leave...
