    Success introducing kitten to our cat!

    Just wanted to follow up from a few months ago. Daughter rescued an 8 week old female kitten from a bad situation. We already had a 2 1/2 year old female in the home. They are happily coexisting now, and they play hard! We kept them separated until the kitten was combo tested, then we did...

    How do you know when to do face to face intro (kitten to cat)

    We have a 2 1/2 year old spayed female. My daughter rescued a 8 week old female a few weeks ago. She is now about 11 weeks and 3lbs. She had been in my daughter's bedroom, very comfortable, for the first two weeks until she got combo-tested. Now that we have the all-clear, we have been doing...

    I really don't like my cat's personality

    We took in a foster last year right before shut-down -- a single female kitten about 8 weeks old. She was sweet then and would hop up on your chest and fall asleep. My spouse then declared we were keeping her. We lost our 13 year old cat a couple of years ago; I was happy with just fostering...

    Kitten gets "bitey" while on the bed...

    Hello -- I am "foster failure" with a spayed, female kitten approximately four months old. She was found by herself, and I offered to foster her since she is an "only" and I could turn her around in a week or two and easily get her adopted. Anyhow, my husband fell in love with her, and decided...

    Update on my two fosters (fleas)

    I know I have started several threads on this, but here is where we are at. To recap, I picked up two six month old boys from a gross house on Saturday (we have no pets ourselves). I took them directly to the rescue (at Petsmart). She flea combed, saw "dirt" and immediately treated them with...

    Ok to bring cats inside after flea treatment?

    I picked up two fosters yesterday that showed flea dirt. They were treated with capstar and Advantage multi about 18 hours ago. They have not been in my house yet , and are in a crate in the garage. Rescue told me to flea comb the dirt out after. Is it ok to do this in my laundry room? Would...

    Nervous Foster Mom here -- cats in my garage! Need advice!

    This is my second time fostering. First was a mom and four 8 week old kittens. They were all a piece of cake and got adopted quickly. Today, I went to a yucky house and picked up two supposed 6 month old kittens and a pregnant mother. I say supposed because they (males) seem rather large for...

    So Worried About My Foster Kittens

    I took my two 9 week old kittens and their mother to be spayed 4-5 days ago. They were in funk for a couple days, seemed to come out of it, but now both have diarrhea and a lack of appetite. I took a runny stool sample in yesterday, but she said it may not be a big enough sample for a test :(...

    Cancer Diagnosis And Appetite Stimulant?

    My beautiful, previously healthy 13 year old male cat seemed to lose his appetite a week ago. By day four, we took him in. An X-ray revealed pleural effusion in the chest and we were referred to a cardiologist who removed the fluid. His heart is fine but the lab diagnosed him with Pulmonary...
