I apologize my post is long. I am distraught because my 7-8 month old cat has been vomiting since Wednesday night and it hasn’t resolved. I brought him to vet #1 thursday for cerenia injection and subq fluids. My cat wants to eat but kept gagging and retching. Then Friday morning I saw more...

We shop at Costco for our cat litter (Scoop Away), and the past couple times we went they have been out. We even tried multiple locations. So today when we went and saw the litter in stock, we bought 10 packs. My husband and I only go to Costco maybe twice a month if we have time. Normally we...

How would the color of this kitty be described? She has a striped tail and light blue/gray eyes. The front paws are white, I forgot what color the hind feet are. She has a good temperament so far, a bit cautious but purring and meowing, and she enjoys pets. She came from a barn colony but seems...

We caught this feral the other week for TNR and immediately noticed a problem with his eye. He is missing his eye ball but the socket is still open. The eye doesn’t look infected, just the eye ball is not there or visible. I made an appointment at a local low cost vet to get his opinion and he...

I have rescued 2 kittens from outside with giardia. They were diagnosed around 2 months of age and received meds, and at age 4.5 months right now the female is confirmed positive again. The vet gave me metronidazole for her and panacur this time, but he wouldn’t give me panacur for the boy...

So today is day 5 after having this 4 month old kitten spayed. They did say she was in heat when she was spayed. Her tummy still looked normal this morning. I have to separate her and her brother because they just want to chase each other and wrestle, and kick each other with the hind legs. I...

I rescued 2 kitten siblings from outside, a boy and girl around age 6-8 weeks. I thought they were more like 8 weeks because that’s when I saw their feral mom’s belly get smaller 2 months prior, but the vet said based on their size they were 6-7. Well now they are about 3.5 months old and the...

Does anyone here have personal experience with heartworm in cats? We brought half of our cats for an annual exam and I started them on the felv vaccine and I wanted a prescription for revolution. After we got home later, the vet called telling me one of my cats came back positive for...

I am a bit stressed because I caught a kitten from outside and don’t know what to do with it. I don’t want to keep yet another kitten. I already kept 2 from outside 2 years ago, and had 4 cats already. The non-kill shelter here is not supportive to strays (only personal pets) and I don’t want it...

This is not the first time I’ve seen a kitty injure themselves in a trap during TNR. But I was quite horrified to check on him this morning after neutering. He was probably very stressed and scared trying to get out of the trap and injured his face. It’s swollen and it looks like he flayed off...

Someone’s unleashed dog attacked a feral cat in front of our house yesterday. It was all caught on the security camera and her cries were terrible. I do leave out food for strays and I TNR’d this girl at least 2-3 years ago. Normally she would run away from people but she sat there in the dirt...

Waiting at emergency vet parking lot at 12:30am feeling stressed and dreading what’s to come. :( I was at work double shift (16 hours and awake since 4am) and my husband saw our cat was vomiting at home 6pm and there were also pools of blood. He fed the cats and checked later 1-2 hours later...

Would you classify my tabby cat as brown or gray? Her mom is definitely a brown tabby and looks somewhat part bengal. Her siblings are all dark gray, solid color.

I have a question about the vaccine. I rescued these feral kittens from outside so they were started on their vaccines a bit later. They are approximately 4 months now, or a very small 5 months, I’m not sure exactly. One kitten was rescued 3 weeks earlier so she had all 3 doses of fvrcp now...

Has anyone’s cat had dry FIP? What type of medications or treatments were given to help your pet be more comfortable? We’ve been doing a lot of testing on our cat to find out what’s wrong with him but the vet doesn’t have any answers or a diagnosis. We just did a blood FIP test and are awaiting...

Has anyone had issues after giving your cat Mirtaz gel? My cat was prescribed this and it’s only day two of treatment, so two applications were given. I used gloves from work day 1 and first application was fine. Second time I used different gloves, they’re noticeably thinner but still...

I had tried topical rogaine a few times months ago. I stopped because I happened to read online that it’s toxic to cats and someone’s cat died from exposure. My cats sleep with me and it’s possible they could have licked my hair at some point. Several months later (6-9 months) one of my cats is...

Hello, There is a mother feral who started bringing her 2 kittens around to our porch where I hide food and water. Sometimes they sleep on the porch during the night or part of the day. The mom is not friendly and has charged towards me and hissed when she thought I might grab her babies (I...

Sigh, I got another kitten almost a month ago and occasionally he pees outside his box. So far he has peed on two cat beds and two cat trees. I also think he has peed on the guest room bed because I see yellow spots on the white comforter, but it was always dry and didn’t smell. So I’m not sure...

I am debating whether to adopt a third kitten to my house. I was wondering what gender it should be if I have one energetic, outgoing male (17 weeks) and one timid female (14 weeks). LONG story ahead, skip to the last paragraph if you don’t want to read it. :) Some back story, I fostered a...
