    Stray Cat Aggression

    We are feeding a stray cat who recently showed up. We think it's a female, but we won't find out for sure til Monday when s/he is going to the vet. We can't take the kitty in because we already have 7 indoor cats, so for now we are providing food and outdoor shelter. We usually both go out to...

    Feeling like a heel..

    So we have 7 indoor cats (4 strays who have adopted us since we moved here and 3 cats (was 4, but one passed away) who belong to a relative who is incarcerated and we were the only option except animal control) and another stray has shown up. Appears to be female, brown/tiger striped with a...

    Don't know how to help

    A good friend of ours passed away 3 months ago. He took care of a colony of approx. 19 cats who showed up on his property. He did not have a lot of money, but got all of them spayed/neutered via free vouchers. We were able to help with food occasionally but he handled most everything himself...

    D-Mannose to the Rescue

    Our 19.5 year old lady started showing signs of a urinary tract infection yesterday afternoon. Frequent small amounts of urine with a bit of pink (she refuses to use cat litter with the other kitties and only uses boxes lined with newspaper so she's easy to monitor). I am prone to UTI's as well...

    Which Cat Fountain do you use?

    We have a Drinkwell Pagoda fountain which works great, but one of the newcomers keeps knocking the center tower part over pretty much every day (he furiously shuffles his feet while simultaneously head-butting the tower :frustrated:) which floods the living room floor. Am looking for a...

    Has anyone had any luck with meds to prevent agression between 2 neutered males?

    I posted a while back re. many problems due to taking in a relative's 4 cats when we already have 4 of our own. Things have not been going well. Several of the newcomers are ganging up on our 13 year old, but the main problem is between him and the 6 year old male who is one of the 4 we took in...

    Question for people who work for rescue orgs

    In a nutshell, we have a close relative who is in legal trouble, currently incarcerated and will probably go to prison for quite a while. We have 4 cats of our own and took in his 4 cats 4 months ago when he was arrested, because it was either us or animal control. Things have not been going...

    Don't Know What To Do - Venting

    I apologize for the long email and complaining. I pretty much know this situation is hopeless and there aren't any solutions to this, except for the obvious ones. Because of a relative's illegal activity resulting in his arrest, we ended up taking in his 4 cats. We already have 4 of our own...

    Need Cheap But Nutritious Food Suggestions

    A close relative has gotten himself into huge legal trouble and we had to take in his 4 cats or they would have ended up at animal control and, as they are adults and one is diabetic, probably euthanized. We have 4 of our own whom we feed mostly very good quality canned food, but we will not be...
