    First time fostering mother cat and kittens

    Just wanted to give an update! All of the kittens have grown up healthy, spayed, and as of this week every single one has found their forever home! The mom is still with me until she gets spayed (there's a huge backlog for sterilization surgeries so she's on the waitlist for an indeterminate...

    Anyone with experience with cat diapers?

    Thank you for all the help Unfortunately Ferrix declined very sharply this morning. I was hoping for another several weeks with him, and even just a few days ago he seemed to be doing very well. I just talked to the vet and I made the call. I have a few hours left with him before we take him...

    Anyone with experience with cat diapers?

    The last week was stressful because this was all happening while I was still working fulltime, and I didn't sleep for 2 nights over the week because I had to get up in the middle of the night to do laundry and wash myself of cat urine. I think it being the weekend has helped tremendously since I...

    Anyone with experience with cat diapers?

    I did a local pet store run today! I grabbed some disposable diapers and pee pads for now. I placed pee pads on some of his most frequent problem spots and the good news is he went on one! I'm leaving the soiled pee pad for an hour or two before I change it so that the scent stays a bit, and I...

    Anyone with experience with cat diapers?

    Thank you so much for the links, and the guide helps! I definitely wasn't planning to keep him in a diaper 24/7 if I can avoid it, and anything that can also let him, poop will be ideal. I have a large playpen that can fit his food bowls, water fountain, a large litter box and a cat bed with...

    Hello TCS

    Black cats are definitely the best! I still remember as a kid, my dad was scared of black cats but then Ferrix completely changed his attitude heh The kittens are from my local shelter, so once they're spayed and have all their vaccines and a vet's seal of approval they'll be up on the...

    Hello TCS

    Hello! I joined this site a few weeks ago while overwhelmed with foster kittens, and I'm loving this community. I don't use social media, so when I needed help more specific than just articles and videos I can find online, this place was perfect My cat Ferrix is 15 and I've had him most of my...

    Anyone with experience with cat diapers?

    Thanks so much for the insight! That's a great tip about the ointment I'd love some more clarification on how the belly bands work, so it's great to have someone who has experience. The main thing I'm hung up on is that I'm still not sure how it functions on a cat. From what I understand, in...

    Anyone with experience with cat diapers?

    Thank you so much for looking into it! I keep seeing the bands brought up in articles about cat diapers, but with very little elaboration. I haven't been able to find any blogs or even just a youtube video or picture of a cat using one. I am a bit unsure about how it physically works, as from...

    Anyone with experience with cat diapers?

    My cat Ferrix has been urinating outside the litter box 2-3 times a day over the last week, and is honing in on things with my scent. The bed (I've gotten peed on while sleeping twice now) and the one spot I always sit on the couch are the two major offenders. Before anyone asks: yes, it is a...

    First time fostering mother cat and kittens

    My cat is vaccinated and perfectly healthy, so that's good to hear! Especially good since eventually I'd like to give them more space in my apartment, but I have no other separated areas to keep them away from my cat By the time the kittens outgrow a playpen they definitely would have outgrown...

    First time fostering mother cat and kittens

    I fell super sick and was bedridden all week, thankfully I had left the cats at the vet for a checkup so they kept the family for the week while I recovered. I'm picking them back up this Monday, and at this point they'll be about 3.5w old! I've been thinking about getting one of those large...

    First time fostering mother cat and kittens

    I just started fostering a mom cat and her 5 kittens at a little over 2 weeks old now. I went into this feeling like I was ready for anything, having binged all the videos and informational article I could find, but turns out I'm already overwhelmed with questions on some details I never...
