@Alldara and @Furballsmom Thank you so much for these suggestions!

We currently have a 6-cat household in a rural setting. The first two are blood brothers named Declan and Keefe that we rescued as motherless 5-week olds 2-1/2 years ago. Then we rescued a homeless girl named Lily, also around 2 yrs old, who moved onto our property the following year. Next...

Thank you so much, @poolcat ! I actually do have some gabapentin that I could use, and I'll look more into Credelio. Thank you. These are exactly the kinds of suggestions I need. 🙏

Help! I posted on here last week when I was trying to rescue a young stray who had moved onto my property, who then disappeared after yet another bigger stray scared him off. We ended up first trapping the bigger boy and getting him neutered/vaxxed, and the next night, trapped the little one...

@Kwik Wow! The members of this thread must have been giving off some psychic naming vibes to me! Your Max is absolutely adorable. What a face!

@Norachan What are the chances?! I love that you have a Fynn! And he's beautiful! Thanks again, everyone. I'll report back about how this all develops.

Here's Finn settling in to indoor life when we first got back. (Now, unsurprisingly, he's hiding.)

@KittyCat_chitchat I'm pretty surprised it's all turned out this way so far. I had no idea it would when I first posted my initial question. :yess:

Thank you, everyone! I'm writing with the update that the little one is in fact a male, and the vet thinks he is around 6 months old! Poor little one! I am thanking the heavens that he returned to us. He's now neutered, vaxxed, etc. And he is now Finn Matteo! We are definitely keeping him...

Thank you, @tabbytom ! I will send an update here about how it all goes and if we end up keeping them. Here are some photos from outside. The black & white tuxedo is the little one. We got shots of her on a trail cam to monitor her comings & goings, but there's another blurry shot here of one...

Thanks again, everyone, for the advice and feedback. It has helped me so much through the process. Last night, we trapped the bigger boy and got the trap inside a warm room in our house. Success! After we got him in last night, about an hour and a half later, the little one suddenly...

Thanks so much for all of your support and advice. I get so anxious around this stuff that I really need to bounce my plans/actions/questions off of others who are more experienced. I appreciate all of your feedback! I trapped 2 strays last year who had come to our property and we adopted them...

I live on 5 acres in a rural area. A young cat (looks like an older kitten, maybe around 10 months old) showed up on my property about 2 weeks ago. It started coming to my porch every night for food and I left a my garage door a crack open for it to be able to take shelter, as it's starting to...

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to call them now to find out. Thank you, Jenny

I just wanted to send an update, almost 2 months later, that Lily has become the biggest mush in the world with me. She loves rubbing her head all over my face, climbing up into my hair, and soliciting kisses from me on her forehead. She's playing a lot with her fur brothers now, and is slowly...

I just caught sight of my 1.5-yr-old cat's lower gums in good light today, and saw that he has what looks like a swollen bump on either side of the lower jaw, behind his canines. Is this part of usual cat anatomy? Or is this something to be concerned about? I can't seem to find the right...

Hi JustJoe. I'm sorry they found this on your boy's visit. My baby Fiona was on Pimobendan, along with other medications, like Clopidigrel to prevent blood clots, for her bad heart issues. We saw a heart specialist (for ongoing appointments) as soon as we discovered something was wrong with her...

Phew! Reassuring to hear from everyone that this seems normal. As long as it's nothing to be concerned about, I'm glad she's hiding/sleeping all day because that means she's not endangering her incision and is healing. Thank you all for the input!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your feedback! I've only ever rescued very young boy kittens before, and adopted one girl straight from a shelter who had already been spayed well before she came home, so I have no idea what to expect/what would be normal for a 1.5-year-old girl. Hearing...

Thank you for your message. I'm feeling really neurotic about her every emotion. I'm an empath and it's driving my guy crazy in this scenario because I'm worrying about everything! Your message and emojis made me feel better!
