    URI dilemma

    Hey there, So my family and I have been protecting and feeding a gorgeous stray we call Church (not that his personality matches that of the Pet Sematary cat). Recently, we took him inside as he injured his front leg, and was being beaten up rather fiercely outside. He's content being sheltered...

    Kitten's Sudden Behavior Change

    Hey all So I have a 6 to 8 month old neutered kitten I rescued named Bandit. This dude was quite the energenic fireball and needed constant movement, interaction and stimulation. Then, last week it was like a switch turned him off. All he really does is lay there flopped over or sleep. His...

    Odd Kitten Out

    Hey, so my dad brought home three rescued strays near the feral stage. Two socialized well, although they are still a bit anxious. The third is still a hissing, swatting, skiddish mess. She never attacks, and will let me pick her up. But the growling, crying, and hiding is persistant. At times...

    Stray Kitten Standing Out From Siblings

    Hey all. So my dad found three little kittens in some rubble. Two of them socialized right away. The third is not. I can't tell if she is sick or not - she hisses and growls at any touch or interaction, but does not attack. However, when I picked her up she howl-shrieked when her belly sides...

    Kitty Tummy/litter Box Troubles -help

    Hey all, I recently took in a kitty named Mau Mau. He's always had a voracious appetite - but for wet food only. He urinates very frequently, and quite a bit each time he does. However, his stool is grey and rock hard. I took him to the vet, who put him on a laxative I have been giving to him...

    Cat "Mel" is eating very little, showing signs of illness

    This may be a bit of a long one, so I apologize. I also apologize for having been away from the site so long -things got cray-cray. Years ago, I took in a stray who literally ran into my workplace. He was showing signs of illness and after he stopped eating altogether, I took him to the vet who...

    I recently took in a sickly stray that had made me home his home. I found out he is also FIV Positive, which is not a death sentence for him and I do not intend to make it one. Up until now, I have been nursing him back to health and providing him with care. However, he has taken a bad turn and...

    Cat keeping one eye shut after neutering?

    I took my cat Greg McMuprhy to be neutered Thursday. He also received a couple vaccinations such as Rabies, FLV etc. He's been rather lethargic and less than lucid, but I was told this was normal due to the anesthesia; however, I have noticed that his right eye cannot seem to open all the way...

    Huge vet issues

    I have a cat, ironically named Mellow, who is anything but when he goes to the vet. They have flagged his charts to not handle without heavy sedation. The problem is that they cannot see what I see, and his responses to painful areas etc., when he's blacked out. Is there anything I can recommend...

    Stray cat health concerns

    Hey all, New to this. Very new, but also very desperate, so I am willing to look foolish if the answers are obvious. I  recently took in stray I named Greg McMurphy because he was getting very sick outside and other cats were ganging up on him. When I got him to a vet, he tested positive for...
