Long story... We are emergency foster for an estimated 10 month old cat. He was brought to vet clinic as a street cat with severe wounds. Cat was found to have multiple abcesses with necrotic musculature. He had drains placed for a few days then sutures up and transferred here for at home...
My head is spinning, trying to sort some things out. Our team of vets are grasping at straws. Fender was taken in as a fairly feral cat, never had vet catr. Believed to be in the 5 year ball park. He had a nasty delayed reaction to his neuter which led to extra surgery and a week long...
Fender has had his tube in and out and back in now for a week. His stomach was infected, but is healing well now. He got a bit rambunctious and managed to pull out the tube, while leaving the bandage perfectly in place he is staying Ina multi level, indoor, purchased just for him chicken coop...
My foster Fender (my avatar) has been battling anorexia for 9 long months. He would stop eating then restart without rhyme or reason. (Quick background, was feral and turned over to our group, he has been with me for 18 months that. I .That time was neutered, had a severe allerfia reaction to...
Taylor is about 1, was an indoor/outdoor, mostly outdoor cat when she came to us. I'm first to tell you I have next to no cat experience, so no clue how to fix this. She prefers to climb on the side of the litter box and perch much like a bird to poop. While it is quite amusing, she often flips...
One of my foster kitties had 10 teeth removed last fall. Long story short I've transferred his care from the humane group vet to my personal vet who in 30 seconds said I think he has bartonella. He came back as a 4+ strong positive. Picking up antibiotics tonight, she is trying to be able to...
This guy had been an ever evolving kitty. He's still fairly thin, so only weighs in at 11#, but is a large structured cat standing at 1-2" taller than all of the others. Do you think what we have now is what we are going to end with, as in can I officially classify him as for adoption as...
Surprise in my basement! Here is her background http://www.thecatsite.com/t/331443/stray-help-its-a-biter#post_4162778 when I had her at the clinic for initial exam multiple comments were made of the tuxedo cat. Does her coat markings hold to the definition of tuxedo? 2 people also thought it...
Wow, you start a little cat rescue and they are everywhere! We heard a strange noise and couldn't figure out what it was, fast forward a week, we went into the rarely used basement where we found a cat who had snuck in through a (surprise to us) broken window
Fairly certain it had been there a...
This cat is a silver color, not sure of the technical name, light blue? I have another foster that looks like a blue, but he is a bit different with a silver sheen to him
Anyway, my question is would he be considered a tabby? The reason I'm confused is if you look carefully in the right light...
We have currently 6 fosters, all from the same neglect/hoarding situation. The oldest estimated at 5 with scattered ages down to approximately 8 months. At first Taylor was very difficult, if we wanted to pet her it had to be done while she hid under the dresser. She had some medical issues with...
This is one of my foster cats (Squier) he came from a neglect/hoarding situation. He and his housemates were on the brink of survival, foraging for food as owners had no money to buy food. He came to us in October, has had basic care of treated for fleas, mites, worms and neutered. Steady, high...
Sorry for the multiple threads on all of my new fosters, they are an unhealthy bunch :(
Gibson (est 2 years old) had to see a specialist yesterday and have 10 teeth extracted including both upper canines. I asked for possible cause. They said most of his gums were retracted with too much tooth...
My foster boy was neutered 12 days ago. Everything seemed fine. Yesterday he became antisocial and I questioned if he was eating. By evening I spotted some drainage at sutgical site. After looking him over he ran under a chair, that's where I found him this morning. Very lethargic, and looking...
