    Transporting pet cats from Asia to Europe

    It would be great if anyone has any specific advice about taking pets long-distance from the Philippines to the United Kingdom, especially whether this is likely to be affected by the current pandemic. I've already taken care of the microchipping / blood test requirements (except for the final...

    Eye surgery for blind cat - could it work?

    Please don't read if you are squeamish or sensitive about eyes! My cat is happy and healthy, he just can't see. I'd be really grateful if anyone has firsthand knowledge that could help to settle this difference of opinion between two vets. What would you do? 2017: My cat Wilbur was found in...

    Can my cats get another rabies shot after just 4 months?

    We're starting preparations to relocate abroad, and one of the requirements is that our cats get a rabies vaccination *after* the date they were microchipped. We haven't had them microchipped yet, so have to arrange a rabies shot afterwards. They had their annual rabies shot in July, so is it...

    Bald patch on cat's side around bite or wound

    Hello, My (blind) cat has a bald patch on his side, surrounding what looks like a bite or wound. I hoped it would go away on its own, but I took photos about a week apart and confirmed that the bald patch is spreading. There are no other bald areas. If an expert knows what this is (worms...

    Seen A Roundworm. Can I Deworm Again After Just 6 Weeks?

    Hi everyone. I just want to check if I can/should worm a cat again when it hasn't been the advised 3 months yet (about 6 weeks). I just removed a roundworm today from a former stray/street cat, the second since her last treatment. Long version: I dewormed the local strays about 8 weeks ago...

    Female Stray Looks Very Fat/round After Spaying

    I'm hoping this is a common issue that someone can put my mind at ease about. We had our local stray females spayed a few months ago, and one of them has recently gained a very big and round belly. (It looks like she's pregnant, which is impossible). I don't think it's a diet issue, as it...

    Stop blind kitten biting

    I've read lots of articles about how to stop cats biting, but I'd be grateful if anyone has advice specific to a blind kitten (10 weeks). Wilbur didn't have the best start in life. He didn't have any surviving siblings when we first found him with his stray mother (two weeks), then when we next...

    Preparing home for blind kitten

    I've read through other posts about blind kittens here that have been useful, but I'm also looking for some specific advice about my situation, if anyone has the time to help. Thanks in advance. Our rescued stray (Wilbur) is about seven weeks old and currently staying at the vet, who's better...

    Philippines: Spaying pregnant strays

    Hi everyone. Sorry if this is on the wrong board. I live in the Philippines and planned to spay the stray female cats in my neighbourhood as soon as the little one we've adopted stops nursing. There are at least two females who we feed, and the stray population will become a problem if they...
