Tonight we had to make a hard and quick decision. There is a group of ferals living near our property that our neighbors feed but give no other care whatsoever, and none have been neutered. So you can see where this has led..lots of cats, and several seem sick. We previously had taken in a...
We've had this cat for about a year, adopted him, he's probably about 2 years old. Up until 2 or 3 weeks ago he's been absolutely perfect with the litter box. Now he's peeing everywhere else. It started off being once every few days, today he's peed twice in the house. I don't think it's...
I'm planning to try to toilet train our two cats..and I want to start using a litter that is septic safe. I don't intend to dump any down the toilet, but with the insert (the litter kwitter system) I know some litter will accidently get in the toilet. So what would be the best for this? I...
So to recap: my husband and I found a young kitten we fell in love with (and named Whisper) and subsequently had to put to sleep b/c she had feline leukemia. She's the offspring of a group of feral/stray cats that live by our house. I want to start feeding them, neutering them, and testing...
As I posted on a different forum, I recently took in a kitten that I'm fairly certain was the offspring of the group of strays my neighbor feeds but are not fixed or vaccinated or anything. This kitten ended up having feline leukemia and had to be put down So now I'm concerned about this group...
As in the post below, we had a small kitten wander into our yard yesterday..full of fleas, dried who knows what on her coat, and her eyes all watery and mucousy. Anyway she seems much better now that we've gotten the fleas under control..she grooms herself and her eyes are somewhat better. A...
So we found a kitten in our yard during our July 4th cookout. I'm not too familiar with kittens (mainly i've had adult cats) so I'm not sure of her age (I think it's a she) but she's tiny. We think she's the offspring of a group of strays my neighbor feeds (but aren't fixed). She clearly...
I got my stray I found (now named Zoe) spayed. Anyway her incision is only about a half inch long..is that normal? When I got my last cat spayed (which was probably 5 years ago) the incision was several inches long. But that was an adult cat, this stray is still pretty small. Anyway is this...
I found a stray kitten living outside the hospital I work in, in the parking lot! Apparently she's been there for awhile b/c some coworkers have seen her before. Anyway my whole family fell in love with her, so she's staying! I'd guess she's somewhere around 3 months old..she's bigger than...
I don't know if anyone remembers, but many months ago I was on here looking for help with a stray cat I had found, Waverly. Everyone answered all my questions and helped alot, and I wanted to say thanks. Because of your guys help, Waverly is healthy and happy now living with me at my new home...
Who, it turns out is NOT pregnant! I took her to the vet today to have it verified and he sat there and felt her stomach for awhile (much to Waverly's annoyance) and pronounced her not pregnant. What a nice piece of news! I'm so glad I didn't have to make a desision about what to do with the...
I have a problem. I have been feeding a stray cat who I've named Waverly for the past few months. She was gaining weight, which I at first thought was just cause I was feeding her alot but now I think she's pregnant. Her nipples have gotten alot bigger. I plan to have her checked by a vet to...
There is a stray cat (who I've mentioned before) who is really sweet and I've been feeding. She lives outside my apartment. She's become very trusting of me, and it's obvious she wants to come in my apartment. Tonight, for instance, it was raining, and the second I opened the door she comes...
For a long time I have been interested in getting a Sphynx cat. Although I would not getting one for at least another year, I am doing my research now. I know that pedigree cats are very expensive, and I was wondeirng, does anyone know of a way to get one a little cheaper? I'm doubting that...
OK the kitty I thought was stray, it turns out she belongs to my neighbors, but escaped and is scared of them and won't come near them. So they told me I could have her and take care of her. However, I found out she's not spayed and doesn't have shots. Do you guys know of any ways to get free...
I posted this in another forum but thought this was a good place for it as well. I found a stray cat outside my apartment complex who is very skittish and afraid of people. I've started feeding her and giving her attention so she likes me. I'd take her in but my roomate's allergic to cats so...
I need someone's advice. I recently found a stray cat who lives outside my apartment building. I cannot take her in because my roomate is highly allergic to cats, and don't know anyone else who will take her. Also she's very skittish and afraid of people, so she won't get near most people...
