Those labradoodles and others mixed are now designer dogs. It's sickening to think people are breeding mixed breeds when we already have millions dying in shelters everyday. Absolutely sickening.

In my state of Louisiana, right now 6/06, shelters are taking in at least 100 kittens/cats a week and 80% are being euthanized because there aren't enough homes for them. Total for the state is in the many of thousands!! We are still shipping lots of animals across the country, but thousands...

Too bad you're in Canada because I have a beautiful Birman (spayed) for adoption. She is a refugee from Hurricane Katrina. She's absolutely beautiful and oh so sweet. Please try to adopt from a rescue organization or a rescuer. As long as people keep supporting breeders, the overflow of...

I wake up every morning and go to sleep every night thanking the Lord for giving me what I need to do what I do. Without his help it wouldn't be possible. Thanks for the support. A lot of times people think people like me are "crazy." I tell them yea, crazy about the animals. ha!

Dear RBG: I have so many because of the rescue work I do. These are cats with health, behavioral or physical problems, that weren't adoptable. I find them throughout the city in my feral colonies, etc. They are my full-time job!

Hi: I haven't been to the board in quite a while. In the interim I've began feeding all my cats Life's Abundance cat food. I tried the others, i.e., Solid Gold, Wellness, etc., but I couldn't get all the cats to eat it. Life's Abundance is the only one they will all eat. Anyone out there...

I have 68 cats. I use Scoop Away. Find it the best in odor control, clumping and less tracking. I use the Multi Cat formula and the one with Crystals. The Multi Cat formula is less trackable.

I would like to know specifically where it is written that cats over the age of 1 are immune to FeLuk. I have buried 11 cats who had feluk, some exposed as kittens, others as adults. I have never heard that cats over 1 year have an immunity to this disease.

The kittens are fully weaned. She is happy with that. She can see them from her perches in the house, but only visits them temporarily to give them a kiss on the head. She'll be spayed as soon as she looks healthy enough. Right now she's way too skinny. I'm bringing her back to the vet...

I have three cats who exhibit this behavior. One carries anything and meows with it in her mouth. Then she drops it in her bowl of water. I have a 13yr. old with arthritis who walks around the house meowing loundly from room to room and I answer him and he's happy. I think he does it for...

I was feeding my cats Royal Canin Adult and Senior formulas. The problem is they were eating way too much because they liked it so much, especially the senior. I have a 9 month old that got hooked on the senior and she's now a butterball. I stopped buying it and have switched to ProPlan...

I don't breed cats and have very limited experience with mama cats. I have a mama cat who I rescued along with her 3 kittens. The kittens are 6 weeks old now. Mama and kittens have been doing great, eating, playing, etc. Mom tested negative for feluk/FIV and seemed healthy, with the exception...

I was surprised I didn't receive any offers of assistance from anyone. The local people came through and the council deferred the ordinance indefinitely.

Keep them confinded for a few days outside so they can get used to the noises, smells, etc. If you let them out too soon, they will leave and possibly make it back to where you took them from. I have had the worst luck trying to relocate some ferals, especially older cats. The kittens will...

Hi: I wrote sometime back about my city, Kenner, LA threatening to pass an ordinance to ban the feeding of feral cats. The city of Kenner has always been anti animal and have never done anything to help strays or homeless animals. I can't go into the whole sordid mess, but you can take my...

Tiger had to be euthanized. After she died I had the vet do an autopsy to find out why her 6 year old kidneys failed. The autopsy showed she had cancer all over her stomach. All of her lymph nodes were knotted together in her chest. I'm sorry you missed my message about her passing on the...

Author Annette Easdon permission to copy from PetRescue.com Dedicated to the kind and caring people who give the lonely ferals a little care, a little love, and a little hope. I sit beneath the bushes as she fills my dish each day, I only venture out to eat when she has gone away, I know it...

Glad you did!

God bless you Debra for taking him off the streets before he passed.

Dear Jeanie: Thanks for your warm thoughts. Like you, my Tiger cost me a lot of money before she passed on, approximately $800. Money is never in my decision as to whether an animal should be eutha. I'll sell everything I own before one of my animals dies because of money. I have my reasons...
