Hi all!
I am writing for the TCS blog and would love to hear your good and bad experiences with rescue work. My entry will be entitled the Highs and Lows of Rescue.
Your help is much appreciated.
Seldon has become my Kitty Ambassador of Good Will. Not only does he love Saffron and Sachi. He cuddles with them on the cat tree. He goes door to door talking to the other cats in seclusion.
My new foster cat Persephone and her 4 kittens are in seclusion and he hangs out outside their door...
My little kitten Renzo continues to worry me. He is 7 weeks and half the size of his siblings. He only has 4 teeth beginning to come in. He still has a flatter face and little ears. I have watched him eat and often feed him extra. I tuck him in my double tank tops to carry him around with me so...
One of the Lucia's kittens is very premature. Renzo was always the runt. Here is his photo:
Here is his sister Rosa's photo:
These were taken several days ago. But his ears are still down, his face is still flatter, his eyes are not blue yet and he is much smaller than the others. I am...
I took the photos with my iphone so it is not as good as a camera but the cuteness still shines through.
I need a simpler camera than the one I have for snapshots. Which I will get in the next few days.

The babies will be three weeks old tomorrow and I have not seen any waste anywhere. I know they must be going but I don't see anything.
My daughter said she saw a few drops of urine but I have seen nothing. I wash their bedding a lot and change it out in order to check but nothing.
When should...
Mary and Cleo are uninterested in eating for some reason. They give me their signals that they want to eat on schedule. SO that part is normal. But when I set the food out they eat some and then that is it. Not anywhere near their normal amounts.
Everything is else is the same. They are vocal...
I posted in the picture forum but I know not everyone visits there so I putting the link here:

They are doing well. All eyes are open and they are growing by leaps and bounds. She is such a protective Mommy. She likes her babies with her and...
My vet recommended to me that Seldon be isolated on his own away from the other cats for 2 weeks. He cries at the door. He cried so much tonight he was hoarse. I went in and cuddled him. My daughter spent time brushing him. He laid in my arms happily while I was in there and then when I left he...
I was thinking about raw food since it has been a hot topic on the board and wondered about what other raw feeders were feeding their cats? Why did you decide to take the plunge? How did you discover it?
I discovered it by researching before I got my cat 3 years ago. I did not go to raw...
I keep trying to add my photos to my cat pages but it keeps telling my files are too big. I am not sure how to decrease the photos from iphoto. I use a Mac.
I looked at the thread above but it doesn't help.
Seldon is the culprit.
Cleo was protest peeing outside of his box but Dr Elsy and Cat Attract fixed that issue.
I have taken in a stray who is now mine a female named Lucia. She just had a litter on Sunday and will be spayed when the kittens are weaned. Ever since she came he has begun to...
I caught Seldon with his head in my decaf iced soy coffee for the second time. He licked it! Then he went for more. My ex swore Seldon had had some of his coffee but I thought he was exaggerating. I knew he liked being near when I was grinding my beans but this is weird.
What to do with a...
I can barely contain my excitement! So far she has had 5! It is obvious who the father of some of them are. Giorgio the neighborhood rogue but some of the others look different. She is doing an amazing job! They are all plump and squeaking already. She is a little tired and her belly is still...
I have never done this before and I am seriously nervous. She is an accomplished pro. I have 2 of her kittens from the litter she had 8 weeks ago under my deck. The X rays showed 4 or 5. We go to the vet today for a prenatal check up.
I went on a nerve induced shopping spree and bought a ton of...
I have documented here how much Seldon enjoys the kittens. Saffron and Sachi adore him. He likes to spend time in their room. He is more interested in the kittens than the others. Mary likes to groom them but she is a strict disciplinarian and is absolutely no fun. Cleo sizes them up as too...
