    Just a few hours old.....

    Hi there It's been a rather long time since I've posted here - I actually have not had to. Tonight is a different story..... I went to class tonight and DBF was standing in the yard holding something tiny in his hands. He was out feeding our cats and I thought he was playing with something...

    Mosquitos on my feral kittys :(

    Hello all! It's been quite a long time since I have posted on this site. We moved last year after spending a year living with my parents building our home. We successfully moved our feral family with us and put them in their kitty condo to get used to the new home site. All are well and we...

    Hercules came home last night!

    We moved in with my parents on July 1. We have 7 feral cats that have lived with us outside and then we also have Sunny, who was a former feral kitten that the others hated, so he came in. We moved our lovely little family out to the country with my parents while our home down the road is...

    Whew, Glad that's over!

    Well, we have finally moved and have all of our feral babies with us. The two tamest (Blondie and Zoey) were the last and hardest to get. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to get them and finally, on our last day, we caught Blondie. She's the mother of two Al and Hercules and is our...

    We are moving with 7 ferals!

    We closed on our property today. It is completely barren and we have to put electric, well and septic and also a doublewide on it. This will take 4-6 months to do so. My father lives down the street and has asked us to move in with him for that time so that we can save up the money (rather...

    Tiki needs a new, loving home

    We need to find a new home for our Quaker Parrot, Tiki. He is almost 4 years old and is a great bird. Unfortunately, he is VERY loud if he doesn't get constant attention. This is quite a problem since I've gone back to school and spend most of my time TRYING to study. DBF is working a job...

    What is the best way to relocate ferals?

    DBF and I are in the process of purchasing a home of our own. We really think that the kitties will like having an acre to run and play on. How do we go about moving them? I can't very well leave them as we love them, there's also the issue that for the babies, we are all they know. They...

    He's doing fine now, if only I could get him out of my closet!

    Star went in to be neutered and he was having a hard time coming off of the anesthesia. I had some concerns that he might be blind, however, he's just fine. I let him out of his carrier (in my spare bedroom) and he's decided that he wants to hide in DBF's scarry cluttered closet. I CAN'T GET...

    The gang is home and I'm concerned about 1

    I took Matilda and her babies, Mango, Joey and Star to be spayed/neutered. Star is the only boy in the group and in my previous experience with boy kitties I know that they recover more quickly than the girls. They also had their rabies shots. The girls were rearing and ready to get out of...

    Homemade Kitty Food?

    Sunny has always been a fan of Beef, Chicken, Turkey, and the Beef/Chicken mixture. I have spent an arm and a leg on canned foods for him. He has stopped eating his wet food and now just wants to eat the gravy He's an "anything goes" kinda cat and has always been eager to try anything that I...

    How do I discipline a kitten whose so adorable?

    I'm at a loss. I have taken little Sunny and put him in the bathroom no less than 6 times today. He is insisting on climbing the birds cage and I told him that if he did it again, I would put him up, as he hates being locked away from everyone. This is something that he doesn't normally do...

    Yep...He's back from being neutered!

    Sunny came back from being neutered at 4pm today. He was pretty groggy in the car, but he perked up when he saw that he was home (15 minutes later) He wanted to eat right away since he missed his breakfast and lunch so I fed him a little at a time so he wouldn't get sick to his stomach. I got...

    Sunny's getting neutered tomorrow. What can I expect?

    Little Sunny has an appointment for 7am tomorrow to be neutered. He's normally a wild and crazy little kitten and he's absolutely in to everything that's not nailed down in the house. We love and adore him the way that he is and it sure would be a shame to have his larger-than-life personality...

    Update on our kittens with eye issues

    Just an update on the kittens with eye issues in our colony. I was able to get in touch with a woman from a rescue group who told me to use Lysine, Echinacea and Vitamin C supplements in the cats/kittens food. I also ordered the Teramycin ointment for the babies eyes (which she also said to...

    Her Eye Looks Terrible. How can I help her?

    We have a feral girl named Al. We have been caring for her since May 2006 when she was born (along with her sister and brother and mother). Out of all of our ferals, she is the only one we are still not allowed to touch - AT ALL. They were all fixed and given their shots and vaccines at 5...

No mater where the storm hits, we are going to be hit pretty hard with at least heavy rains and winds. We have a family of 3 feral cats that we have had the pleasure of taking care of for the...

    His test is back - Little Sunny has Bartonella's Disease

    I just received a call from Sunny's vet regarding the Bartonella's disease test that they ran on him on Monday. The vet said that out of 11 possible strains of the bacteria, Sunny appears to have the one that clears with his antibiotic. She is checking with an internist to verify this and will...

    I think Sunny needs a Drinkwell fountain from Petco

    I am always having to remove Sunny from the bathroom sink before I can brush my teeth or even during brushing my teeth. He loves to drink from the water faucet. I don't notice him touching his water bowl much except for when it's fresh & cold from the refridgerator. I have been researching...

    Can kittens be twins?

    There is a mean feral tortie that has invaded my babies space outdoors and she has 3 tiny kittens. There is a gray and black striped one (so adorable) and two that look just like their mother. From what I can see of them (without having my eyes scratched out) they have the exact same marking...
