First I want to say a big THANK YOU to all that have complied so many wonderful resources in one place!  I have read, saved, and printed very many. I have a FLUTD male that recently blocked even after being on RX diet.  I am starting the slow move to raw.  And yes, he is the picky one.  The...

I have a 4 yr old male cat that had a complete urethral blockage.  ER vet trip. Unblocked.  Now home.  On Clavamox and 3 doses of Onsior (new Novartis NSAID for cats).  Diet change to Hills S/D to dissolve crystals.  I plan on letting that diet work then transition later to raw.   He is eating...

I know that TCS vibes are what gets many of us through tough situations. Please send some good trapping vibes my way for tonight. I am trying to get a small "family of ferals" that are being cared for behind a fast food restaurant. There are about 9 there and I have appointments for 6 in...

I currently feed Wellness in a rotation and am very satisfied with their products. I will continue using them. I found this on a pet food site and was curious. It's a truth in advertising thing?? The suit is regarding the "meat meal" ingredients in dry dog food specifically but dry cat food...

I am not sure the significance of this. Moses is 5 months old and rescued from owners that abandoned him outside as a small kitten. Was told I could take him and he had all shots. I got the vet records and he had NOT. So at 5 mo we are getting kitten vaccines. Since vet and vaccines last...

I'm looking for some advice on what I and my rescue friends can do. We take care of feral colonies around town. Numbers are finally getting stable due to our TNR efforts. We have spent much money (with pleasure) in getting these babies sp/neutered, vaccinated and medical treatment. Problem...

I posted about trying to introduce two sets of feral cats. Fast forward...the new male neutered 10 weeks ago has been spraying since being in the house. Easier to manage in the master bath he was in before, but now he is in transition bedroom with a window. He crys and howls sitting at the...

I feel lost. I have 3 ferals upstairs that I rescued. Trying to bring 2 more in with them. They are all from the same colony but it has been about four months since they have seen each other. I followed suggestions by putting the new ones in a bedroom, traded toys, bedding, and fed treats...

Everyone has been so kind in answering my questions. I don't know much about cats and need advice. I rescued three ferals several months ago and recently rescued two more from the same colony. One of the new rescues is a sibling to one of the old rescues. Will they remember each other? It's...

Still learning about ferals and need advice. Hubby built an enclosure for two of the ferals I rescued with no place to go and no chance of being adopted. The size is about 8'x14' outside and an inside of 6'x10' with a kitty door conecting. 1) Will this set the cats back any to move them to...

I tried searching and am unclear on some things. I never had cats in my life until I got these 2 orphans at a week old, now 3.5 months old and 5 former ferals. Can you help with food questions? *How often do you rotate foods? Do you offer different wet brand/flavor monthly, weekly, daily...

I hope I can convey this breifly without being confusing. I am new to rescue and TNR, started this past fall. Hoping someone with experience can guide me. The land on which colony is located is being developed. Already posted notices in vet offices, local adds, feed stores, etc. for barn...

I have two kittens orphaned from 1 week old and are now 12 weeks old. They have been on PetGuard canned turkey and rice. I would like to change wet food because every few cans will have small pieces of bone in them. Bones are cooked and small, but kittens lick plate and leave the bone pieces...

Forgive me if this is a silly question. I know what to do in a typical situation. I have three ferals that I rescued from a ditch where they lived. Area was destroyed so I kept them. They are ages somewhere around 4 yr old, 2 yr old and just under 1 yr old. They have been in a cat proof...

There is a bad resp. infection going around one ot the colonies. I really want to get this guy out for treatment. He is not eating because of the stuffy, runny nose so stinky food in a trap is not doing it for him. This is something I started doing only a short few months ago and I am not...

New roof is going on house and I have three ferals that are adjusting indoors. The noise will be awful for two to three days. I'm worried what this will do to my gang. I thought about playing music just a wee bit louder than I normally would. Any suggestions? I hate to set them back with...
