    Still straining to urinate in the evenings 2 months after blockage

    Gray Boy is estimated to be around 13 years old, and he had no known issues (other than a high liver value) when he suffered a urinary blockage 2 months ago. He was sent home with buprenorphine, Onsior, prazosin, but recovery was slow. He had struvite crystals so he was put on a prescription...

    One liver value is high, maybe cancer?

    Hi all, a couple months ago I wanted to get my cat a much needed dental, but when the vet saw his blood results she didn't want to put him under anesthesia due to a high liver value. ALT was 200, then on his next blood draw 200 again, then today actually up to 215. None of the other values are...

    Male Or Female?

    Hi all, This cat showed up recently at my colony. Is this a neutered male or a female? I haven't been able to get very close.

    Too sick for dental work?

    My semi-feral kitty Pumpkin has not been herself. She no longer plays, she doesn't eat much, and she won't come up to the house anymore. Her fur looks all disheveled like she does not groom as much, and she is shedding a lot. Also, I watched her go last night, and it was just a bit of diarrhea...

    Is it bad that my cat is suddenly a picky eater?

    Pumpkin is 5 years old, and I have had her since she was around 1. She is a former feral and would literally eat anything I put in front of her. Lately she has been very finicky. I normally feed 4health wet food, and they have few flavors. I figured she was getting tired of it and needed some...

    4health now has affordable grain-free wet food

    4health (Tractor Supply brand) is now available in grain-free wet food. It's not perfect, but it's affordable at 69 cents / 5.5 oz. can. My cats do well on the 4health brand, such beautiful coats after switching from Meow Mix and the like. I've been feeding the regular 4health canned food (with...

    Cat peed blood after switching to grain-free 4health

    Last night my 3-year-old tortie girl peed on the floor a little. I wiped it up and was shocked to see it was blood. :( I'm really curious if the cause could be related to her food. I've been feeding 4health, dry in the morning and wet at night. I've been happy with 4health because it made her...

    Better to abandon or better to relocate?

    I know this sounds cruel, but let me explain the situation. I moved out of a place two years ago and was faced with the decision of what to do with my two outside cats (one semi-feral and one completely feral). My parents didn't want us taking them, and I knew it would not be kind to the ferals...

    Where do you get your straw bedding?

    I am trying to improve my cats' shelter. I have read many times that straw bedding is the best option for feral cat shelters, being preferable over things like blankets and wood chips. I don't know how to get straw, and I live in a rural area! I have looked in pet stores and in the local Tractor...

    Stray moved her kittens to my porch...should I intervene?

    Unfortunately I found the remains of a kitten on my front porch today. :( A neighborhood semi-feral recently showed up to my house pregnant, and I suspected it might have been hers. Later on I heard some crying and discovered her on the back porch with 3 kittens. I think they are around 2 weeks...

    Stray in Wal-Mart parking lot

    I saw a kitten around 3 months old in the Wal-Mart parking lot at midnight. He/she looked just like my own semi-feral, black domestic longhair with white feet. I wanted so much to catch this cat, bring it home, and at least find a home for it if I don't keep it myself. I even had the cat food...

    Cat swats at hands

    A little tortie recently found my place, and I'm keeping her as an outside cat since she is semi-feral, is friendly but will not be touched. I do get my cats fixed, but unfortunately she arrived pregnant, and she is now eating a ton of food. Whenever I put the food down, she swats at me. It...

    Vibes for Fluffer

    I don't post much here but have been reading a lot. I am taking my little semi-feral Fluffer to be spayed in the morning. She is a sweetie with me but extremely skittish. It's her first vet visit, first time in a cage, and even first time being inside. I feel so bad about what she has to go...

    Want a better life for one stray cat..

    This is Fluffer. I used to care for a colony of stray cats until I moved away to college. My mom & sister cared about the cats too and fed them in my absence. That was until my dad hauled them all off to some guy's house. I don't know where this is or how they are...I was and still am...

    What to feed?

    What can feed a cat I've found if I don't have any cat food? I'm a vegetarian, so I don't have any meat either. I can't keep the cat because pets aren't allowed in my dorm. What can I do to help the stray cats I find on campus? I know some people say not too feed, but I'm just wondering about...
