Hi everyone. I haven't revisited this page since 2011 when I was pretty new to fostering and had some questions and I enjoyed reading and learning from some great threads on here. I took home a new foster cat from the shelter on MLK day because she was pregnant and tiny and so so sweet. This...

I just posted on a really old thread about my new foster kitty who has eyelid agenesis...thought I'd start a new one too because the other was from 2009. Has anyone had experience with eyelid agenesis? How much did surgery cost? Did you do just the cryosurgery to remove hair, or did you go all...

Hello! I've been so wishy washy about buying a cat tree, but I think I'm ready to commit. I foster cats, and have a few of my own. They are generally pretty darn playful, as most of them are young adults/teenaged kittens not yet adopted from this past kitten season. Right now they have one of...

A very concerning cat situation has just popped up. My friend and I found a little cat about one year ago. We took her straight to the vet, she tested negative for felv and FIV, got all her vaccinations and a good check-up. She was pregnant. A week or so later, she had some secretions, and when...

I foster cats for my local shelter. I've fostered lots of mama cats and kittens, and have had several pregnant cats give birth here at my house with no complications. Almost 2 weeks ago (it will be 2 weeks tomorrow, on Friday) I brought home a new cat. When I went to pick her up, I thought she...

I recently adopted a wonderful little kitten from the local animal shelter. She is gorgeous- an even cocoa brown all over. I know very little about cat breeds, but I see a lot of kittens volunteering at the shelter, and have never seen a brown kitten or cat before! I know she most likely not a...

I foster litters of kittens with mama cats for my local animal shelter. My current litter is currently just over 6 weeks old. This litter has had a rough time since the beginning. The mama cat is very very thin, and had a large litter (6 kittens). All 6 kittens were very small at birth- between...
