    Soft unformed stool and Metronidazole

    Hi, my boy is 12 years old and except for diabetes in remission and 2 pounds overweight, he’s healthy as far as we know. He takes Jackson Galaxy Complete Cat Probiotics every other day and 1-TDC every other day for his oral health (he had 11 teeth removed last year due to resorption and started...

    Dental Extractions - concerns after surgery

    Hi all, My 11 year old cat finally had some long overdue dental work done. This would have been done sooner, but he had difficulties with diabletes that we seem to have in remission. We delayed treatment because of his vets concerns over infection. Turns out he needed some teeth removed due to...

    Lost cat home... what now?

    We have a former feral who we cared, for while he was outside for 4+ years, when he finally decided it was time to become an indoor kitty only. He's been in the house for almost 5 years. And everything has been great. He's skittish around everyone except for me and my husband. With us he's a...

    Formal Feral First Vet Visit

    I’ll try to make this a short as possible (apologies in advance for the length), but I need some advice. I have a formal feral who’s taken us almost 5 years to finally bring into the house. He’s been indoors for over a year and has adjusted wonderfully. We trapped and neutered him 4 years ago...

    Feral inside for 2 weeks, but maybe not feeling well?

    Happy to report that since my last write-in for help, my little feral guy has decided that living inside beats being outside!! Yeah! I forced him to stay inside during our last 17 inch snowfall two and a half weeks ago. He was unhappy and cried for days (my last post), but… he wanted out. Once...

    Feral wants to go out in the snow.

    We have a feral that we've been taking care of for 3+ years. Long story (of course), but we've come a long way with him... he's finally comfortable enough to sleep in the house at night and on rare occasions stay inside for the day. Most mornings he leaves before we go to work (his request with...

    Spend the night in the house, litter box problems

    Hi Everyone, Been a few years since I’ve posted. Sorry in advance for the long story. A few years ago we trapped a feral (although most likely a stray), had him neutered and brought him back to his own room. Within a few days, wouldn’t leave the carrier, he refused to eat or drink and would...

    Finally had feral neutered. Need help!

    Hi Everyone, After a few ups and downs, we were finally able to trap our feral yesterday morning! First time for both of us. We've been feeding her for almost a year and have tried unsuccessfully to trap her a few times. But, yesterday worked. A little nerve-racking to say the least. We dropped...

    Feral (stray) Eating Inside the House

    Hi again everyone! We've been trying to trap a feral (stray?) for a while now, with plans on keeping her with us indoors after her vet visit/surgery. We've tried 3 times so far - trap ready (and she eats out of it), appointment at the shelter, toys and scratchy posts ready, but each time she...

    Bringing a Feral/Stray Cat Indoors

    Hi Everyone, Sorry in advance for the long post. I wrote a while back. We’ve been feeding feral for almost a year now. At the time, we sensed that she was a stray because her behavior was different from the other cats we’d seen in the yard. She didn’t get close, but didn’t run too far away. One...

    Bringing a Feral/Stray Cat Indoors

    Hi Everyone. So happy to have found this site. I'll try to keep this as short as possible, but I could use some advice. I will preference this with I've always been a dog owner. In fact, I've been begging my husband for a puppy for a few years. Never, ever thought about a cat. Right now we are...
