Our Ben is also in renal failure and he has been on a Science Diet wet food for a while. Ben does not like the kind you mentioned. Like your kitty Ben is very picky and presently give him K/D (small can) veg & Tuna///K/D Chicken and Stew (small can)//K/D pate w/ chicken 5.5 oz can. I alternate...

It is w/ much sadness that our Nutmeg who we have had since May 2006 when he was 1 1/2 yrs old passed away on his own this morning at 10:30 a.m. We left him w/ our vet hospital Tues. afternoon (yesterday) as he had gotten really bad and thought we were going to lose him when he was w/ us at...

We have a 15 yr old guy that has renal failure and we give him fluids every other day. Have had him since he was about 2 yrs old. He is doing okay and at some point his kidneys will fail. We had a kitty pass away in 2000 from renal failure and he lived 9 months by giving him fluids.

I am glad that we are retired because we can spend a lot of time w/ Nutmeg. Working would be difficult leaving him every day for hours.

Thank you

I had called yesterday to the vet ofc and asked that our vet call us first thing Mon. today. He did call around 8 a.m. and I filled him in on what had been transpiring. Nutmeg is still eating bits of wet food every day and drinking. Today he seems more active and my wife is spending a lot of the...

We had the 3 previous kitties cremated so they are always w/ us. One of our other kitties, Ben is giving fluids every other day as he has renal failure. Have been doing that since Dec. 4 2018. Ben was also adopted at the same time Nutmeg was and he and Ben are real buddies. Going to miss seeing...

Update Nutmeg oral ulcers. On Fri. Feb. 15 2019 he seemed like himself except for eating any dry food which he likes and eats all of the time. I was feeding him wet food which he eats little amounts at a time. Yesterday he was not being at his best. Today he ate wet food and I was giving him...

I had noticed for a few weeks our Nutmeg was having difficulty picking up and chewing his favorite dry food. He had just had his teeth cleaned this past Dec. 2018. We took him back to our vet this past Wed. and our vet of 7 yrs. put him under so he could get a good look inside his mouth. Poor...

We trapped a feral kitty in July 2011 that had been roaming our neighborhood for over a year. One day we got to feeling sorry for her (Sox) so we started to feed her. We had our home up for sale in Fl. so we decided to trap her when we saw she was pregnant and looked as if she was going to have...

We trapped a feral cat in Winter Garden, Fl. July 7, 2011. Sox as we call her had been roaming out neighborhood for over a year. We began to feed her early 2011 as we felt bad for her. I had originally figured she was a male until she had a swollen tummy one day. We had our home up for sale and...

There are all kinds of card board scratches for all of the kitties to use so Sox has plent of things to scratch. They are all good to use them also. I never make Sox uncomfortable as far as making her feel threatened. She will sit on this low table waiting for her wet food and looks at me so...

I would like to give an update on Sox the former feral cat we trapped on July 7, 2011. My original post is on 8/2/12. Sox has since come way out of her shell and is all over the house and is no longer afraid of my wife and I. She purrs loudly when I talk to her or she is around me. She will flop...

You should not feel guilty about putting Malte down as it was the last thing you could do to show you loved him so much. We have had to put 3 of our kitties down since 2000 and I know how it hurts and how much you miss Malte. He was sick and nothing more could be done for him. Just cherish the...

We also trapped a "feral" cat on July 7, 2011 in Fl. We took her to our vet to get fixed, checked out and micro chipped.  She had been roaming our neighborhood for over a year and we already had 4 indoor kitties and we didn't think we should get anymore. We started feeding her early 2011 and we...

I am sorry for you that the stray you were feeding has not been around for a few days. It is too bad your allergies would not allow you to bring her inside. There are just too many dangers for outdoor kitties and this is a risk for the outdoor cat. We have 5 and one was a feral we took in July...

Have a lot of patience and show lots of attention. It is amazing what a kind hand can do for an animal. We rescued a feral ourselves in 2011 and trapped it with a borrowed trap from a feline rescue.  At first she was terrified of humans and it was obvious she had never been handled by humans...
