Sad News.........."Gray Baby" didn't make it through the storm, and "Curious George" was just found dead in the garage. I had noticed he had not been seen for a couple of days. We placed a wheelbarrow inside the garage against the inside wall of the garage and lined it with foam and an old quilt...

Denise, You ask about my handicap. I inherited a disease called "polyscystic kidney disease or in the old days it was called "Bright's Disease". I am in end stage kidney failure with about 12% function left. I will be going on dialysis soon. This coupled with dibetes and arthritis and a anerysum...

My daughter tells me I am nuts to care so much about "my God's Little Creatures" but it is sooooo good to see I am not the only nut. I am in good company. I care for 6-8 and I also feed twice a day from my back deck. I made winter houses out of sterafoam coolers. ( duck taped the lids on and...

Just went out with a little warm milk and all my babies are there except for the tiny gray one. It was the littlest one in the bunch and I am worried about that one. I have always called it "Gray Baby" because it was so little. The others appear to be okay and were happy to see me.

Today the sun came out and I was happy to look out and see all my little friends. They had been hold up inside the garage and came out after we got the driveway shoveled. The drifts are so high they haven't been able to find their way around the house to the deck. I placed a bowl of food at the...

We have 36 inches + with 6-8 foot drifts. I have only seen one cat all day. My daughter cleared off the back deck several times and we placed a plastic ben sideways and put the food inside to keep it was getting snow. I have watched but only seen the one. I assume the rest are either in the...

I haven't been online in a while...Kids gave me a computer for xmas so I am back in business. We have a blizzard comming. I am worried about my 7 little friends that I watch over. Our weather has been so bitter. I feed them twice a day but they won't let me get near them. I know they go into...

I live on the south shore of Massachusetts (Fall River area) I called the MSPCA in Brockton, Mass and told them what I was dealing with. They said they had no funds for "special" cases that they only do routien cases. I called a second vet and his price was $275.00 for echo gram and $120.00 or...

I was on another thread but decided to make a new one. I have two little manx sisters, one with a tail and one without, both about 10 months old. Last Friday we took them to the Salvin Clinic in our nearby town to be spayed. They did Smokie Jo and she is recovering nicely. They refused to do...

Well, this morning was the day Smokie Jo and Samanthia was suppose to have their little operation. We took their food and water away at 8:00 last night and this morning they were not happy campers. They wanted fed and screamed all the way to the vet. Smokie Jo stayed and I am waiting the...

Thanks for all your support. I worry more about Samathia "sammy" because she is my baby. The kids found her abandoned before her eyes were even open. I bought milk supplement at the cost of $7.40 per 8 oz and feed her by bottle. I stimulated her so she could learn how to go to the bathroom by...

This morning I was watering my flowers just outside the front windowes and my Sammy was up on the window seat inside. I sprayed the window and scared her to death. She took off and hide under the bed all day . Tonight she came out from under the bed but wouldn't leave the room. I didn't think it...

What I am asking might appear a stupid question but is there a shot or type of birth control for cats to keep them from comming into heat. My daughter had a cat( like my Sammy with a hole in the heart) but she was unaware of the problem. She took her cat to the vet on her way to work and was...

I have a question. Smokie has an appointment for her little surgery to be fixed. (Needless to say she is driving us all crazy ) but Sammy was born with a hole in her heart and the vet told us that they hoped it would close by the time of her first heat. Sammy is just comming out of the first...

I just dropped in to let you all know that my coloney survived the awful New England winter we had. I wasn't able to trap my two mama cats and the big black manx ended up haveing a batch of kittens early but I don't think they survived. She was really big...then one day didn't show up and the...

We still have cold weather here in southern New England but it is not as bad as it was. I was in the hospital for 5 days and my daughter , who said she wouldn't have anything to do with feeding them, came through for me. My two lady kitties are still comming to eat every morning on my deck...

Laurie, Thanks for all the kind words. I really appreciate the help. I have a question for those that live in cold climates. I have a fallen tree down at the back of the property. I noticed my gang cuddle up around that fallen tree so IF I found somebody to take a tarp and throw it over the...

Weather update: It was -8 this morning with a 45 mph wind. We have a few inches of snow on the ground that is now frozen. I let my Doxie outside and he was out less than 3 minutes when he just layed down and wouldn't get up. I had to yell at my daughter to go out and carry him inside. It is...

Our temps have been lower than that the last few days and my little ladies were still on my deck this morning. Tonight and tomorrow is going to be rough on them but I have done all I can. Massachusetts has closed schools across the state. Temps under zero with chill factor of 45-50 below tonight...
