    Newman back home

    Never give up hope.  Newman escaped from his home the very last part of May.  I did all I could to find him including going out several times a day calling for him, posting an ad at the local shelter, calling the radio station and posting it there area wide and going to the neighbors and letting...

    Feral adult male missing front paw

    Johney has joined the group of ferals that I'm taking care of.  He's missing his front paw and I'm assuming that he had a run in with a trap somewhere along the line before he came here.  It appears to be healed, not leaving any blood marks on the porch decking, and he looks healthy.  He's...

    To the people who are searching for their lost cats.

    My Poppy escaped sometime early Tuesday morning.  Somehow, someway the front door was opened and she got out.  I spent the day calling for her, going thru several wooded areas and no sign of her.  I called the local radio station and posted an ad.  I got a call from a neighbor who stated he had...

    Tiger T-one of my Woodbabies

    I lost Tiger T  to the highway this past weekend.  Even though she was aTNR she grew to trust me and would come up to the porch to be fed and petted.  I know that the life expectancies of the TNR's is always uncertain but that doesn't stop you from forming some kind of attachment to them.  I...

    Irrigating fang sockets

    My 18n year old had to have both of his upper fangs removed.  Brought him in yesterday for a checkup and found out from the Vet that both of the sockets were filled up with food.  I was told that I would have to irrigate both sockets twice a day or at least once daily.  Here's my question.  What...

    Excessive Sneezing-Feral Cats

    About a week ago, one of my feral tomcats started sneezing a lot.  Now, one of my other feral tomcats is sneezing also.  Mucous is clear, appetite is fine although they both look as though they have lost some weight but I'm attributing that to the fact that it is spring and the snow is gone and...

    Transferring from "holding crate" to transfer cage.

    At this time, I am using a large wire dog kennel for a holding and recovery room.  This way, I can capture the cat  a day or two ahead of time before taking it in to get it spayed/neutered.  I created an upper level for the lounging and feeding area and then on the bottom is the litter box with...

    Wet cat food

    Does anyone out there know of a way to keep wet cat food unfrozen during these dastardly cold days?  I'm feeding a colony of ferals, anywhere from 9 to 10 cats, and although I do have dry cat food out, during this weather I am trying to give them some additional nutrients to assist them.  I'm...

    Constipation/litterbox phobia

    Please excuse me if this was posted incomplete.  Sadie had a mega hairball which also caused to her to become constipated.  End result is that she will pee in the litterbox but will not poop in the litterbox due the pain she was experiencing from being constipated.  In fact, she hadn't pooped...
