We found out yesterday that My OJ has feline leukemia. no one else in the colony seems to have contracted it, we had all there boosters done... hopefully that will be enough to keep everyone else safe. I'm sad and my heart is heavy, scared I will lose him too... He is healthy for now, and that...
Need good vibes for one of my parents’ cats, Ray-Ray. We noticed about two weeks ago that he was getting a waistline. (very broad shoulders but his waist line was wasting away) the day of the vet appointment he started vomiting what looked like stomach acid, two or three times. Mom rushed him...
I few months ago I wrote about Casper in the Feral cats forum... he was sick, really sick. On October 12th 2009 at 12:48pm I made the ultimate decision to let him go. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, to hold him as they injected him. I wantedto yell out for the vet to stop, to please...
I Think this rings true of so many I know,
watching as one by one our Colonies grow.
I might be hungry but the cats are all fed
I can not sleep as they have taken my bed.
I'm a taker in of stray cats, I never intended to be
But I could not turn away, seeing they needed me
Its been 15 years...
Several years ago I began updating on the feral colony my mom and I cared for in Indiana... Itâ€8482s been almost 9 years since I first met Casper, the black ball of fluff that had been left behind by a neighbor. At first he was evasive, he was shy. But as time went on he started to trust us...
After Buster and Snowflake passed I thought i would never heal, I came here and was comforted by you all through words of prayer and kindness. I came back with more grief for Poe Poe and Lilly and Black boy and so many others who never knew the love that was awaiting them in my heart, and now, I...

Some of you may remember a post about Lilly Cat who was locked in my neighborâ€8482s garage and safely returned some time ago... a member of what seems to be our ever dwindling feral colony. On Friday morning When my mother and I woke we found that our Lilly had been hit by a car in front of our...
One on the few cats we had not yet had TNRd had kittens this morning. We were going to let nature take its course but there was an incident with some dogs and we now have momma and her two very young very small kittens in our feral room. The problem is, although momma let us grab her and the...
We have been doing TNR for about six years now. although our coloney is small on the larger scale, we have been successful with about 60 TNR's. (some of which turned out to be neighbors pets, oopps!) I was wondering what we need to do to get certified to do this. The state I live in knows of the...
I know many have written on this subject but I think I may have a combined behavior problem..... when I had to move back home with my four cats, momo and dads four took to the situation rather well, we thought everyone was adjusting well, but now six months later there are problems. Their...
I okay so I already know what has to be done and I feel terrible that I can't provide all that this guy needs but my heart is breaking... Othello came to us when Desdamona went in to heat the first time (about three weeks ago, we are still trying to trap her) He was obviously someones pet at one...
My persians hair is uncontrolable and she hates to be brushed where it counts, (underarms on belly) So I was thinking of getting her a lion cut or just a line cut to cut down on the matts. Problem is I don't know any good groomers around Indianapolis. Our dog goes to Animal arts but they don't...
just need to vent...
One of my best friends got a cat about a year ago. Sweets (the cat) was going to be abandoned by her previous ownes and Mel volunteered to take her. After many trips to the vet(Sweets was an ill kitty) and getting her spayed Mel moved out of her ex's apartment, but he won't...
many of you may remember my post about Lilly, how worried we were when she did not come for the morning feedings and then How we found her scared in the neighbors garage. Well..... this weekend Lilly Cat just walked in our house. So I have trapped her in a kennel big enough for a bull mastif dog...
Earlier this month our original free roamer Casper got a skin infection, I took him to the vets got the shot, the clavamox pills and brought him home. He healed, then it came back, so went to the vet, got the shot, got the pills, doing great right? Well... we think he brought home a viral...
Iâ€8482ve written before about our colonies. We have 14 indoor cats, several of which were once feral or free roamers and are up for adoption and several, which are our family pets. We have an outdoor colony as well. This post is for Lilly who has been missing for a few days. Lilly was born in...
Today, as I look out at our feral. freeroamer, stray cat colony, I am both sad and happy. I am happy that we have helped and enriched the lives of these animals. I am proud of all the vets, and clinics and others who have helped us over the years, I am gratful that we have been able to find...
This is my only purebreed. Alll of tour others are rescue, stry, feral, free roamers ect. So I was very happy when a friend gave Demi to me as a gift. I was told that her mom only wieghed around 8 lbs. top preg and her father (the stud) only 10 lbs. I woul dhave thought this odd, but demi is...
This was sent to me by Greg from Indy Freal as a much needed chuckle....
Dear Dogs and Cats,
When I say to move it means go someplace else, not switch positions with eachother so that there are still two of you in my way.
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The...
