I have been unable to reply to people's PM's on either my desktop or cell phone for the past week. Can you please help me with this problem? I've had a lot of problems since the change of site format. Can you please help me to resolve this one? (Not sure where to post this request for help, and...

Before my beautiful feral, Muffin, passed away, he brought one last kitten to me to care for. She just came home from the vet clinic this morning. She is healthy and recovering from the spay and vaccinations. I named her Cupcake. She has his stripes, eyes, and large pink nose. Please send...

Four and a half years ago, a black and gray striped feral cat allowed me to befriend him. I fed him each day, and gradually he allowed me to sit right beside him. He loved it when I talked to him and sang to him, and I made a special song just for him. He loved nature and his freedom to run...

I intend to post something on the "In Memory" page, but I wanted to post something here because so many of you have heard me tell stories about my beautiful feral, Muffin, and I wanted to let you know he passed today. The past few days he developed some kind of infection in his mouth, probably...

It happens every January or February--my feral cat, Muffin,  takes off for 3-4 days, then returns exhausted, sleeps and eats a lot, and then perks back up after a day or two. This time around, Muffin returned last Saturday and was really exhausted, hungry, and thirsty, and had a minor scratch...

My beautiful 15.5 year old Siamese cat crossed the Rainbow Bridge last night after a long battle with kidney disease. The vet had suggested euthanasia 4 months ago, but I didn't feel it was time yet--and with the subcutaneous fluids I gave him, he had four more good months with me and his cat...

As many of you know, I have 5 cats indoors and 1 feral, Muffin, outdoors. Long story short--4 years ago, when I didn't know the difference between a feral or a stray, I trapped Muffin and took him inside into a spare room for 3 days. I should have taken him directly to the vet to get neutered...

I'm a regular participant on the Strays and Ferals forum, and this is my first time posting here. My 15 year-old cat, Chablis, has had hyperthyroidism and on again off again kidney issues for about 4 years. Two years ago his labs indicated middle stage CRF, but then a year later, his labs were...

I ask for your prayers and vibes for my beautiful feral boy, Muffin. He's been walking slowly the past week and today I noticed a definite limp. I don't see any obvious injury on his feet or legs. He took off into a brief jog when I startled him, but it was an odd moving jog and he was clearly...

Raccoons have always been a part of the wildlife on my block because there are patches of woods around us. Over the past half dozen years, there have been at least 3 raccoons who were out during daylight and appeared sick, and my neighbor shot them and called animal control--so there is a...

Weather anxieties I'm worried about my outdoor feral, Muffin. It's getting frigid and cold, with more ridiculous sub zero weather heading our way for at least the next week. He seems to me to be stressed and skittish and  cold. He doesn't have URI symptoms and I don't see any injuries, but he...

My recent rescue, Sonny, had very bad flea and parasite infestations and was on Pancour, Metronidazole, and Drontal. He's had two doses of Frontline, mostly recently two weeks ago. He has become increasingly itchy and scratchy and whiney.  I keep combing him with a flea comb and see no live...

In another thread, I posted the story of Sonny, a stray I rescued from a group of semi-ferals who roam around my work campus and the neighboring blocks nearby. I was initially concerned about a starved looking black and white cat, so about 3 weeks ago I started leaving food out between bushes of...

There is a very skinny stray cat outside the campus where I work. I've noticed him several times over the past few months, but the other day I was alarmed by how boney he appeared. I asked a neighbor on the block about him, and he said the cat lives under his porch, but no one feeds it or takes...

I'm interested in whether any of you have ever consulted an animal communicator/psychic to communicate with your feral or non-feral cat, and if you feel there was any reality to the experience. A family member of mine is studying reiki, and last summer gave an intriguing reading on my outdoor...

Wednesday at 11:30am, while I was in the parking lot of a mall, I saw a white cat walking around underneath cars and vans. It was periodically crying, and appeared skinny and very hungry. It also had some old wounds around its head, and the fur was disheveled in the back (probably due to the...

Here we go again. Next week temperatures will 4 degrees at nite, not counting wind chills, followed by  a long spread of days in the low teens.  I'm wondering whether to leave Muffin's house as it, or to order a heating pad to put in it  beneath the straw. I want the most protection for him...

Just checking in because I know I wasn't the only feral cat owner freaking out the last few days with worry. Muffin hunkered down into his cedar house coming out only to eat. I guess it must have been warm enough despite the lack of a heating pad or device. It has straw in it and a mylar sheet...

on top of it in their cat shelter? I have a thin mylar sheet on top of a folded blanket in Muffin's cedar house, and it's filled with straw. We're going to be getting temperatures in the -5 zone a few nites next week and I want to take every precaution to keep him warm. I have another small pet...

I have a cedar house for my feral, Muffin, on my porch and unlike last year, he's really made his home inside of it. It's been very cold and snowy since mid-November for most of the time in Western PA, and I've noticed that he's spending most of his time inside of his house, coming out to eat...
