Out of the blue on May 10 my landlord gave me a vacate notice. I have to be gone by May 31. We are still packing and putting our things in storage. I don't have time to trap my 5 feral kitties. I have traps set out but nobody will go near them and I'm running out of time. I have been feeding...

Has anyone heard of a cat being allergic to Probiotics? My cat has IBD and thought I would try a Probiotic. A few years ago I tried one but she seemed to have a reaction to it. I went Friday and picked up a different brand to try again. Since starting this one she is doing the same thing she...

My colony is having a herpes outbreak and I don't know what to do. Mama kitty has a runny eye and it's swollen. She hasn't been eating much all week and I just found out why. I saw her swollen eye yesterday. I used to give them L-lysine every day twice a day to keep it in check but they...

I was wondering if they are the same thing. I know my feral cats have a reaction to brewers yeast and brewers rice. I have been feeding one of my feral cats First Mate Chicken Meal with Blueberries since October. She has been itching like crazy and pulling her fur out in clumps. This is what...

I just figured out how much I'm paying a month in cat food and now I'm in tears. I feed feral cats who all seem to have issues with food. I also feed another cat who I think can't have anything with chicken , Turkey, Duck and peas. Then there is my indoor cat who has IBD and allergic to...

Has anyone that feeds feral cats always fed at the same time every single day? I usually never do anything or go anywhere if it falls during the time I normally feed the cats. I never go out to eat with family or go to their houses if I know I can't be back in time to feed at the normal feeding...

Am I the only one that is more stressed out when having animals? I'm not even able to find the right medication for all the stress and anxiety I have caring for my indoor cat and my small feral colony of cats. I have always been a depressed person with bad anxiety but it has gotten so bad since...

I think I might know why my 4 feral cats are scratching and pulling their fur out. It just dawned on me that they do this every year when they start sleeping in the shelters. Last month I cleaned all the shelters out and put in fresh straw and the 4 who sleep in the shelters are pulling fur out...

I have to cut back on canned food for my feral cats. I was wondering if one 13oz can of Friskies would be enough for one meal between 5 cats. I would then give them dry only for the evening meal. Right now I feed each one 1/8 cup dry and split two 5.5 ounce cans for the morning meal and then do...

I wanted to ask people who feed feral cats on a very tight budget. I live from pay check to pay check and even budgeting food for myself and 2 adult sons is nearly impossible. I can't afford things like toilet paper, toothpaste, laundry soap etc. When I first began feeding the cats we were...

I have some neighbors who have a little black cat named Shadow. She started eating with my feral cats in 2012. These people are nice people but Shadow does not like them and she eats over here twice a day. Back in March she started to lose weight and I started feeding her Wellness canned as I...

Peaches hasn't been feeling well all week. Friday I gave her Cerenia but it doesn't really help. I have a call into the vet but she can't get back to me until Sunday. I'm not sure if I want to get more of the Cerenia anyway because it doesn't seem to help her and she really does seem to feel...

I was wondering if anyone has a cat with this virus and are there any supplements I can give to help boost the immune system? I give them L-lysine twice a day but I heard the L-lysine does not really help with this type of virus. We just went through a bad flare up with several cats having...

My cat Peaches has had a swollen bottom lip for a week now. Her chin is also a little swollen. She is allergic to a lot of foods but nothing has changed and she has never had a reaction like this before when she did have problems with food. She can only eat Wellness Turkey and Merrick Duck in...

I took Peaches in last month to have her anal glands expressed and also had them trim her nails. I noticed the next day it was bleeding and thought it would be okay. I called the vet office a week later because it was still bleeding off and on. I would notice fresh blood in the morning. She only...

I feed my feral cats dry and canned food but this week they have all stopped eating for some reason. They have been eating dry Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Healthy Weight Recipe for 5 months now without any issues. For canned they get Friskies. One of the cats seems to be nausous  and will...

I made two nice shelters for my 4 feral cats in 2010, each one fits 2 cats. I have a raccoon that has taken over one shelter and now two cats are sleeping on top of the other shelter in the cold. I don't have any money to make this kind of shelter, all the materials were not cheap. Does anyone...

I have been feeding 4 feral cats since 2008, Mama cat and her 3 daughters. They have never had to hunt or search for food. They pretty much live on my front porch hiding in the shelters and flower beds. I got a vacate notice from my landlord today and have to be out of here by Sept. 30. I am on...

I have had questions before about  my kitty who has IBD with constipation. She was having flare ups about every 6 months or so but now they seem to be closer together. She is allergic to so many things that we really don't know what all she is allergic too. Her flare ups usually start with...

I took Peaches in Monday because she was not feeling well and had thrown up a couple times last week. She was given a vitamin B injection and some more Cerenia but she doesn't seem to be bouncing back as fast as she usually does. I did make a big mistake and missed 2 months of the vitamin B...
