    Teeth issue/problem/question for my semi feral

    OK good to know. We are in HCOL area, may have to go a county over! Sad that I am homebound for now after surgery for a bit. I'll see what I can do. Much appreciated, and of course want to help Kitty asap.

    Teeth issue/problem/question for my semi feral

    Hi friends, thank you all who respond when I thought my sweetie had died, she vanished, as you have helped me give my kitty-angel KittyKat a precious safe loved life. She "ran away" and only returned after (i found out) a giant abcess had burst in her neck somewhere. Gone at least 3 days, i...

    My semi-feral is now sleeping alot and not eating her "beloved" wet food

    Hi all, I am posting here b/c my KittyKat has never been to the vet past being TNRed and who knows what else? I moved in to my current house, there were 3 young kittens, now down to just KittyKat, who is probably pushing 12 to 14 y.o. We redid our deck recently (3rd time, so no issues last two...

    Cat sneezing/wheezing again

    Ok thank you. I wll do this! Its just what seems like periodic sniffles and wheezing but she's worth it, thank you. I am guessing there are mobile vets who know how to deal with a feral who has never met one, other than getting her TNR as a kitty.

    Cat sneezing/wheezing again

    My darling feral KittyKat has been sneezing and wheezing (slightly) again. I am guessing it's allergies as this condition has come and gone in the past. She doens't have a vet and seems to be in excellent health otherwise, thick soft fur, sweet disposition, placid, friendly, etc. I'd like to...

    Moving... not sure I can take my feral. Not sure of best option

    Wow I read and re-read all the posts so far. What a difference this makes. It's so heartbreaking to have to walk away from a loved one, not knowing what will happen, after they have trusted you 100% and learned that people can be wonderful friends. I guess many of us people have these issues...

    Moving... not sure I can take my feral. Not sure of best option

    Thank you for your empathy, I am overwhelmed, not to mention that I love my KittyKat and will miss her dearly when I know I will want to talk to her as I do every day and comb her out and get her advice on things serious and trivial. She's so wise. But I have to think of her best interest, as...

    Moving... not sure I can take my feral. Not sure of best option

    Thank you, I think you're right, and I appreciate having the chance to lay out the dilemma. I will probably post again after I talk to the realtor and before I talk to her, about how to navigate asking her to take Kitty and also discussing integrating Kitty (who's set in her ways, of course...

    Moving... not sure I can take my feral. Not sure of best option

    I am having to move at last, due to medical reasons, I can't keep up my current place any more. (One maybe serious 2 operations needed.) Not sure where I/we are moving yet but considering a place an hour away in a community for 55+. Country setting. Here seem to be my choices: 1) Give Kitty...

    Flea treatment works fine - until I brush my cat!

    Thanks for thinking of KittyKat's well being. No, no more craziness or vomiting. If it happens again I will def. call a vet! I do think it was related somehow to the Frontline, even the lady from Frontline said perhaps some of it landed on her paw. Maybe some got on the seat. Idk but all seems...

    Flea treatment works fine - until I brush my cat!

    Just to update on the Frontline Plus. I used it a second time without incident... Btw, before I used it, I called the number on the Frontline box and talked to a representative. Someone picked up the phone right away, no wait time, and answered my questions. That's a nice surprise. She took...

    Flea treatment works fine - until I brush my cat!

    Hi cat nap, thank you for your empathy for KittyKat (and me) concerning how to proceed. I will report back after talking with Frontline (assuming they answer calls!) If not, I suppose I will try a dry shampoo for cats. I found one on Amazon. Your post was very helpful in directing me here...

    Flea treatment works fine - until I brush my cat!

    Thank you, you are so kind to offer this advice. I might try a spot cleanse with dish soap on the next round. My feral was the last of 3 siblings who I fed for 8 years (we moved into this house, they were kittens but the previous owner had fed them, so I took over.) They always ran away from me...

    Flea treatment works fine - until I brush my cat!

    Okay, thank you. It's strange it occurred three days after I gave her the treatment. She was fine right afterwards. Took a long nap. (As usual.) I held off on brushing/combing that area for three days. Then I groomed her there and she got whacked out. (Never before.) She recovered though later...

    Flea treatment works fine - until I brush my cat!

    I am using Frontline successfully on my feral cat- first time. I don't have a vet. Anyway, I applied it fine. My feral loves to be brushed daily. I waited 3 days then brushed her. She then got a little sick (vomited some blood, went a little nuts, then was ok a little later.) I'd like to avoid...

    Best flea/tick treatment (plus other parasites) non prescription?

    It says for cats over 1.5 pounds. My neighbor down the street has cousins to this feral Kitty, and she told me she only uses half an application as her cats (ferals, too) reacted to the treatment. She may have used Advantage... not sure. Just wondering if people normally just use the whole...

    Best flea/tick treatment (plus other parasites) non prescription?

    Hi My Frontline came today, It's my first time ever (so patience, please....) Kitty weighs maybe 7 pounds. Do I use the whole tube? Or just part of it? Thanks! A little scared but feel this is the year I need to do it... appreciate the support.
