    Hi, all. it's been a while since I've been on The Cat Site. When I first joined this site back in 2014, I had a pregnant stray and you all gave me wonderful advice. I still have the cat, but all her kittens were adopted back then. Now, for the first time in YEARS, I've got another pregnant...

    Diaphragmatic Hernia in Kitten

    My nine-month old rescue, Lord Chesterfield of Chocolate, was hit by a car two months ago and wound up on my sidewalk, which is how I ended up with him. At the time, he had a broken jaw and head trauma and was in such bad shape the vets didn't think he would make it. I was told of the...

    New kitten with digestive issues

    I have a good deal of experience with cats, so I fostered two sweet five-week-old Siamese-mix kittens for a rescue recently, and as my donation, I took care of the vet visits. Two days after I got them, the kennel was full of diarrhea tracked everywhere and running down the leg of the smaller...

    Lame Cat And Litter Box Issues

    My latest rescue Jed is lame. I caught him a month-and-a-half ago, but it took me nearly two years to catch him, although he became friendly with me, but would not go in a crate. Nearly a year prior to catching him, he injured his foot. He was hobbling and could not put weight on it. This was...

    Cat's eyes look strange - third eyelid showing, but cat not visibly sick

    My cat, Chaucer, is a 4 year-old neutered male. He has a history of colitis and cystitis, primairly due to stress, according to the vet.  However, I believe there is something very wrong with him that may have nothing to do with these two things.  His eyes started looking strange about a week...
