One of my feral cats, Snicker, suddenly went blind and from what I could find out online it seems as if it something called "Blind Quiet Eye". Snicker got this suddenly. I had seen him a couple of days ago and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, although it was at feeding time and there...

It started about two months ago with an awful light brown horrible smelling diarrhea from two cats. Now it has hit everyone in the colony of 50 cats. It seems to stop and start, I really don't know what to do. Is there a colony caretaker here who has gone through this? If so, what was the...

I was doing the night feeding which I do in the "feeding room" which is a part of the old garage when a feral came through the cat door and panicked when he/she realized he was inside!!!! That was last night. He scrambled up to a high cabinet where he has sat all day crying intermittently! I...

So, I can't even figure out how to go to someone's site to read all of their posts. Is there a simple way to do that???

I will begin by saying I am electronically disabled! Friends get nervous when I go near a computer! But I have been all over the site and cannot figure out how to PM someone. Could someone please walk me through the process?

I wanted to ask if there have been any reviews of the dry cat food called "AlleyCat". Someone gave me some but I haven't heard anything about it. Does anyone here know anything?

My 20-year-old TNR colony has been under threat for the last couple of months. My cat-hating next-door neighbor suddenly decided she didn't want the cats around anymore and hired a rogue Wildlife lady to trap the colony cats and take them to the County Animal Shelter to be euthanized. I didn't...

I debated posting in the Feral Forum or the Pregnancy Forum. Here is the problem: This last week I did some trapping in my feral colony. One female about 10 months old was in heat but the vet went ahead with the spay. It has now been 36 hours since the surgery. This morning when I went to check...

It has been a long time since posting here, but I have been just a little busy! After working now for 2 years at Walmart full time in order to feed and care for the colony, an un-neutered female joined the colony and had three consecutive litters without my realizing what was happening until the...

Snowy, one of my most favorite cats in the Colony was put to sleep last night. She had been coughing for a few days, and it seemed as if she was trying to expel a hair- ball. But, yesterday she wasn't doing well, and so at 9:00 p.m. last night I rushed her to the Vet. After x-rays, the Vet...

I need to let everyone know what happened to me recently with a call for help from the SPCA. For 18 years I have managed a colony of 50 feral cats all by myself. The colony is all neutered/spayed and vaccinated. You who care for colonies know the amount of time that goes into caring for a...

Hi Feral Friends and Caretakers, Wow have I been busy with my colony trying to keep up with expenses on a reduced income! One of the expenses I have tried to find an alternate for is the feeding dishes I use to feed wet food. I always feed wet and dry twice a day. The dry is easy, I have...

One of my older cats, the last one who is not a feral has not been well. Eating less and less each day and this evening after being gone most of the afternoon (getting cat supplies) I can't find her. She rarely goes outside. I have looked everywhere for her.  I am so afraid she went off to die...

I am going to the emergency vet tonight with my little "Snowy" (she is not in a critical state), so I may get answers after I get home (I am in California). But I thought I'd see if anyone is around before I go. This little girl is a very timid feral cat. While she can be anywhere in the...

Well, its a new one for me. Last year I got one of the "newcomers" to the colony fixed, A few days later a twin brother showed up with an ear tip. I didn't bother to check to see if he had ACTUALLY been neutered. Just assumed with an ear tip he must have been. WRONG. Three days ago happened to...

Hi Everyone, I have lots of feral cat trapping experience, but not trapping kittens, and need some advice. The Little Mom Feral, who I call Smudge, is very friendly with me. I am able to pet her, she has even brought a few of her kittens in the house through the cat door, but if I try to get...

Hi all, I haven't been around for awhile, but I am needing some feedback from the feral cat caretakers. Feeling alone in this feral cat world tonight. One of the feral cats in the colony of 50 that I manage, a white cat, got cancer on one of her ears that advanced quickly. She was one who...
