I would suggest trying a couple of different types of litter. What kind did they use at the shelter? I would recommend getting some Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract litter or litter additive. It has herbs that are supposed to attract to the cat to using the litterbox. I would also recommend looking at...

You can request that copies of paperwork be sent to a new vet, so even if you need the older records, you should be able to go elsewhere.

It sounds like your vet is talking about the two forms of Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?A=1390 Two possible causes are haemobartonellosis and feline leukemia.  Other autoimmune disorders can occasionally be involved. Have they done any other...

I bought a bag of this litter thinking it would be good for my cat who needs a dust free litter (he has sores on his paws due to cancer, so dust-free is really important for keeping his feet clean).  I like that it's softer than the other dust-free litters I've tried, like Good Mews. ...

It sounds like it could be his popliteal lymph node.  There are a lot of reasons this lymph node becomes enlarged, and cancer is only one of them. http://www.cat-world.com.au/Cat-Health-Collection/swollen-lymph-nodes-in-cats.html

You may want to look for a "treat ball" that you can put the dry food in.  The ball dispenses only a small amount of food and has to be pushed around/played with to get the food to come out.  This can help your kitty be more active, "hunt" for his meals, and eat more slowly.  I used to use one...

Spot's primary issues were hyperthyroidism and heart disease.  He never ended up showing any signs of kidney problems between when I posted and when he died of heart failure, despite the low specific gravity numbers.  Those numbers could have been due to excessive drinking, in his case due to...

Two months ago, my partner and I had five cats and a dog.  Two of the cats were mine before we moved in together, the other three cats and the dog were hers.  A little over a year ago, we merged our two groups into one big (mostly) happy family. Odo "Odafin" was our little old man.  I adopted...

I'm sorry for your loss.  It sounds like you made the best possible decision.  If the kitty has not already been buried or cremated, you may want to consider having a necropsy done--it may be able to answer some questions.  My kitty Willow died of FIP.  It was reassuring for me to have the...

A couple of times in the last week, I've received emails that have links that I can't get to--when I click on them, I receive the following message: Insufficient PermissionsYour account does not have the required permissions to access this page. Any ideas?  I've tried to search for the titles...

It may just be a cyst.  My old kitty Odo has one on his head and one on his jaw.  My vet tried to drain the one on his jaw but she couldn't get anything out of it.  It's definitely worth getting checked out.

If there is any chance of bringing him to the vet, you may ask whether Convenia (an antibiotic injection) is something that might help in your situation.

A few thoughts: To help with the arthritis, you might consider a heated cat bed.  K&H makes several, and they also sell just the heater so you can use it with an existing cat bed or blanket: http://www.khmfg.com/catproducts/indoor-heated-cat-beds As for the weight loss, you might try feeding...

Is he doing well on the Fancy Feast?  If so, then that is what matters most.  If he isn't doing well (oily or rough coat, dullness in the eyes, digestive issue, etc.), then you might consider picking one low in phosphorus (http://www.felinecrf.org/canned_food_usa.htm#canned_usa).  You might also...

I once had a cat who ate chocolate chip cookies, but I think it was more for the cookie part than for the chocolate chips.  By the way, Reese's Pieces don't have any chocolate: http://www.foodfacts.com/NutritionFacts/Peanut-Butter/Reeses-Pieces-105-oz/66138

Was the diagnosis of allergies based on a stuffy/runny nose?  If so, you might consider whether she has a low-grade, chronic upper respiratory infection. If so, L-Lysine might be worth trying instead.  The human tablets tend to be pretty flavorless, so they may be easier to sneak into food than...

My partner's grey and white cat has gained more grey as he's aged, and her all black cat who previously had a single white whisker is now flecked with white hairs scattered throughout her fur.  My fluffy tuxedo cat goes from black to brownish red at times, especially when he's been in the sun. ...

Definitely talk to the vet about doing an urinalysis to rule out a bladder infection or other physical problem.  Also, keep the kitty confined to a single small space, like the bathroom or a small bedroom, until he is using the litter box again.  There is a cat litter called Cat Attract that is...
