My outside cat came up to me the other day with both of her eyes rolled back in her head. She has been find the prior day, her usual, energetic self. I took her immediately to the vet. She was diagnosed with having hookworms and having a yeast infection in her ear. Given a CBC and checked for...

Ahhhhhh...They are so Adorable!!! If they were outside, I bet the momma cat was out catching food for them. Our momma ferral used to go out and capture field mice and bring it to her kittens in the car shed here. I would keep a lookout for her. Im so happy you found them, especially with the...
Hi Starry...This just happened today!! I just now received another update. Not much on the dogs condition but apparently they are running the story all over and donations are coming in to help with Lucy's care. There is a video attached to the article. Lucy looks like such a sweet doggie.
Hi Lisa, Going through withdrawal, hey? I did the same about 2 years ago. Lived in Maryland all my life (53 yrs). I lived right in the hub bub of it all, 15 min. from BWI, surrounded by the Balto Beltway, stores and shops within 10 min or less. Then I married my husband from Arkansas who...
Hello Everyone,
I have a pastor friend of mine in Texas with whom I correspond with on a regular basis..Thought you might have seen or should view this news story. My friend wrote me and informed me that his sister has adopted this lab. How could anyone in their right mind do such a thing ...
Hi Laura!
Actually we have had these guys for sometime now and my husband put up some extra planks plus a gate on the porch of the trailer next door to keep the dogs out and so that they would feel safe. Its their favorite place to be. Thus the reason I put the dog house over there.
I...
Sorry, Ive been away. A lot of different things going on here been human family and cat family. My one ferral apparently hooked herself on something outside and tore a gash in her side. Sliced right through the skin through to the muscle...a good 6 inches long. No bleeding however. She didnt...
Thanks guys for all the posts. Im just now getting back to replying. I kept Rocky indoors overnight. Kept him in his carrier for a good part of the time, but let him out twice so that he could get his sea legs. I made sure he was drinking and I fed him the next morning. He did great! He...
We've had these ferrals for about 2 1/2 years now...all spayed/neutered. They are actually pretty domesticated, so I suppose they arent "true" ferrals. We had many more at first, but then had stray dogs issues, which reduced our numbers, also some were adopted out prior. Eventually had the...
I just had my male ferral neutered..the vet only recommended that I keep him in the house overnight. The main reason being that he had anesthia (sp?) and wouldnt be up to defending himself outside if approached by another cat. I let him out in the house for a bit (hes not totally ferral) just...
Hey Everyone,
Ive seen those indigo igloo houses for dogs at the store here. I was wondering what you all thought about them as far as using it a a shelter for my cats in the winter. I thought I could get one and set it up on the porch, pile some wheat straw in it too. I even see where they...
Hi yall,
Its been a long time since Ive visited. Everything has gotten pretty guiet here now after we had a huge stray dog issue several months ago. Im down to 5 cats now as to the 18 I had when I first posted about a year ago.
Today my only male cat, Rocky went for his neutering (the...
Wow, expensive ! And I dont think one disk will due considering I have 9 here. For now, they seem to be doing okay. I suppose I worry about them more then necessary. We also have a low lying dog house (look like it could be for a daushaund) filled with wheat straw and I know they go in there...
What are the best websites (and most reasonable) to buy these...is there any stores that sell mylar blankets, other than PetSmart?
We filled the hole under the steps that we made as a place for the cats to feed, with wheat straw and my husband put a little light in there. Ive only seen one or...
Thanks guys! Last winter these cats had to find their own shelter. Mostly they went under our house or my mother in laws house (her house was built with a little space under the flooring and they can crawl through there into her car shed. Its an old country home. I think they liked going...
I saw a post here last winter in regard to something you could put in the ferrals sleep area that they could lie on to help them retain body heat. And I remember looking at the website that someone had posted a link to but lost the information. It was a silver mat type thing and I remember the...
Ha! I had one that did that....meowed constantly...so I decided to call her Crybaby....she is now around two and has not quit. You know these guys all have their own personality and I wouldnt think nothing of it as long as the kitten seems to be in good health and momma there is attending her/him.
