The Orlando Pet Alliance, a local rescue group and low cost vet center, caught fire early this morning. All of the dogs were saved but approximately twenty-three cats died in the fire. They are asking for donations. If anyone can help, I can certainly vouch for the rescue.
Thank you!

I realize that PETA can get a little heavy and ridiculous at times, but also think they do a lot of good. I'm signed up for their "Take Action" emails where they request members to sign petitions, email companies, etc., and they sent me the video below today. It clearly shows members of the...
My feline only vet (whom I love) is no longer doing dentals at her practice. She's referring them all out to a veterinary dentist who charges--take a deep breath and hold onto your wallet--$975.00! That prices includes a $75.00 office visit fee plus $125.00 for the pre-anesthesia blood work...
Greetings everyone. I hope your holiday season is going well.
I have a work acquaintance in her sixties who just agreed to take in a stray we found on another property. The stray is an all-black female who is one of the sweetest, most loveable cats I've seen in a while. The vet puts her at...
I can't sleep for worrying about a feral cat. A colleague of mine who works for a different property management company in Tennessee has been telling me about a young tortie on her property who's in bad shape.
She says the cat's probably under a year old and is constantly drooling, and that...
I keep a bottle of mineral oil in my house because my skin is dry and I put it on my face at night as soon as I get out of the shower. Evidently I didn't screw the top back on it tight enough because my cats knocked the bottle off the bathroom counter top sometime today and it spilled all over...
Do you think a cat would be content living in an office? There would be daily interaction with humans Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. until about 6:00 p.m. (sometimes later), and someone would come in Saturday and Sunday for feeding, litter-box maintenance and a few quick pets.
The cat would...
Like many of you, I watch a lot of cat videos on YouTube. But when I stumbled across Flatbush Cats, a 501(c)(3) group in Brooklyn I was really taken aback by the production values. They have such fantastic music and the video quality is top notch. The work they do in Brooklyn is utterly...
A resident on one of my properties came home last night to find what she thought was a kitten on her doorstep, but upon closer observation it turned out to be a baby raccoon. It's not a newborn, but we really can't determine its age. It looks like a regular raccoon . . . just smaller. This...
There's a youngish kitten (four to five months old) on one of our properties who definitely has mange. I dosed him with Revolution. He'll be going to get fixed in the next two weeks. Is Revolution effective against mange? My Google-Fu failed me.

My beautiful three-year-old tuxedo cat, Thirteen, has a chicken allergy. Ingesting even the smallest amount of chicken turns her into an itchy scratchy bloody mess and lands us at the vet because no one can sleep due to her incessant scratching.
She's been raw fed on rabbit for several years...
Naturally I'm going to run out of rabbit when no one has any stock. Oddly enough, as I was scouring the internet looking for something to tide me over, I found Oliver Heritage Farms in Bradenton, Florida, which is only about two hours away from me. Here's the link:
Tampa Organic Produce and...
Has anyone ever purchased Revolution from Australia? It's so incredibly cheap there! We try to dose all the ferals at least once every two months but it gets horrifically expensive. I like Revolution because it treats for ear mites, roundworms, etc.
Thoughts?

This beautiful orange male is my buddy. He's part of an established feral/stray colony on one of our properties in Hollywood, Florida. I'm a Regional Manager for a large property management company in Orlando and spend a lot of time traveling to different apartment complexes.
I first met this...
My beautiful female tuxedo, Thirteen, who will be four years old on Valentine's Day, has food allergies. Several years ago we learned that chicken is an absolute no-no for her. Her ears fill up with wax and she will scratch herself into oblivion if she eats it. I had her on a rabbit only diet...
Bella Roma has a retained deciduous upper canine. I researched the site and when this has been brought up in the past by others the general consensus was to leave it be. However, it appears that a lot of vets have differing opinions, some as drastic as "don't even wait a day! Bring your...
Ugh, I'm totally miserable. For years I've had a pinched or compressed nerve in my neck. I have three cervical discs that have herniated and after my latest MRI the doctors are offering me nothing but surgery. It's gotten so much worse over the years that at this point I can barely type...
