I have reached out to a couple places via email and I am waiting on a response. A lot of places do not answer their phones and have limited hours. I don't really know of many rescues in my area and when I look them up they all say they are full due to kitten season and not accepting any cats at...

Hello everyone, I am feeling very overwhelmed, and I am looking for some advice or encouragement, words of wisdom, anything. I moved into a subdivision about 3.5 years ago and there were a few community cats that a couple neighbors provided food and shelter for. Well I started doing the same...

Thanks for your advice everyone. I continued to put antibiotic ointment on the scratches and kept them clean. I've been monitoring for other signs but my temperature has been good and the scratches/possible bites are barely noticeable now. There has been no redness, swelling, heat to the touch...

Thank you. I tried to do everything I could here at home. I'm not sure if there were any bites or just nail punctures. Will a wound getting infected be visible or could there be something lurking under the surface while the initial scratch/bite is healing up? They are looking better with time...

Hello, We have a momma cat and her three kittens we are looking to TNR, hopefully adopt out the kittens. They are too young to TNR yet and momma has kept them pretty well hidden until the last couple days where she has been bringing them to me for food. Well tonight one got tangled in my patio...

Thanks everyone for your advice! Unfortunately, since it is her yard she is free to trap the unowned cats and "rehome them", even though we don't know where she is technically relocating them too and this is frowned upon, she isn't legally doing anything wrong. I guess with the exception of...

Yes exactly. It was posted to our township FB page and the moderator removed it.

Hi Fionasmom, Yes, one neighbor, others enjoy the cats and help take care of them and some don’t say anything. I’ve been here 4 years and have never heard a complaint until now. My neighbor has been here since the 70’s and has never heard a complaint. She’s in her 80’s and loves the cats. They...

We have never met her but did reply to her FB post. One of the neighbors mentioned they had an indoor-outdoor cat and she basically said for people to not pm her regarding their missing pets, if they’re concerned to bring a trap. My husband tried explaining the entire TNR situation and it got...

Hello, We have a lot of stray and feral cats in our neighborhood. When I first moved in a few of my neighbors were providing food, water and shelter and since it seemed to be acceptable in the area we started doing the same, happily. The cats are all nice and some are more social than others...

Thank you. Good news, we found momma a home. The family that took her love her and she is doing well. I know she wanted to be indoors but the stress of the others was making her anxious. She went to a no animal home and she is bonding well with the little boy. My other 3 are doing ok...

Just wanted to give an update. Both cats have been fixed and are up to date on their shots. They were cleared to be around my cats but unfortunately they had asymptomatic chlamydia and my resident cat ended up in the ER on Christmas with eyes swollen shut. All 4 cats are now on antibiotics for...

Good news. Both cats are using the litter box and the spraying has seemed to stop for now. I hope it continues to stay that way! We did take her to the vet so she is pretty traumatized right now and won’t even look at me. She also came back negative on her tests and got her vaccinations, a...

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, I meant how long to keep them after they are fixed. I was concerned since it is winter time that the cold would be bad for them after, but I do provide all the heated houses and beds in an enclosed area with food and heated water bowls so hopefully that will...

Hello, I apologize in advance for the length. My husband and I are having a few feral cat issues and we are hoping you can help. Any suggestions are helpful! We live in a subdivision and our neighbor feeds and provides a little bit of shelter for 7 feral cats. I started feeding a starving...

Thank you! The mom cat found her baby on her own. When I checked my camera she had been circling the yard and eventually they reunited! The baby seemed happy and I have seen her playing in the yard since.

Hello All, We have a stray cat that lives on our property and she has 3 kittens (about 8-12 weeks). Yesterday there was a bad storm and one of the kittens got scared and ran up a tree. When it finally came down from the tree, it ran to the bushes on our neighbors property but it's quite far...

Yes. Definitely better. They put them on Metronidazole for 7 days for the Giardia and also Loperamide to help with the diarrhea. They have been eating, drinking, and playing so hopefully this all works out. I have to get another fecal in 3 weeks to double check but until then I will be worried! ...

Well I took in a stool sample for both my kitties. They have giardia! I don't understand how. They are both indoor only and we have city water. They had a fecal last year after we did all vaccs, antibiotics,and whatever else they were on and there was no other issues with the fecal then. If they...

Thanks for your suggestions. I called the emergency and they gave me the usual... we can't really say without seeing them, but if they are eating, drinking, and using their litter box it should be fine to wait until tomorrow (Monday). I will be calling their vet tomorrow morning and keeping a...
