Both of my cats front paw pads look like this. Some of that is litter that has a scab growing over it. She was at the vet last week for this and another issue. They gave her some antibiotics and it’s seemed to help a little as she’s not limping anymore, but it still looks the same. She won’t let...

My cat had all of her teeth pulled this Tuesday (except for the fangs) and has not eaten since Monday night. She seems interested sometimes but after a few licks she goes back to laying down. She also hasn’t done much since she got back, just lays in the bed only getting up to drink water and go...

I have a little dilemma coming up in about a month. One of our male cats recently had some problems with UTIs and crystals, twice in 4 months he got blocked up. So we now have him on a special diet to keep it under control (Hills CD). We have 5 other cats and are going on vacation in about a...

So one of our recent fosters is missing a back leg and we seem to be having an issue when he goes to the bathroom and wanting to see if anyone had any suggestions. When ever he goes number 2, he somehow either ends up stepping in it or getting it on his tail, then tracks it through the house. It...

The last few weeks our 2 year old cat has not been acting herself. About 3 weeks ago she started sleeping all the time. Still eating and going to the bathroom, but that’s all she gets up for. Once we noticed she was sleeping all the time we also noticed she was limping a little on one of her...

So we just caught a momma cat where we recently found a kitten two weeks prior. Taking her tomorrow to get fixed. Was curious how soon after her surgery can we release her back to where we got her? Mainly asking because we cannot let her back out of the cage again. She just about destroyed our...

We currently have two foster kittens and one of them just recently started going to the bathroom outside the box. Took us a few times to figure out who it was, but finally caught her. So far she's pee'd in our bed while we were sleeping, pooped on a dirty towel on the floor, and pee'd on the...

The vet gave us some clindamycin drops for my cats swollen gums, have to take her in next week for dental work. But the prescription is for 1ml every 12 hours. Is it ok to do one 2ml dose every 24 hours instead? She is our fighter and it takes two of us to do it, but were only together at night...

We are foster parents and just got a momma cat with 4 kittens last night. She is a really sweet cat, was a stray but not feral at all. We were able to crawl in some bushes and pick her and all of her kittens up no problem. We got home and set up a small bathrom for her with lots of blankets, and...

I need some help or opinions to try and get my cat to eat more than one food. Merrick limited ingredients chicken. When she was younger she got diarrhea a lot. Vet couldnt figure it out, thought it might be food allergies. So I tried several different foods and finally found one she liked that...

What do all of you do with your cats when a tornado is coming or when the sirens sound? We live in Texas, and had a tornado warning last night. It took us 5 to 7 minutes to get all the cats in a carriers and in our safe room with us. That included getting our daughter in which we did first. We...

We are currently fostering a set of kittens which we keep in our spare bedroom/office. They were originally in our 2nd bathroom, but only have 2 bathrooms in the house so we moved them because we needed it. The room they are in doesn't get good airflow so the room is always a few degrees lower...

So we just took in a pair of kitten's yesterday. Male and female, probably about 3 to 4 weeks old. They weigh about 12 ounces. The people who found them were just giving them kmr with a bottle. So they are nice and fat right now. But I am now starting them on a mix of kmr and wet food together...

We are a foster home who currently have a feral cat that we took in about 6 months ago. She had a litter of kittens who we have already had adopted out, and actually kept one for ourselves. We've been working with her ever since and she hasn't come around much, but I have seen some very small...

We recently moved into a new home about 2 months ago and have been super busy painting it and fixing it that Ive sort of put this on hold. But Im ready to finally try it and make my first batch. Ive watched a few videos and thought I seek out some advice on here before I go out and buy/make it...

Long story short, we have been fostering a litter of kittens for about 2 weeks now. We got them at about 4 weeks old and they are going on 6 weeks. The person who had the mother kept one of the kittens who was the runt of the litter, and ended up giving us the rest of the litter because she had...

We're fostering another litter of kittens and just lost one last night :( It was very sudden and we got it to the vet as soon as we noticed but unfortunately he didnt make it. When we checked on him before he was playing and purring and eating, then an hour later he wasn't moving and was...

Lately Ive been reading and watching videos on feeding cats raw food and starting to try and make the transision. Since Im still new to this and the raw food at the pet store is so expensive Im not going to switch right away, having 3 cats gets expensive lol. I did buy a small 8oz tub of rad cat...

We are currently fostering 2 kittens for the shelter we volunteer at. We also have 3 cats of our own. Im pretty sure these kittens are disease free but was just curious, how do cats pass illnesses onto other cats? Is it safe to let our cats interact with them if they are all up to date on their...
