I'm fostering a female and her 5 newborns. She left the umbilical cords really long. I'm afraid they will get snagged by a claw or stepped on by mom and ripped off. Do I leave them or trim them. (They are approximately 4" long)

There's a feral in my colony I haven't TnR'd yet because I've been working on ones I can handle or adopt. That being said, this cat was born under my deck and we're familiar even though I can't handle him. A couple weeks ago I saw him limping. Then he disappeared. I assumed the worst. Two days...

Backstory; I have a fully vetted feral who comes in and out, (he was the only survivor in his litter, than mom got killed) as long as I don't touch him, we're friends. 4 days ago he came to me with a broken leg at his elbow joint. My vet gave me Tramadol and metacaim and wished me the best...

Hi everyone! I've never had this happen with any of my rescues. I have a kitten I've been fostering from my yard, and I just had her spayed. I have her in a small room (nothing to jump on) The first night she bleed all over the room. She was fine when I left her at 10pm and the next morning, I...

Hi everyone! This post does not fall under the category of Ethical breeding but I need help reguardless.  *Backstory: Last summer a litter of kittens were born in my backyard. I fed, befriended them and TNR'd the ones I couldnt adopt out. One disappeared, leading me to believe she has passed. ...

Hi everyone! Quick backstory. Hubby and I brought in a feral after he tested negative for FIV and FIL. We kept him separated and treated him for worms.  Fast forward to Monday when a "Stomach Virus" spread through my multi cat home. I treated all the cats for worms with Pyrantel and was given...

So I have a group of Feral's who live in my backyard. About 4mths ago I noticed a massive long haired Calico comming to eat their food. Ok, no problem so far. I figure she's a house cat b/c of her massive size and her perfectly quaffed fur! She is ALWAYS brushed! I just figured she didnt want to...

My hubby built an amazing A-frame insulated cathouse in our backyard but I freeked out when it got cold and convinced him to build a small opening to our crawlspace. Because he is the best hubby ever he did it! Some of them use the cathouse during the day but there are 8 of them and they all...

Please let me preface by saying Im more intriuged by this behavior than anything else. This is NOT a post about me wanting to drop my cat off at some shelter or having him euthanized b/c he is spraying!!  Chase, (The love of my life) is a one owner cat. He was a feral and only attached himself...

So my Tom cat (who I've been unsucessful in trapping) had kittens with a very young illusive mother who I cant seem to trap either! Anyway it was her 1st litter and she was a very poor mother. I had seen her and knew she was pregnant b/c she would come for food. I waited and waited expecting to...

One of my females will absolutley not clean her backside! My hubby and I constantly have to clean it for her. I assumed it would eventually encourage her to do it herself since she cant stand it but so far no luck! Her sister (same litter) has no issues. Anyone have any ideas as to why she's not...

My hubby and I made a cathouse for our ferals to eat in and are in the process of making more (better insualted) ones for the small colony we have. The question is, how do I get them to go in there? It was easy to get them into the feeding station but how the heck do I get them to discover the...

Hi everyone! I often watch my Aunt and Uncles cat while they are on vacation b/c he has diabeties. He also has the worst case of feline herpes I've ever seen! The poor thing is sneezing and snotting all over my walls. They are giving him L-lysine, but on top of junk dry food. (He wont eat wet)...

Hi everyone, I have a small population of ferals outside my house I feed. One in particular I have gotten quite partial to. I suspect she is a stray and not a true feral. She meows and the others do not and she will eat right next to me if I put her bowl on the ground instead of her cathouse. I...

Hi everyone! My 8 month old kitten has a flesh colored mole on his face right next to his mouth. As i have never seen this before I am wondering if anyone has had any experiences with moles. (BTW its definitly NOT a tick) Having just lost a cat to cancer early this month Im obviously concerned...

Hello, We found a stray 8 week old kitten we named Neumann on Saturday barely holding on to life. He is completely dehydrated and anemic with maggots coming out of his nose. He also was completely flea and worm infested with conjuctivitis and an upper respitory infection. We took him home from...
