A local rescue I know of recently removed 3 feral cats from a neighbourhood due to very real threats of being shot by one of the home owners in the neighbourhood. They are temporarily being held in cages because as of right now there is no place for them to go, but they can't stay since they are...

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm so glad Artie found such a great home with you, and you were able to find things that made him feel more comfortable. I have another cat that is a former feral, and Feliway worked so well for her! I used the plug-ins for the first 2-3 months after she...

Right, that's why I said I'm very skeptical. Just looking for people's experiences with using it is all. Personally, I don't see a problem with the alcohol being used as a preservative. As you said, it's a tiny amount, and even if someone were to give them the whole bottle to ingest, which of...

I don't know when they did it. His paws were "healed" (as much as they can be after amputating all of the most distal joints off his front paws ) when I got him from the shelter and the vet said it was probably done "years ago" at his first exam, and I've now had him for about 3 years. Thank you...

Hi Everyone, I'd like to hear about people's experiences with Jackson Galaxy's Spirit Essences. My cat was already declawed when I adopted him. His previous owners who surrendered him to the shelter had it done (I know this is a "hot topic," but I'm not looking to discuss declawing here. For...

@LisaHE  I made a separate post about what I made today. I didn't want to hijack this thread! 

Hi Everyone!  Thought I'd make a post about my experience with making my first batch of homemade food. Some of you may have seen my earlier post about my older cat being diagnosed with IBD. He has improved since I switched him over to a commercial raw diet (Stella and Chewy's, to be specific)...

I'm just getting started with homemade cat food, and we bought a kitchen aid stand mixer with an "aftermarket" meat grinder attachment. My husband and I really liked having something that can do more than just grind meat. He's used it to make our own ground beef, and today I made my first batch...

I just made my very first batch of homemade cat food today. All the supplements that I used, I bought at the grocery store, with the exception of taurine (which I ordered from Amazon.com). The initial purchasing of the needed supplements may seem like a lot, but they will last a long time for...

Thank you for posting your story, @Anmllvr My cat was recently diagnosed with IBD, and we are starting to transition to a raw diet for him. Stories like yours gives me hope that this may help him!

Hello! Thought I'd post an update on Meowsley's progress for those who may be interested. At first, he was doing great, went for several days with no vomiting!!! He also got a b12 shot at the veterinarian on Monday. I picked up the written prescription for the prednisolone, but he was doing so...

Well, I wanted to buy the RC as you all suggested, but the closest retailer to me that carried it, according to the website, was over 30 minutes away. I didn't want to wait to order it, so I went with Stella and Chewy's, which is carried by my local pet store. He has been reluctant to eat...

@missmimz  thanks so much for the additional info on the differences between HT and supermarket ground meat. That completely makes sense. I figured it probably was something like that, but feel more confident now!  Thank you also for the links! I'll definitely be joining.  We are actually...

Just got off the phone with my veterinarian.... Good news is, there's no signs of cancer or obstruction. Bad news, there are signs of IBS. You guys suspected it, I was in denial about it, and now it's official.  She wants to start him on a prescription diet (dry?!!!!), prednisolone, and weekly...

Yeah, have you read the ingredients list on the Meow Mix dry food?! There's like, no meat at all basically! They probably just didn't know it was so bad. Our cats that we had when I was a kid were fed all dry food (royal canin), because we didn't know any better. Animal control fed him (and the...
