If you go on taking care of strays and ferals there is an article about the cat blackly stuck under the shed. When I read that I found out that cats get a little disoriented when it snows when they try and come back.
How did they get him out?If you go on taking care of strays and ferals there is an article about the cat blackly stuck under the shed. When I read that I found out that cats get a little disoriented when it snows when they try and come back.
Pi went through TNR so has a clipped ear too. They neutered him, gave him a 3 year rabies, a distemper and an application of Advantage II. They also checked for Feline Aids and other cat diseases. That was all free through PetRescue NY. The other day his stool sample test cost $39 and the medication was $54 at my regular vet. If you've had Bella 7 years he'll probably need another rabies and distemper shot.Hi guys pipi Judy I want to take my bell to the vet. How much did it cost for his shots and visit. I have to have bell Checked to see if he is carrying anything. When bell came to me he had a clipped ear. So I am thinking that he was checked for feline aids and leukemia. I need to have him checked and also maybe dis temper and rabies shots. Did you get all that for pipi. I don't even know if I came get him in a carrier. But I will try like you. Bell is over 9 pounds Mayb even 11pounds .
Sounds like a good plan Linda. My next door neighbor has had about 25 cats in her lifetime of 45 years and said she knows how to get Pi into his carrier. So next time we have an appointment at the Vet's she is going to put him in for me. I too am keeping the carrier out in the open so he gets used to it. I put treats in it too. By the way, my Vet is fairly high priced so (if you're lucky) you might get Bell's stool sample checked and worming meds for less than what I quoted you.Thanks Judy . I think what I sm going to do is get him a carrier and put
It out and let it sit there for a while in the bedroom next to his food. I want him to get use to the carrier. Maybe put some cat nip in there. I just don't want it to cost me like 300 dollars.
Is his eye still bad? If it is you need to get it looked at. God forbid he loses the eye.Sounds like a good plan Linda.

With the sub zero temperatures we are expecting today and through this weekend Pi is not going out! Also, I want to keep him inside until he has had all his deworming meds. He has successfully consumed the first 2 doses with 3 more to go. I am also going to try to bathe his eye with a weak boric acid solution today.
Try like I did with your husband holding the carrier up to the level of your arms. We were stunned how quickly we got him in.Thanks dahlia. I would like to try getting mine in to a carrier first but if that does not work I will try that. I just think he would really freak out if I did it that way. But I might not have a choice.
TNR stands for trap, neuter and release. It's what is done with stray and feral cats in the States. Pi's eye seemed somewhat better today. I don't think he'll lose it Stewball. Will bathe it tomorrow as I couldn't get to it today.What's TNR?
I should have said Sundays.I hope I didn't upset you. I'm a dreadful pessimist.
My vet neuters ferals on Sunday mornings. The municipality pay her.
Has pi let you pick him up yet?
I've picked Pi up on 2 occasions out of necessity but got scratched for it by his back leg the first time. The second was the day my cleaning woman frightened him with the vacuum and he ran behind a large vase of dried flowers on the stairs to the second floor. That time I had given him a blanket to cuddle in behind the vase and when he needed moving picked him up through the blanket. It only worked because he was paralyzed with fear of the vacuum. It was a quick carry and put down in a safe place. The next time I tried was last week trying to get him in his pet carrier. Got a 3" scratch for that attempt. So, we haven't reached the point where he is comfortable with me picking him up.I hope I didn't upset you. I'm a dreadful pessimist.
