    Kitten won't eat....too young?

    Hi everyone! Well he is finally eating a little! I was so relieved yesterday! Seems he is a bit picky and wanted it heated. He has perked up a bit and tries to play. Not very good at it yet though! I'm hoping he will improve with time and start getting a nice fat little tummy. I still...

    Do baths help allergies?

    Hi! My son and I are also allergic to cats. I just bought some stuff called Allerpet/C and it seems to be helping. It is safe for cats, kittens and small animals like mice,rabbits,ect. You just put some on a wash cloth and wipe them down with it once a week. Our kittens love the attention...

    Found Pregnant cat

    Hi! I just went through something similar. We trapped a pregnant feral cat and went ahead and let her have her kittens. It made me sick just to think about having her kittens aborted. Now she has four beautiful kittens and is doing well. Now that I have been through this, I know now that if...

    How Old For Kitten Vet Visits?

    Hi! Thank you for the advice. I was really getting discouraged. I will go get that screen today when I pick up the kids from school. We will give that a try. That was my biggest concern. If I know the kittens are safe and can't get out and get lost I will feel much better. I already have...

    How Old For Kitten Vet Visits?

    The cage they are all in is a big dog kennel cage. It is plenty big enough for them all to move around in. It is so big that I can't drag it through the door. The only way I could move mom cat is if I release her back into the garage and trap her again like I did before. I don't think I can...

    I caught another cat, think she may be pregnant.

    Hi! I went through the same thing. Your lucky the kitty you found is friendly. Mine is feral and doesn't want anything to do with us! She was very very pregnant when we trapped her. Everyone recommended that we have her spayed before the kittens were born. It is a very tough decision...
