Thanks for the reply. The food is eaten in the day time, but I don't see them anymore. How can I move their feeding spot? I tried to move it a little farther away, but it did not get eaten. Where I am feeding them is out in the open and I would like to feed them in a less noticeable spot for...

I have been feeding a mother cat and her kittens. I only saw them a couple of times before they relocated. I leave food for them and it gets eaten. I have traps and I am going to put them near where I feed them, but since they have moved I don't know how successful I will be. Plus, the area is...

Thanks for the replies. I'm not too worried about the FIV. He seems to be a pretty mellow cat. Is there anything I can give him to help boost his immune system? How do positive cats do with vaccinations? He will have to be vaccinated to be neutered. He has a wound by his ear that seemed to be...

I am going to take him to another vet and request the other test. I believe it was a faint line on the leukemia. The vet said that he couldn't have a false positive, but I know of someone that has had that happen. I'm told he has been outside for a long time and has scabs on him him from fights...

I have been feeding a stray cat all summer. I have just recently been able to pet him. I took him to the vet and he tested positive for leukemia and FIV. Is that common to be positive for both? I have cats and no where to keep him separated, but I can't leave him outside. He seems healthy right...

I think because it was swollen and he is trying to save it. The kitten doesn't seem bothered by it, but I'm afraid he will injure it again. Thanks for the link.

I have a ten week old kitten with a broken tail. He has been to the vet and is on antibiotics. The tip of his tail is limp and hangs down. It does not seem to bother him. He wags his tail and ends up hitting the tip on things. He doesn't seem to feel it. It may have to be amputated. Has anyone...

Good news his jaw is not broken.  He ate on his own today.  His leg is broken and he will have surgery.  He is estimated to be 3 months old.  He didn't hiss at the vet and he let them hold him, but it's another story at home.  I hope with time and effort he will warm up to us.  Thanks for the...

My sister rescued a kitten she saw get hit by a car.  He has a broken leg and jaw.  I would say he is around 4 or 5 months old.  He is not eating.  He hisses when we go near him.  He has a vet appoitment tomorrow, but if I am not able to handle him not sure what good that will do.  I'm not sure...

My cat is 10. They did do a thyroid test. He is down to 8lbs and is normally about 11lbs or so. He had a fast heartbeat and a murmur. I didn't know about the different tests so I will have to ask. I just have to wait for the results.......... He is such a great cat. I don't want to lose...

I feed outdoor cats and one began having rapid weight loss, but a huge appetite. I took him to the vet and did blood work, stool check, everything was neg. The vet said it was cancer. I brought him inside and gave fluids and did what I could for him until the end. Now another cat has the...
