Thanks for your reply. You are now the only other person I’ve ever met with an FIV positive cat. There’s really not a lot of information or options out there about feral FIV. It’s a tough subject because they’re so hard to treat. I wish I knew what the trigger was but it came out of nowhere and...

I’m researching everything I can and working with my vet when he has flare ups of pillow paw (a painful condition of the paw pads) I researched and purchased a immune supplement but he won’t eat his food if it’s mixed in with it. He limps and leaves drops of blood behind him from his cracking...

A month ago a gray male feral with a tipped left ear adopted us, and all is going well. He currently lives mostly in our screened in porch and our small side yard (under the house). My lab and my my new guy are working on their relationship and things are moving along well. However, a new fellow...
