Thanks, Jen, for the great advice..i have started calling vet offices to see if any of their clients may be looking for an fiv kitty and i plan on making posters--and maybe an ad in a local paper--i know no "free to good home" ads!!! I am determined to find this kitty a home soon!!!! But just in...

Even though they are supposed to be a 'no-kill'shelter, i suspect that they put down FIV positive kittens--even though the testing for a young kitten can show a false positive....i am so distressed by the whole situation that i want to stop volunteering there--of course, that is the wrong thing...

Hi..I have been volunteering for about 4 yrs. at the local spca, which is a no-kill shelter...of course, they are very particular about the animals they take in..Anyway, there is a very sweet kitty( fiv positive) that has been in the holding area for over a year now, i.e., little human contact...

Has anyone had any experience with the Purrforma?? i want to buy an automatic litter box, and i am wondering how this one stacks up against the Littermaid...Thanks so much for any info you can provide!!!!

There is a shelter in Middletown, NY--about 60 miles away---that is a sanctuary of last hope for many animals...their web site is http://www.petsalive.com/ Maybe they can help....

I had a wicked time trying to give liquid antibiotics to my semi-feral kitty..I tried putting it in baby food and she stuck her nose up at it...Then my vet recommended i use the pill form and put it in 'pill pockets' --available at the vet's office or Petsmart, etc....and it works like a...

Hi.. Does anyone have any info about the "Stevie and Angel" fund?? i donated some money a while ago--then kept going back to their web site for an update and since Nov 2003 there has been no news..i even emailed them and never received a response...was it just a big con game to collect...

Another way to reduce the cost is to buy frontline and advantage for dogs and reduce the dosage so that it is correct according to the cat's weight.it is the same medicine,just different strength...does anyone know anything about this??? i understand it can cut the cost almost in half....

Ditto for me as well about the paypal info---i would like to help....

I intend to write the governor that i will not be vacationing anywhere in the state of ohio---let him put pressure the powers in Akron...i do not think they (the akron governmnet) is receptive to any complaints --so take it up a notch and let the governor of ohio know how dissatisfied you are...

Writing the governor is great--but also let's economically boycott the city..Hit them in their pocketbooks--don't travel there and don't spend any money there.... tell your friends and neighbors to do the same --Now tell that to the enlightened council members in akron!!

Pamela, the only way to get rid of rust is with elbow grease---use steel wool or a brillo pad and rub it off..or go to Lowe's /Home Depot and buy a rust remover (Rustoleum is a good brand)..follow the instructions--usually if the rust is not too deep, you can just paint on the remover, wait and...

don't know if that would work--i have the same problem with water..on one of the other boards, someone mentioned a hot rock to keep the water from freezing--but i don't know where to get one or how it works....

I am going to go and get a heat disk--thanks for the info.....my problem is that this feral cat is quite a ways from my home and i don't like to go there in the evening cause it is behind a shopping center, etc...so even if i put it there at 3 in the afternoon it should have some...
