My sincere thanks to all that have responded. I recently ordered Brewers Yeast & Garlic tablets from Only Natural Pet. They recommend a
dosage of 1 tablet a day for any cat under 10lb. to be mixed in with their food. I also have bought DE food grade, thus will try that as well.
It is very...
I am seeking any suggestions regarding relieving the homeless community cats that I care for of the horrible suffering of fleas & parasites.
It is very troubling to see them suffer so much. Has anyone used Brewers Yeast & Garlic tablets mixed in their food daily, or DE food grade?
If so, I...
Thanks or the suggestions.To my knowledge there are no wounded or dead animals nearby. They have been observed eating the cat food.
As for the drunks, they have no self respect.Why would they show any respect for the community cats and their territory
Over the past week 2 black vultures have been seen daily at my colony site in the woods. Last year there were 2 turkey vultures that hung around
for close to a week. I am at a loss in what to do regarding these scavengers. I would assume that cutting back on the amount of dry food staged
would...
The community cats that I have cared for over the past 4 years live in a wooded area. A recent cold snap in the single digits left all
water bowls frozen. There is no access to electrical outlets where I feed. Any ideas and or suggestions are appreciated. Also a little
water is added to their...
Thanks to all who have replied. I spoke to a rep at Avon whom could not tell me whether Skin So Soft was safe to use around cats. She recommended
I consult with a vet first. 90% of the ingredients used are not listed on the bottle, thus they are mailing me the list. Right now, I am not too...
I would like to know if anyone has a solution for keeping yellow jackets at bay from wet food bowls. They are harassing one of my colony
members in her attempts to consume the food. Is serving dry food the only option that I have at this time of year? Also, being eaten up by
mosquitos, fleas...
I am seeking feedback from those whom have given DE food grade to their felines. I have read various responses as to the proper dosage and am
somewhat confused. My colony feeds out of separate bowls vs. a communal one. Also, is dusting to be done in a minimalist fashion? Your
thoughts and...
Thanks for your support, advice and suggestions. I am truly appreciative. How much DE food do you give each cat on a daily basis? Do you
use it throughout the year or just in the summer? Anyone familiar with Brewers Yeast & Garlic tablets? Thanks again for being my ally for
the health concerns...
I have been a feral colony caregiver for the past 4 years. Food, water and sheltering is provided, yet I continually question is this enough to deem
myself a humane caregiver. I am seeking suggestions from all to improve the daily quality of life for these innocent homeless cats. Relief from...
Thanks for your support SusanK521. Wish you were an ally up in my neck of the woods. For now, Sammy{named after Sammy Davis Jr.} is
fed a predominately wet food diet with additional water added to make it soupy. The extent of his dental problems not determined due to the
fact recent trapping...
An update on Sammy, the one eyed neutered black male cat suffering from excessive drooling. After close to a week of attempting to trap him,
we decided on administering a 7 day program of Lysine into his food serving once daily. He has shown signs of improvement, yet getting him
vetted was our...
Thanks for your kind words of support Susank521. Sadly, feral/community cats are both devalued in life and devalued in death by society in general.
I am glad that neither you, I or any member of the CatSite is a part of such a compassionless world.
My sincere thanks to those who replied. Thus far several raccoons and one of the other colony members were trapped and released. Trapping post
TNR cats is a daunting task, particularly when it is an individual member of the colony.
For several days one of my colony cats has been drooling from the mouth in excess. He is roughly 8 years in age. There are 3 other felines
that are members of the colony. Attempts to trap him the past several days have been unsuccessful rendering one of the other cats and a
healthy raccoon. ...
