Thank you all for your wonderful words. I visited Wish's grave site (not too hard - it's right near my front door!), cleaned the memory stone and made sure that no weeds were popping through. As I was cleaning the stone I realized that I buried Wish right next to two garden angels that appear to...

Thank you all so much for your kind words. Wish is now wrapped in wonderful tissue paper and placed in a little coffin. Wish was buried this afternoon in my garden surrounded by beautiful flowers and perennials and receives a lot of wonderful sunlight. Wish is near an old fashioned water pump...

Good afternoon. Today Wish crossed the bridge. Wish was less that 24 hours alive and was born with spinal bifida. Wish's hind legs were completely deformed (actually they looked as though they weren't even formed) and there was an opening in Wish's back. Wish was the second kitty I ever had to...

Good afternoon everyone. Thank you all for your responses. I just came back from the vet, who advised that the baby had spinal bifida. We decided to send the baby over the rainbow bridge. Before going to sleep, I named the baby "Wish" and gave it lots of love and kisses for its journey. Thanks...

Hi Katie. I'm sorry, I was confusing last night - very nervous. I have access to a vet during normal hours (9am - 7pm ish) and have access to a neuter/spay clinic as well. I didn't have access to a vet last night at 1am and was in a bit of a panic. The mamma and her babies are set up in a...

Please help! I took in a stray that was pregnant so that after she gives birth and weans her babies, I can get them all spayed and neutered. I have done this quite a few times and have been extremely lucky - until now. One of the newborns does not have it's skin fully covering it's back. I'm not...

Yes it is tough and he is just not doing very well. I just went in to check on him and he seems to be in a lot of pain. I am going to try begging with some of the rescue groups - I don't know what else to do. Thank you.

Hi Hissy. I'm sorry, but I am very naieve. what is debreeded? I did put a warm compress on the paw. It felt like it burst a little and I had a little blood on the washcloth. He is very adgitated and I don't want to make anything worse. However, I am definately in a bit of a panic right now. As...

Unfortunately I live in a town that doesn't even have it's own Animal Rescue, animal shelter or even a 24 hour police force. I must contact neighboring Animal Rescues. I have also contacted all the shelters statewide, none of them have room (at least that's what they say). I live in New Jersey...

Hi everyone. I hoping that someone can help me with this. I just rescued a stray cat that may have been someones pet at one time. He is a male who is not neutered and apparently was in some sort of fight. He is currently in my holding room. He has a sore between his eye and ear with puss and a...

Hi KTLynn. It is sad that 2 of my ferals disappeared. I try not to think about it though because I do miss them so. As far as the 5 socializing kittens, we kept 2 and adopted out 3. My husband was out of work at the time, so he would sit outside with a small cage and a string attached to the...

Hi Gratefulbear69. Could you put a large dog house with straw in the wooded area? I have both a shed and a dog house. My ferals mostly use the shed, but occasionally they are in the dog house (really - no pun was intended!). Right now they are not leaving the shed. However, yours may go into the...

Hi Hissy! Thank you for your suggestion. I will definately add it to my list of tries. Do I crush the pill up or leave it whole? (I am assuming that my vet will administer meds to me - she knows me very well and no longer requires to see my cats when I describe their problems - colds, worms...

Hi KTLynn! Thanks for the information. Do you know where I can get the Snugglesafe Micro Discs? I am definately interested in getting that. My shed and a huge doggie house near it has straw on the floors for them. I will definately try the suggestions regarding meds in the food. Because I live...
