I am looking for some advice. We have four male indoor cats. A stray girl showed up during the last snow storm and we would like to integrate her, but she tested positive for FIV. All cats, including her, are fixed and very mellow in nature. My husband wants to take the risk and integrate but I...

Ondine, the organization isn't really helping us at all. They just provided the traps and helped pay the first vet bill. Besides that they just decided that we need to foster these guys on our own :( But they and the vet both advised us to be careful handling them for the first 10 days, as that...

No, I have no reason to think this other than the fact that they are strays and I am not sure what they have been exposed to. I am just following the vet's recommendation, as I have never taken care of a stray cat before. From what I have heard, the chances ARE really low, but I want to make...

Wow, those signs sound terrifying. I sure hope that won't happen at all ! Thanks for the info.

I don't know why I did not think of that, duuuh. I will definitely take the bed apart tonight, so that the mattress is directly on the floor. i already have enough hiding spots, but somehow they preferred the bed.

Thank you so much for the input. I really like the idea of lying down on the bed once in awhile. I think I will skip the cages for now then. I am just worried that they will not ever come out from under that bed. Coming back from work, I found them in the exact same corner under the bed that I...

My husband and I own four adult cats. One of my coworkers found two kittens at a hotel, which the managers wanted to get rid of very quickly. We decided to foster them until they are socialized and can be adopted out to a good home. The brother and sister are about 6 weeks old, had their shots...
