I'm waiting for my vet to call me back about this issue but I thought I'd ask here too in the meantime. I have a 4-months old Siamese kitten that I'm fostering. He has just recovered form a URI that he had for several weeks. Other than that he's been fine. Last night he was laying in the...

Luckily I have never seen or dealt with anaphylactic shock and I hope I never will. But I do vaccinate my own cats and my fosters myself so just in case it would happen I bought a bottle of epinephrine which is what I have read is used to treat anaphylactic shock and it was sold for that. The...

Hi, I have an 8-week old foster kitten who has suffered frostbite to both rear paws and the tip of her tail. The paws are not in very good shape. They have been very swollen but the swelling has gone down for the most part. Now the skin on her paws has become very hard and it's breaking and...

I just ordered a bunch of medical supplies for the kitties and threw in a Cat Dancer just because it was cheap. I've seen them in the pet store before but I never thought that they looked like any fun but, boy, was I wrong. My cats love it! A lot. Even the adults that usually don't play much was...

No, but I have a cat that sleeps like this:

Goodness, I just looked at the pics from a declaw surgery on the lisa violet site and the pictures actually made me sick to the stomach. How could anyone that knows what it's about want to do that to their cat? It's really shocking that people care more about the appearence of their furniture...

I have some tiny fosters. Delilah who is four months old is only 2.5 pounds (we're trying to figure out if there is anything wrong with her though). Little Gray who is about 6 months is only 4.5 pounds. His mom, Sheba, is only 6.5 pounds and she's even a bit round around the waist. It's funny...

Unfortunately I'm nowhere near Seattle so I can't help but my advice would be to focus on finding someone to foster the cat for six months. Like you said, an 11-year old black cat is not likely to get adopted. If I was your friend I'd start advertising everywhere and anywhere for someone to care...

Do you mind posting the link?

Thanks a lot for all the replies. This is really a tough one since these people seem so good in every other way. I was so happy that someone was interested in Emile and I thought their application looked so good so when I saw the answer to the declaw question I was so dissapointed. I think that...

What a great idea! I love the fact that the cats get to run around and don't have to sit in cages like they do at most pet stores that have cats for adoption. A pet store around here has two resident cats that run loose in the store. They really seem to live in kitty heaven. They have a number...

I have a dilemma and I need someone else's input on it. I run a small cat rescue and I currently have several kittens up for adoption. I have a litter that is about 4 months old and I haven't had much interest in any of them at all. A couple of days ago I got an email inquireing about one of...

Terramycin works very well on mild conjunctivitis but it does burn quite a bit when you apply it. A vet told me not to use it because it burns while another vet told me that he's never heard that. So I actually decided to try it myself (terramycin is used for humans too) and it surely burned and...

I would really agree with the recommendation about getting a vaporizer. I bought mine for $15 (Vicks brand) and it's been a great investment that has helped a lot of cats with URI. I use it with Vicks Vapor Drops which works wonder. It's menthol drops that you add to the water and you can...

Here is the complete list that I have of organizations. Some don't apply to you but you can weed through them yourself. Go to their websites to read their funding requirements. I'm posting all of them in case they can help someone else too. American Animal Hospital Association >...
