Have you checked with Costco about the possibility of getting the food through their pharmacy (possibly with Rx from your vet)? I think you as a non-member can enter by telling the door person you wish to use the pharmacy. Good luck! Rescue groups can take advantage of Costco pricing for...

Sweet photos -- beautiful kitty! Returning after three days is a good omen. I (failed) fostered a group of five who had been fed but not handled. At one point early on the sole male, guessed age 12 months, escaped from a cage and we retrieved him from a wall light fixture by pushing him into a...

Have you thoroughly searched the area your cat may have gone to, for remnants of the bat? My cats frequently leave the head behind when eating mice they've caught. It's the head that's checked for rabies; don't know how long after the kill the head would be usable.

Wilma is beautiful! If the weather isn't too awful, try putting Betty outside in a carrier, maybe someplace where you can see her but she can't see you. Hopefully she'll whine or meow, calling for Wilma or just to get back inside, and Wilma will hear, recognize her call, and follow the meow home.

Also notify/check with any nearby veterinarians, animal clinics, humane society, etc.

Since she's a kitten, you might try setting a small trap (like a Havahart small for rabbits, skunks -- maybe rent or check with your local animal control or a rescue group), wrapped in a blanket or rug and with her food and a small towel or something inside (best if it had her scent). Start at...

A new filtered water system, purchased at vet's suggestion, so frightened our normally laid back Eddy that for days he pushed his body against the door frame, making himself as "skinny" as possible, when going into his room to avoid walking near where it stood. I think it was the motor's sound...

WOW! So great to hear such good news -- glad you didn't give up! How did you catch them?

Keep trying! WIth your caring determination, you'll have them in hand soon. Alicia has a good suggestion -- trappers in the group I volunteer with often use sardines (cheap human variety) with an "appetizer" trail of juice from the can leading to the trap, and it's quite effective. Hope you're...

They are adorable! What does the Mom look like? What an amazing example of cat intelligence and "mom cat love"! She knows those babies need you and is probably so proud and wanted you to see them. Hang in there -- rescue is so worthwhile and what a great feeling of accomplishment when those...

I'm new here and don't know what I'm doing -- but I'm familiar with your situation and know how you feel. This has worked for me with a little guy who spent three days alone after mom and siblings were caught. Get a second trap. Put mom in a secured (sprung) trap and place second (open) trap in...
