Thanks guys! I am going to order some food grade DE to feed to my colony. Does anyone happen to know how long a pound of DE will last when feeding around 8 cats? Thanks a TON guys!!!

Misty8723- I was wondering the same thing!

Willowy- Oh darn! I may have to break my rule, and shop at Petsmart, but only for the SophistaCat. Thanks for letting me know! NutroLori- Well, I prefer to buy in the large cans, since I am feeding multiple cats. Buying the small cans is really not economical for me. I will look around on other...

Thanks so much, again, Ondine! May I ask how long a pound of DE qill last you, and how many cats you use it for? Do you sprinkle it directly on the cat, or do you apply it to the food? Also, where do you buy your de-wormer? And can I use DE in place of a flea and tick product like Capstar...

Thanks a lot! Will any of the Pyrantel Pastes work? Thanks, ~mtm8878

Willowy- Sorry for the confusion...No, I meant a link to the de-wormer. If you can't find it, that is fine, I will just have to do some searching. I will try to place it in food and make sure only one cat eats it, as I can handle none of the cats. If you guys think Profender sounds good, I may...

Well, they have been feral for years, so I really do not plan on ever taming them. As far as other critters, I have necver seen anything besides cats, because it is in a barn, and at night the doors are closed. We have never had other cats just show up, but we have had some dropped off by...

Thank you again for your help! So, do you know of anywhere besides Petsmart to buy SophistaCat? I so not really like shopping at Petsmart becasue they sell live animals, and I would rather my money go to a local feed store than going towards the sale of live animals. Also, for an eight cat...

Thank you, Ondine for your help. Where do you buy your Capstar, and what size pill do you buy? Also, where do you buy the powder you are talking about? Can I shake it directly on the cats skin? Thanks again for all of your help!

So, I am a caretaker of a feral cal colony, and want to make sure they are all healthy and well cared for. As part of care, I thought medicating would be important. So, to insure the healthiness of the cats, I have a few questions: -Do you medicate your feral cats -What flea and tick medication...

Which one do you buy? May I please have a link? And do you have a brand name for the de-worming stuff, or will any one do? I do not want to haarm the cats in any way! How do you make sure each cat gets the correct dosage if you can't touch them? Thanks for all the help, Willowy!

So, I am trying to incoperate canned food into my feral cat colonies diet. However, with a colony of eight, price is a big concern. I like to buy the big (13 oz or so) ounce cans, as they tend to be cheaper. -Where do you buy your canned food, and do you buy in bulk? -What canned food do you...

Thanks a lot everyone for all the helpful advice Willowy- Well, thats good to know that what I am feeding them isn't total junk. I may switch over to another food until the weather warms up to make sure they have enough fat to stay warm That's what I was thinking. Since the canned food isn't...

Thanks a lot guys for all the replys Sharky- Thanks a lot for the diet plan Feralvr- I think I may switch over to the Kirkland brand cat food. I am sure they appreciate anything and everything I have to offer It is deffinately better than what they would be eating out on the street! Thank...

feralvr- Ypu are so welcome! Taking care of ferals is a fun and rewarding task. I am feeding them pretty much dry right now, with a couple cans of wet food once a week. If I can find a cheap, good"ish" quality canned food, I may feed canned more often. As far as freezing water, the barn they are...
