I am very torn about catching a feral mama cat. A few days ago she crossed two 6 week old babies to the food source where I feed her. Now I am not sure that she doesn't have others still left in the woods. I tried looking in there, but there are so many areas that the kittens could be hidden...

Things took a horrible turn last night. She was attacked by my neighbor's two dogs. We heard a cat scream, and went over there. By the time we got there and they checked, she was killed. Never expected this at all. She was so innocent and scared. I couldn't help her in time. And now I do...

Hi. I was here about a year ago, with a similar issue I am going through again. Different cause, same result. A feral kitten, Coonie, I caught 3 years ago, who seemed to be a regular domesticated cat after all this time, jumped out of my window through the side of the air conditioner...

Am feeding a few feral colonies. In each area I am having problem with people in the area. No one around wants to help the cats, they don't want them around at all. These cats in each area were there, starving. No one cared enough to put down food. Some people are nasty and will...

I am so miserable right now. I lost 5 cats since the middle of December one from the cold and and 3 from an FIP outbreak and an older cat. Now tonight one of the ferals I have been feeding for years was hit by a car, and we were there-though we didn't know it even happened at first. A lady...

Clindamycin works great for teeth issues/gum inflammation. Have an FIV cat and over time clindamycin tremendously helped and improved his mouth...

Am still doing a lot of research about FIP,trying to understand what has just happened here. For something that is so "uncommon" it seems like there are way too many cases that are showing of FIP. I just found this website that has a fund for FIP research. I don't know if everyone already knows...

First, you did the right thing by getting him right to the vet (regardless of the exoribitant amount they may try to charge because of an ER visit). One of my kittens had one, it a horrible thing to watch! Luckily, he seems okay now and putting him on antibiotics is a good thing as a...

I have taken in multiple cats without testing. Is it not really recommended, but if it is to leave t hem out in the freezing cold or take them in and try to help them, I do. The only thing is keep them seperated, don't share food and water bowls, and if possible, litter boxes, where most things...

If you can't get a container, I have been using two home depot moving boxes together. One normal and the second one wrapped around the first. Then I took a vinyl table cloth, wrapped it around the box and cut two holes in it, one side and then the other. Then put the straw in it. Since the...

If it is a scratch it may go away on its own. However, from my own dealing with a bad eye injury in my Mickey, it is best to check with the vet and get the necessary eye ointment asap. The more time that lapses where treatment is needed the more chance of scarring. Hopefully, it won't be...

Would glucoseamine be an option? I have an arthritic dog who is only about 8 years old, and the vet said that glucosamine would help relieve the arthritis. Don't know if this is commonly used on felines, if so, it may be an alternative. Also, maybe try getting a second opinion, to see what a...

Probably nothing to worry about. I have a few cats that will sit on their hind legs lazily while playing. It is also possible she could have some type of damage to her hind legs where she has learned to compensate for it, or it is just how she is. If it doesn't seem to bother her or look like...
