Thank you for the information. I called my vet and have an appt. next Friday. The vet will at that time do an evaluation and preform all needed tests. While talking to the receptionist, she did mention diabetes as being a possible cause of his excessive weight. I checked out your web sites and...

I adopted a four year old cat today. His name is Cole. He might be part Maine Coon. He is very large. But he never eats human food or canned food. I tried to get him to eat both once I got him home he wasn't even the least bit interested. I adopted him from a foster home that I trust to tell me...

KTLynn, I hadn't thought about the moisture, It's been really cold here lately but no snow,Yet. Tonight we're supposed to get around six inches and when that starts to melt it's going to be a mess in there. I'll have to get some hay. Thanks for letting me know about that before everything became...

KTLynn,I would really love to do a TNR with these cats. I had gotten them used to us to the point that they would come into my house, as long as the screen door stayed open a few inches, to eat their dinner. That was my goal. But I could not find any vets in this area that would do this free of...

I've been feeding two adult and two about 6 month old ferals everyday at 8:00 p.m. I put out two bowls of kitten food mixed with one can of food in each bowl. I figured kitten food might give them extra fat to get them through the winter. It's been so cold schools have been closed. Is there...

The only place even somewhat close to me (1 hour away) wants proof that I can keep feeding and taking care of the cats after spay/neuter. I will but I rent a townhouse in a co-op and this is strictly forbidden. I am having hand surgery tomorrow, and will be off work for several weeks. Thursday...

A neighbor and I have been feeding a group of feral cats and kittens in our neighborhood for a couple of months. We started doing this to win their trust and then we had hoped to take them to a no kill shelter. Well I got them to the point where they will come into my kitchen to eat. There are...

Thanks skizzorhand and lotsocats. I'm thinking thats what she's doing, giving love bites.

I've had Emmie for about 6 weeks. When we first got her she was covered in scabs from a food allergy. She loved being petted and having the loose scabs taken out of her fur. Now she is pretty much healed. Almost no more sores!! But now when we pet her she puts her mouth on our hands. Very...

With all the love you are giving Squeeker I'm sure he will be able to overcome anything life gives him!!! He already has the love of a good family to see him through anything. As sad as his past is he has a bright future since he is in good hands. Good thoughts being sent to Squeeker

Poor kitty!! She is really lucky to have found a great recovery home!! When I fostered a young cat with a fractured leg I was given a canned pet food to feed her. It was chicken wings but cooked so that the bones were very soft and could be easily eaten and digested by cats. It was to give her...

Sammy's lucky to have found you!! Poor guy went through a lot of stress. It's suprising how some cats can put rough pasts behind them and still be loving and trusting.

Thank you jeanor, I already love it here!!

I posted on here reciently about my rescue Emily and her skin condition. I can't find that thread so I thought I'd post a new one. Emmie is 13 years old, fixed and declawed as a kitten, she spent her first 10 years as a strictly outdoor cat. The past three years she has been a mostly indoor...
