We got a pair of kittens a few weeks ago; they were on the youngish side (7 weeks), but it was a hoarding situation, and it was decided that it was best to rescue them from that (it's complicated, and let's leave it at that). They're now 10 weeks old. We've been keeping them in the guest...

I talked to Animal Control again, and they confirmed that they checked on the kitten and that it was not "in distress." They also apparently informed the young man to not lock the kitten in the RV anymore, which is an utterly ridiculous statement to make, because that's where he lives! Where...

Update: My husband and I went back to the parking lot after work, and discovered that the person living in the van was working in one of the stores there. We asked to talk to him -- it's a college aged kid. I offered to buy the kitten from him, so we could give it a good home. The kid was like...

I was just in a large parking lot, and found a sweet, friendly little kitten running around; I'd estimate he's about 8-9 weeks old. I got him to come to me, and when I read his collar, it said "I belong to RV XXXXX". I looked around and found a small RV a few rows over. It was about the size of...

I'm a web developer, and I'd really like to volunteer my skills to any animal rescues (especially kitty rescues, but I'm not too picky). I've been asking around at some of my local rescue groups to see if anyone would like to take me up on my services, and had no takers so far. I'm a bit...

BUN: 34 creatinine: 1.9 albumin: 3.6 WBC: 6.2 Does that tell you anything? Sounds like our best bet is to start with an X-ray, and then go from there...

I had them fax me the bloodwork results today (going back a couple of years). His T4 levels are in the normal range (1.6), and haven't really changed much over the past couple of years. His glucose levels have risen and fallen in the tests, but were all within normal (106 - 120). The only things...

My 14-year-old male cat has been exhibiting increased thirst and has been losing weight over the past few months, despite eating just fine. We've done two different sets of bloodwork and urine tests over that time, and they both came up perfectly fine. The vet is now suggesting an X-ray and...

My very overweight kitty was put on a diet a few months ago by our vet, and we unfortunately didn't realize she hadn't been eating over the past few weeks (she'd start to eat, but then wander away, and we're guessing our other cat swiped her food). So we rushed her to the vet once we realized...
