OK, will do. Thanks.

No, she has not had any shots recently.

My cat has recently developed a skin problem. Between her front shoulder blades is a spot that has a scab and appears to have been bleeding. She is long-haired. I recently went on vacation, and did not notice it before I left, but I returned after 10 days (I had a friend stop by to check on...

Just wanted to let you all know, he is adopted out to a woman who works at the local science museum. She seems pretty nice and is looking for a cat to replace the one that her son took to school. So it looks like all is going to turn out well! Thanks everyone for your advice!!

I have tried introducing them to each other, so far they have not gotten along at all. I still am mostly keeping them separate to avoid any hissing/spitting/fighting matches. I am sure with time, it could work out, but I really don't want to stress my kitty out that much, especially after...

Well, in my difficulty in finding a home or shelter for him, I still have him. His behavior has gotten alot better in the past couple of days, so I wonder if it is just that he needed some time to settle down. Does anyone know what the usual story is about Humane Societies? They are the...

OK, so I have more questions...I got the cat to the vet, and it turns out she's a HE.....he's a healthy 2 year old, and anyway, I thought it was probable that (s)he wanted out so badly because (s)he was in heat, but that can't be the case now. It turns out he is neutered too. So, any idea why...

Yup. No luck. I've also put up flyers at mailboxes in the surrounding apartment complexes....some have been torn down twice (after I put them back up again). I don't understand why someone would do that.

I have tried all the local shelters, the only one accepting cats is the humane society which does not have a "no-kill" policy. All the others are overpopulated--they say this is "kitten season". She is not microchipped--I did manage to get her in for a scan but not for a full checkup at my...

I have another question--is it possible for me to pass any diseases from the stray cat to my kitty just by handling both? They are not sharing a litter box (yes, the stray does seem to know how to use one) and they are not sharing food. I have been petting both and allowing both to sit in my...

That is not a bad idea to have her scanned for a microchip. I hadn't thought of that. I assumed that since my landlord doesn't know of anyone missing a cat in my complex, she probably is not lost (maybe abandoned though), but it's possible she has gotten too far from home for me to know where...

Outwardly, she doesn't seem ill. She is also very friendly when she is outside--she will walk right up to you and let you pet her if you call her. She doesn't act distressed like this at all. I do realize that she may have diseases (which is why she is separated from my kitty) but I just...

I have found a cat that has apparently been hanging around my neighborhood for a month. I don't believe she's an outdoor cat, because she has no front claws, and is too hungry to be owned by someone. So I'm guessing she's either lost or abandoned. I am trying to find her a new home, and...
