Good news on your kitty. We just had to put down one of our beloved furry friend due to cancer and feline AIDS. I remember very clearly hoping that what we were seeing in our Tranquilo was nothing serious only to find out that it was very serious.  While our ending wasn't so happy I am thankful...

We have one of the 4 cats we are caring for that has had great vet care before leaving Canada/Costa Rica to move to Haiti. She is quite stunning and healthy compared to this Haitian cats who have had little to no vet care. I am still searching out a solution to the vet issue. There are many...

How in heaven's name have any of you managed to bathe a cat? I wouldn't likely survive the experience. My eyes woulds would scratched out. Also, when I went to get Revolution while visiting in the US (I live in Haiti) I was told by several stores that I had to take my cat into a vet, which, of...
