He told me that he’s “already opened up a case” on me, filed an animal abuse report on me, told me I’m already being investigated, submitted my camera for evidence, told me I wouldn’t get away with this, said I was disgusting, vile, creepy, etc. Filing a false police report is considered a...

Here is the little boy after a bath - with a better camera. We utilized a temporarily setup similar to that used for the later stages two earlier kittens abandoned in our garage by their mother. We needed to keep them isolated from our indoor cats in our garage until they weaned off the...

Attached is crop of a scanned photo from when he was still outside with his all black mother. We believe the father is a large similarly spotted male that roams the neighborhood. His name is MooMoo, aka Mooey, as his coat resembles some holstein cows housed at a dairy about 1,200 feet from here...

2020 will be among the worst of years for the loss of cats. In 2019 our only male, who we rescued from a farm in December, 2000, had developed arthritis in his hips. He also developed a benign lump in his hips that made one leg a lot weaker. He began to loose weight and muscle mass in his...

Thanks for the replies. I sent a email earlier today; however, I not too hopeful on a reply as they run a clinic for small animals and are likely to provide free advice. I also mentioned I got the information from my vet, in which case they may not want to comment out of fear of violating the...

We are suppose to continue giving him 1/2 of a pain pill for the next 2 weeks and check back. The vet had no explanation for the weight loss. The information supposedly came from a web site, which apparently must be only be for vets if its exists at all as I have found nothing that pertains to...

Our 18 1/2 year old male developed a heavy limp in the right rear leg at a undetermined time. He still likes to climb on the couch and sit in the sun so we figured he may have bruised himself coming down. Decided to take him to the vet as he was having trouble walking - clearly trying to put...
