    New kitten

    I adopted an older kitten yesterday. The best age guess is between 4-7 months. She is a bit jumpy(especially when she is eating) but is very loving and still very kitten playful. She purrs when you walk into the room, you don't even have to pet her. She is unused to dogs and growled and hissed...

    shots make cat tired/drowsy?

    She was adopted by a feral rescue group. She was feeling better the next day, hissing and scratching. It took towels and two people to get her out of the cage and into a crate. One person got really deep scratches and was going to the doctor right after they got her loaded up. The group is...

    shots make cat tired/drowsy?

    Thanks for clearing that up. I hope she is feeling better tomorrow. I wouldn't want to lay on cold steel so of course she wouldn't. Another thing that worries me is that none of the cats had any water available. I plan on talking to the shelter about this. I may have just come at a bad time and...

    Do all male cats mark territory?

    The cats did not come from homes were they were only ones, they lived in homes where they were only ones. There was no other pet to compete with, unless they saw an animal through the window(all were inside only cats). All the animals except two females(who were fixed after kittens)were fixed...

    shots make cat tired/drowsy?

    I was at the local animal shelter earlier and they had several beautiful cats but one in particular stood out to me. She was a long haired already spayed young/adult cat. The was sitting in her litter box(they had just been cleaned and several were sitting or playing in them) but she looked...

    Advice on how to catch semi-feral kitten?

    The vet called today and it is bad news. The kittens all have large amounts of their bowels dead and they cannot process food. They are to be put down. Everything is being documented to bring up charges against the woman. It is so sad.

    Do all male cats mark territory?

    I was just wondering what people's experiences are with males and marking. My family has always had cats(usually each house had one, sometimes two) and out of all the male cats in all the different houses who were all fixed at a young age they still marked territory by urinating on clothes...

    Advice on how to catch semi-feral kitten?

    The kittens have been captured. Sadly, when we got there(we as in I and one of the organizations) we discovered the woman had not been feeding the kittens regularly. They were only getting fed every few days. When a kitten isn't fed in three or more days it's body starts to shut down. The...

    Advice on how to catch semi-feral kitten?

    Would a feral cat not ever come near you even if it meant they didn't get the food you brought? She recommended getting the kitten used to me the same way they got used to her. She put food down close to her and after about an hour if the kittens didn't come over to eat, she'd get up and take...

    Advice on how to catch semi-feral kitten?

    I think my first cat chose me since I was the only one in months she had gotten even slightly close to, much less close enough to pick up. I hope one of these kittens chooses me too. Working with it a home is no problem since I already have the room set up for the kitten. I hope one chooses me...

    Advice on how to catch semi-feral kitten?

    I would love to have two kitties but my husband is slightly allergic to cats so one is all he's willing to live with. Sadly, we do not have any organizations around here that do TNRs. I also have a dog who is used to playing with a cat so sadly I have to pick a specific one who will fit in best...

    Advice on how to catch semi-feral kitten?

    I have been looking for a kitten for the family for a while now. I have found a potentially very good candidate. It is a litter of 7 kittens who have been living on an elderly mans farm. He does not want them and said I could have one. His daughter feeds them and says that three will come out...
