    Transitioning Indoor Cat To Outdoors Full-time? Any Advice Or Success Stories?

    That's usually what rescues around here do too I think. I've been debating on that because at least here she'll be outside with another cat she knows and in our yard which she's familiar with. If she does go outside she would have an insulated, shingled house with a heat lamp and a bed...

    Transitioning Indoor Cat To Outdoors Full-time? Any Advice Or Success Stories?

    I didn't when I put her in her own room but when we had all 4 cats in the house (before our outdoor cat moved outside again) I had 6 boxes throughout all 3 levels of the house so there was plenty of options? Right now she's just temporarily living in the spare room until we can figure out what...

    The one I had already contacted was All Cats Rescue in Sioux Falls.

    Transitioning Indoor Cat To Outdoors Full-time? Any Advice Or Success Stories?

    Thank you! I had heard of Mitchell Animal Rescue but thought it was a pro-kill shelter. I'll definitely look into it. I haven't heard of the one in Parkston and that's not too far so I'll contact them right away. Thanks again!

    Transitioning Indoor Cat To Outdoors Full-time? Any Advice Or Success Stories?

    Not other than for a few minutes here or there where we've been outside with her. She doesn't seem to like it very much truthfully. She pees in the litterbox sometimes, but never poops in it. She poops in hidden places all over the house. (Closets, under furniture that's tall enough she can...

    I found one place that will take cats like her but it's like 6+ hours away and a $200 cost up front and $45/month to live there the rest of her life.

    Transitioning Indoor Cat To Outdoors Full-time? Any Advice Or Success Stories?

    That was my hope too. I think she might do better in a home as an only cat or with someone who has more experience with behavioral issues. Unfortunately I live in a really small town and there really aren't a lot of organizations available. We don't have any local shelters other than the humane...

    Transitioning Indoor Cat To Outdoors Full-time? Any Advice Or Success Stories?

    To be frank, I really don't have the option to try anything else on that so advice on that wouldn't be as helpful at this point. My husband wants her gone as of yesterday. Understandably so, as she's been doing this pretty much her entire life. At this point it is either outside or the humane...

    Transitioning Indoor Cat To Outdoors Full-time? Any Advice Or Success Stories?

    I have a 4 year old cat (Lillie) that will not litter box train. She is spayed and does not have health problems and we have tried a variety of boxes, litters, and locations. I have also tried isolating her in a room by herself to retrain, and it does not work. Even in her own space with a...

    Cat Has Been In Cone For Two Months... Grooming Questions Now That It's Time To Remove?

    I could try bathing him but I really don't think I'd be able to hold him down. Maybe it would be a good idea to at least call a professional groomer and ask - I never thought of that! We tried baby onesies and even one of those surgical cat suits on him before the cone but he would get out of...

    Cat Has Been In Cone For Two Months... Grooming Questions Now That It's Time To Remove?

    My cat Murphy has been in a cone for around two months. His obsessive licking turned into very bad hot spots that turned into a staph infection. We completed the two weeks of ointment and medicine, but the vet mentioned it might not be a bad idea to leave the cone on until the skin heals...
