New Age Pet ECTH350 ecoFLEX Albany Outdoor Feral Cat House, Multicolor about $90.00 Not a great link, this is what I bought a couple weeks ago on Amazon. Put straw inside. So far, feral kittens play inside but sleep in the makeshift shelter I made out of a styrofoam cooler that has straw inside...

Yep. I saw your picture and thought the same!

My beauty smoochie boy in 2017. A rare few years he was an only fur baby. The following year had to take in my sisters 3 cats. LeRoy adapted like a champ.

LeRoy is now in peace. The home euthanasia was the best thing to do. The sedation shot put him to sleep purring in my arms. He looked so happy to finally get some rest. The Lap of Love vet put him in a lined basket with a pillow after and covered him like a baby. We completely lost it when her...

That’s just what I mean. Am I forcing him with the syringe more comfort to me or Leroy? He does drink plenty of water with no problem. I’ll just leave treats and food out. I do have all the bowls elevated for comfort. BTW, last week the vet did check his heart and said everything sounded normal...

Yes. I had to do the home euthanasia 2 times before. It is a very good choice. Wish I’d known about it earlier in my life. We have an appointment for tomorrow. Found someone on the 3rd try. Leroy has become very difficult to feed because he will stop swallowing after half the syringe. He is in...

I did not get the US. The waiting list at emergency vet is over a day. They could’ve guarantee we would be seen promptly after the wait either. I gave him a dose of the ear med at 2:00pm after 1 syringe of food. He will stop swallowing after about 1/2 of the surine I talked this over with my...

Forgot to mention, I think the vet said his T4 was 7

I was able to contact the vet this morning. His urine showed no other problems. She was pretty sure his behavior problems are due to dementia. He started peeing on the floor( and his litter box) yesterday. I was having a difficult time getting an answer if I should proceed with the thyroid...

Furballsmom, Thank you for the link and suggestions. Syringe feeding is the only option right now. Tried the others. We had another hyperthyroid cat. 100% different behavior! She had the classic insatiable appetite. Lost her to kidney desease 6 weeks after Radio Cat. Don’t understand that one...

5 nights ago we were awakened by my 17.6 year old cat (LeRoy)with loud meowing and pacing. Next day I noticed he was eating much less and was pacing all day. Next day ate even less and even refused treats. Saw vet on Thursday (today’s Saturday). Did exam, sq fluid blood work and shot of...

Wow! That is a really nice kitty motel! I had one shelter for a stray that I put together with plywood and plexiglass windows. I had to keep it outside next to the house on a wood deck. I put it on top of a styrofoam sheet for better insulation. I also put a heating pad inside under some...

FeebysOwenwer, My desperation brought me to this site. I’m so grateful to read all the tips and stories by all who have been there done that. I have a happy ending to tell, thanks for the acknowledgement to our little cookie! p.s. he hates me

My male 11 yr old dsh did not eat even one bite of food for 6 days after a puncture wound or bite to his backside. Drank water though. I brought this concern to the emergency vet plus my regular vet when we were able to get an appointment. I had to force feed him for 3 days. Just like it...

I am so sorry about your baby! Boy, that makes me mad about the incompetence of the vet. We have had many stupid dxs or missed dxs in our 40 year cat history. Good for you pointing out to them all the screw ups. You likely will save some other person such heartache. Wish I had some wisdom to...

I agree with Casper’s Human, The borax mix will help kill the entire colony. We have a terrible problem with ants here come spring time. Terro works exactly as advertized. When we had a problem in the fall it seemed Terro was not working as well. Bought Advion Ant bait on Amazon. All ants gone...

Thank you for the encouragement! I was only able to syringe feed, 3 times daily for 3 days. He was fighting so much I thought he would hurt himself with the struggle. I did have him wrapped in a towel which was another barrier for me. He trashed so violently the last syringe feed I nearly...

I am so sorry! Please find comfort in knowing you did everything in your power to help. Thank you for the beautiful pictures of your sweetheart. We had a similar experience with one of our babies. Even if we rushed her to the emergency, they would not have been able to revive her. An ugly...

This morning I cleaned Romeos personal litter box. Hurray! Poop. Can‘t believe I wrote this. He is still eating very little but he never was a big eater of wet food, no interest in the dry Purina that is always freshly put out. Seems he’s lost interest in Temptation treats. I have better...
