I am fostering a sick adult cat for a shelter. She is about 3, but looks like a senior cat. Her coat is dirty and unkempt and she is seriously underweight. She was adopted as a kitten and surrendered for her health. No good details provided. Blood work and urinalysis showed nothing abnormal...

My senior cat (18 years old) was diagnosed several months back with kidney failure.  She has been doing relatively well, though these past few weeks she has started to decline.  I adopted her as a senior - I have little history.  She recently stopped eating completely and became very lethargic. ...

I have a kitten who is recovering from a nasty URI.  The past few days he has drastically improved - his eyes are clear (still medicating), he is eating on his own and very well, and he is playing with toys. Now that he is feeling better, his patience at being confined has disappeared.  There...

I have a female foster, about 3 years old. She had stopped eating at the shelter and was looking "off."  The first vet check showed increased liver enzymes, which have improved and are normal on the last recheck.  It takes a lot of work still to get her to eat cat food, but this is getting...

This is a 6 year old cat who previously showed no signs of being sick.  Her main symptom is vomiting on a daily basis; sometimes multiple times a day.  Her stools are normal.  Her appetite is good.  She is losing weight and is dehydrated (I am giving subQs as needed) from the vomiting,  and her...

I found a mamma cat and 6 babies (7, but one had already passed)  about 10 days ago.  I'm guessing about 2-3 weeks old now.  Their eyes are open and they are wobbling about a bit.  They react to sound.. I don't see any teeth.  Mamma was not in great shape.  Very friendly and obviously had a...
