    Why my Cat lives Indoors - Disturbing

    You are right Plebayo. Once I thought it was okay to let my angel (now in heaven), go outside the front of the house since she never went any further. Well one day Angel was outside and several kids picked her up to take her with them (maybe they just wanted to keep her) and my neighbor saw...

    How ridiculous!!

    Why don't you send this ignorant woman an email or leave her a message and tell her what you think, whichever you feel more comfortable doing. I do tell them firmly now that they are dumping their cats/dogs - they need to be told off. They're cruel - unless it is truly something like illness...

    Foster Homes Needed In Maryland

    I was wondering if any group members or even individuals here would like to foster and place some cats and kittens, who are from Maryland. We just rescued a cute black mama and her two kittens (both black) and a very nice brown/ gray tiger-striped boy who is desperate for a home. We found him...

    Need opinions/feedback, please

    I am also glad that things turned out so good for Gabe. Amy Jo is right , all of the cities have a huge problem with homeless cats who are frightened of people, and need most of all to be fed and given water . You can ride around at night and see the poor things wandering the streets and the...

    OMG IS IT JUST ME OR are vets getting more and more expensive??

    Yes Vets are really expensive and it's especially hard on people who have more than a few kittys and dogs to care for. Dental work alone can really be high. I wish that some of the well-off rescues in different states, would open their own Vets practices, hire the Vets and staff , it would...

    I need information on s/n for ferals...

    You might try Friends of Animals too, Charmed ,they have a S/N certificate program and it would be so nice if they could offer you more assistance since they are a well-financed group. So happy you're feeding these little ones, they need us to care about them. Maybe a local vet or groomer might...

    What products do you use for your cat's teeth?

    I've been looking up dental care threads for caring for the kittys and dogs teeth. I haven't heard of using a wash cloth before, but that might be a good way to do it with some cet poultry toothpaste on it. Guaze seems to sometimes get stuck on one of their teeth and I don't like to use it...

    Taking care of strays...

    I really appreciated reading your ideas about helping the strays, kittycity, we all seem to run into the same problems with rescue work, it is very difficult and sad to deal with. I always write about the desperate need for more people to volunteer in the cities where there are so many homeless...

    Animals to be PTS in Detroit..DESPERATE help is needed

    Well hopefully this is true that they will continue basic services, at the least. I think it would be good though that the rescue groups in Michigan get involved with pulling the animals from the Detroit shelter on a regular basis. There are many more animals turned into...

    Gardenandcats is right you can find a local rescue group to help you catch her, if you don't of any, just call the vet's office and they'll be able to refer you to one. http://furryfriendsrescue.bravehost.com/

    Help needed in Maryland

    No , very few people feed the strays in the inner city and housing projects, I've been going down there for a long time now and I know 4 other people who do many alleys in the city and that's the number one problem here, the cats and dogs are not fed or given water and that includes many pets...

    Help needed in Maryland

    You have a good point about the rescues needing to get involved with the strays on the city streets instead of only pulling from shelters, I've talked about this for a long time. With enough volunteers we could reduce the stray population in the inner cities with just sheer numbers. Trust...
