Inclement weather prevented the vet from coming today. It is understandable since she is in a big rv.
His wounds are healing nicely. I have a bottle of cat safe miticide. It is called otomite plus , safe for dogs, cats, kittens and puppies. I didn’t want to treat his ears for anything until...
His name is Peter Pumpkinhead from a song.
Pumpkin for short. He truly has become a therapy animal. I have severe nightmares from ptsd. In past I couldn’t go back to sleep. At times I wouldn’t sleep for days due to fear of the nightmares. I sleep on a sofa with recliners (yes I have a very nice...
A little ditty about the stray who became my ptsd therapy cat. (Coming from someone who showed dogs for over 20 years)
A dog person I was and that was that!
But what showed up was a huge orange cat.
He bellowed real loud for all to hear,
It’s bitter cold. I’ll be a dear.
I told him firmly...
Oh wow, I have so much to learn about cats. I didn’t even know a cat could have herpes.
My cats have all been found in the yard.
One as a kitten the vet said he had a cold and would out grow it. He did.
I understand the fear to your present cat(s)
being infected with something. I’m...
I have been worried he might have something contagious and give it to my cats.
But the symptoms for aids and leukemia don’t seem to fit him. His stool is firm, he has a very healthy appetite. They not been in direct contact with him but there is a gap under the bathroom door. A towel didn’t...
I appreciate the advice but more importantly the emotional support. I was very distraught when I posted. I completely understand not being able to offer veterinary health care advice. In actuality I trust my vet completely. She understands my financial situation and takes all into account when...
i have been caring for two homeless cats for a year plus. The female is completely wild. I trapped her and got her spayed. The male is nicer but wouldn’t go in a trap. Over the year he has come to trust me. He must have been somebody’s kitty a long time ago. He got injured real bad. He was...
Keeneland, kudos to you! Wow I'm so glad I found this site. I am learning so much! I am in the country too. The coyotes around here have gotten pretty brave. I can't even let my 55 pound dog out in the main yard. She has a huge fenced exercise area, but it needs new gravel base, muddy. I let her...
Oh my! Nox is so gorgeous!! He is so lucky to have found a friend in you. Your story of progression with him brought tears to my eyes. I don't know if this would work. I'm new to cats. I have only been adopted about 6 months.
If you know someone with a large wire dog crate. Put one kitty in it...
Thank you for clarifying. I'm happy to say we are on the same page :)
I'm new to this and didn't even know about tnr until about 6 months ago, so I'm still learning the lingo. Thank you for not being insulted at my question.
I'm so glad I found this site. For someone who never owned cats before, my husband and I are smitten! Literally my husband is constantly photoing or videoing, lol
I'll post to that forum soon. Thank you for the warm welcome!
I don't understand something. Are y'all releasing the animals back where you trapped them? Sorry for the stupid question. I am going to trap my ferals in the spring. It is too cold to sit in a cage if I don't see them. But I will have no choice but to release the three I'm going to get done...
I haven't been able to think of anything either. I just feed at the same time each day. I only give my ferals a night feeding. I shake one of the bowls and holler here kitty kitty. Within a few minutes they all come up and eat it all up.
I'm surrounded by fields and woods, so I guess whatever...
Hi all, I'm new to the site. I have never had cats before. At 50, now I find myself with three! 6 months ago, I found a litter of kittens in my old pigeon loft. I didn't touch them but put mom some food and water outside the loft. She is feral and has lived around here for several years. Her...
The one I have is exactly like that!! The carpet isn't really carpet and is thin. I made some little pillows for the top perches. I got mine from hayneedle. They are 6 feet tall. Now for the great part part!! 79.99 and that INCLUDES shipping!!! Woot!~
