Thank you so much for all your kind words and thoughts Puss is continuining to look better, the rash area is healing nicely, his sneeze and nose irritation has gone and he is looking generally brighter The transfer factor seems to be doing him some good
Thank you all Puss is showing some signs of brightening up but I still have to keep an eye on the small rash on his neck and any other symptoms that may arrise. As well as the antibiotic paste, he's also been given Transfer Factor Plus, which I think is going to be very good for him
Here are...
Thank you so much all
Here's a picture of my baby boy ...taken with a camera phone, I have some proper ones I will put up soon as I get them developed.
My Special Baby Boy Puss (photo taken about 3 months ago)
My beautiful nearly 17 year old male cat Puss is showing the first signs of symptomatic FIV. He's been FIV+ for about 10 years but has been asymptomatic until recently. A visit to the Vets today showed that he had some nasal irritation (he's had some sneezing bouts lately) and more ominously a...
Thanks Hissy, the idea of having Cleo put to sleep at home is a good one, unfortunately my Dad will not accept the idea regardless of where it is done. 16 years ago my beautiful big male cat Thomas, who my dad was also extremely attached to, had to be put to sleep. He had gotten sick and by the...
My parents have a beautiful 16 year old fluffy little black and white cat called Cleo. My Dad is especially attached to her, he is her "most precious baby in the whole world". I understand my Dad loves her, but this cat is in such poor condition it's heartbreaking to see. She has had a heart...
WellingtonCats - We have the RSPCA and Animal Welfare League here but they don't have a no kill policy. We do have the only TNR program in Australia though which is obviously a good thing, a group called Cats Assistance To Sterilise (C.A.T.S) traps and neuters feral cat colonies for release and...
I will absolutely not go anywhere near the local cat shelters, I simply cannot stand to see so many kitties looking for homes and knowing that unless I take them if they don't find homes they will be destroyed. Unfortunately in South Australia, where I'm from, there are no "no kill" shelters...
I'm sorry, I don't know what happened but I was logged out just as I pressed the post button and somehow after logging back in this was posted here and not in Feral Cat Rescue like I had meant it to be could someone move the thread to the approriate forum..thank you
Thought I'd share with you all the story of the 2 Feral cats I have had the pleasure of being involved in the socialising of directly and indirectly

"What's that ball of fluff doing on the lawn" my mum exclaimed looking out the window one day, then the ball of fluff moved...
It is more than possible to socialise a feral cat. You will never completely tame them, not to the point that they became cuddly house cat (if it is a true feral and not just a stray) but with a lot of patience and gentle persistence it is possible to be able to pat them and give them lots of...
absolutely not ...if the cat needed a home and I was in the postition to provide one then colour, breed etc would not matter...so long as the cats temperment was good and I could bond well with them. Although on the other hand although temperment is what I look for well and truly above breed...
thank you for your kind words. One of our other purr babies has been quite sooky with me tonight and has decided to park himself firmly on my lap and purr away...I think he's trying to comfort me...bless his little paws

Barney (our little Google oogle) passed over peacefully 7.00 pm Wednesday Nov 2nd...RIP Little Mate
RIP little google oogle Sadly had to make the difficult decision and have the vet assist our friend in finding peace. His thyroid condition had not responded to medication as we hoped, in the last month of his life we were almost to afraid to stroke him or pick him up for fear of hurting him...
Ok this time I will be book marking the site
Anyway I posted some months back about my baby boy Puss who I was concerned may have been experiencing the onset of dementia. He's fine It is just the natural progression of age and a lot of his spraying and confusion was stemming from a slight...
