I agree with cat lover about something scaring her badly enough to alter her normal behavior. Have you ever let her outside alone? You said she followed a dog around, maybe one snapped at her or a fellow student did something without you knowing? Maybe another bee stung her? ...grasping at...

Is Eddie neutered?

Locate a cat rescue group in your area (search online) that will help you find a low cost vet to help you care for this kitten/kittens without breaking your bank. If a kitten's belly is swollen, they may have issues a vet will have to evaluate. I have heard that cats do not digest cow milk very...

{{{{{{{{{adds prayers and vibes}}}}}}}}}}}} We hope Gracie gets home sick and returnes safely too!

...such beautiful cats (and great shots)! They must not be spayed and/or neutered if one has tom fight scars. Are you going to adopt them? It's a shame they are allowed to wander freely, something may happen to them. Thank you for sharing!

Well said, Momo! I don't post to lecture but there are so many horrors waiting for domestic cats out there. We have 37 house cats and just moved to the mountains last year. Just the thought of letting them roam free freaks me out because of all the kids with pellet guns and new cars we know are...

...has Gracie been spayed?

Yea...we are familiar with this problem. We have 37 house cats and have gone through just about every urine and feces trial a cat could think of putting a human through. Try using rubbing alcohol to help get rid of the smell in the tub and on the floor (the cheap pharmacy stuff works the best)...

Thanks for posting Soka. ...check out the zoning laws for where you want to start your shelter and hire a good accountant. Plan on losing money every year and set yourself up with a 501(c)3 "not for profit" tax status so you can accept donations. Plan on setting up people to donate their time...

yea Katie...there isn't much anybody can do unless a large, wealthy animal rights group becomes involved. Money talks and most of us are financially strapped because we spend all our money on caring for the cats we were able to save. If this kind soul had her story posted in the local newspaper...

Best of luck finding your Chicky but why did you let her outside knowing she was not spayed? Domestic cats are not local wildlife but wild animals who eat smaller animals don't care about that, neither do obnoxious drivers who look for cats along the sides of roads to run over and used for...

These guys are good! We took our two dogs there, here's the run down: We got there Monday morning thinking we would have to follow the spay-van to the clinic with our dangerous dog but the driver told us we would only qualify for special prices if the dogs are taken to the clinic "IN" the van...

...email the cat rescue groups on Petfinders.com for the Baltimore area and ask if they could schedule a low cost alter for your rescue. Can I post a contact email address in this forum or do I have to PM it? We used to live right outside Baltimore.

oh that's great! I hope Revolution works too! -kiki

Katie! Somebody from one of the links you gave me responded and I sent the information to the people who schedule the feedings at Ft. Armistead, thank you forever for that. The lady I sent the information to is my "cat mentor" who has been doing rescue for 25 years and she has more on her...

Hey Katie! They are calling it "Spay Virginia" but take many out of state clients and set dates for the low cost services. They ask to be paid in advance so they know exactly how many animals will be there and ask for them to be dropped off during early morning hours in secure carriers. We sent...

...tell me about it! We're tired of getting gouged by vets for the cost of meds and services that are not justifiable. There was nothing we could do about it but complain until now. There should be harsher laws against overcharging for medical services for people and animals in this country.

yea...asthma & allergies over here, which is another reason we moved to the mountians. Our doctor perscribed allergy meds twice a day for me and told us to get rid of all the cats (as if that would ever happen). If we had a child who ended up with the same condition, the cats would have to go to...

Have you looked into Notoedric mange yet? ...it's not scabies, just a dandruff-like mite that thinks it's a flea and does similar damage. The ear shots on your baby look very similar to the ears we've seen on some of our kitties when we first got them. I hope this is the case with yours because...

Hi and thanks for posting. One of my cats (Imp) does that and I have no idea why. I have been using a mild lavander salve on my hands when I massage her and that seems to help. It only happens around this time of year and I was wondering if your cat's over-licking behavior happens at the same...
