I posted last night as part of another CHF thread, but it felt like I was hijacking another person's (albeit old) thread, so I am starting a new one.  A few weeks ago I left for an appointment, and fed my outside boy William and his feral wife Ace before I left. When I came home an hour and a...

My boy William was just diagnosed w severe late stage chf and heart disease after having a blood clot that partially paralyzed his back legs. Treatment with blood thinner helped him regain function. I'm taking him to a cardiologist tomorrow just to make sure he is as stable as possible with the...

This morning I went downstairs to feed kitties and noticed that Roxie was on the bottom level of the cat tree and was moving very slowly. It looked like one of her legs was "asleep" the way our arms or legs go to sleep. I went over to her and sure enough something was wrong, bc she usually darts...

I have to get some for my cat Lulu with small cell lymphoma. I read that the company who manufactures Leukeran went ahead and sold it to a larger company who doubled the price. It is now around $12 a pill.  I posted below where I saw an article from a vet in new york who was able to to get some...

I had a thread that I started almost a year ago last January about our cat Lulu and how she had been losing weight and  had a tumor near her thymus gland. http://www.thecatsite.com/t/253647/first-toby-now-lulu-she-has-a-tumor-in-near-thymus-gland. We took her in for surgery and had it removed...

I'm so mad at myself right now :-(. I agreed to help take a cat from Animal Control for a short time until the adopters could come in from Wisconsin- my conditions were that it had to be healthy, spayed, and friendly as I have immune compromised cats plus my two feral kitties who live outside...

A few weeks ago I told my rescue I would evaluate a mom cat who had a 4 week old litter and was rescued from a really shabby neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. I was out of town the weekend she was rescued but was told she was spayed and given shots along with a shot of convenia as she...

Here is my tribute to dearest sweetest Toby who was the best little boy in the world. We took him to the vet yesterday as his little body was too sick to hold his beautiful bright spirit, and we had to help him, as much as it broke our hearts and devastated us to let him go. Sweetest Toby you...

William is my outdoor boy who lives with his feral mate Ace (they are both fixed etc.). He is around 7 yrs old. We noticed on Thursday that he wasn't eating as much, and on Friday he showed no interest in food at all. He and Ace kept looking worriedly at the neighbors' house, which usually means...

Lulu is our 13 year old long haired beautiful sweet girl. We have been treating Toby with chemotherapy since last April when he was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma.  Since Toby's diagnosis we've been feeding him many different foods at all times of day just to get him to eat, so we weren't...

As some people may know, we are currently treating our kitty Toby for his large cell lymphoma where he just finished chemo and immediately after went out of remission- so is on Rescue chemo now.  I took my other kitty Lulu to the vet yesterday because she hasn't been eating much recently and...

My boy Toby is 12 yrs old. He has always been overweight, but in the last several months he has started losing weight. He is throwing up and his stomach is always making gurgling/growling noises. I took him to the vet who did lots of tests and said he is overall in good health. I had thought he...

I took my boy kitty Toby to the vet last week. He seems always hungry and I have seen him burping and heard his stomach gurgling. He was actually fine until about a year or so ago- I took him to the vet and wanted to schedule a dental. They told me to take some weight off him first, and to feed...

Well, I've had a bunch of postings recently about Abby, the kitty I rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control. She is finally all better and ready for adoption, and I am taking her to her new home on Tuesday afternoon. The only thing is, Abby seems to have sudden unexplained shortness of...

Looking for angels with big hearts and wings and labors of love that can lift a sweet little girl from a dark place of pain and death, to a warm home with life and love. If you live in Chicagoland and/or maybe you know someone who already has a kitty that is given fluids and can find it in...

Hi, I haven't been here in a while; I have been doing a lot of kitty rescue and now that some of my rescues are sick, here I am posting (in another thread) for help. Anyhow it is good to be back, and for anyone who remembers my Ace and William, here is a little video I took of them yesterday...

I rescued several cats from Chicago's Animal Care & Control Friday afternoon along with another shelter. One of them who is in my foster care was fine at first- in fact here she is on you tube as I planned to post her on craigslist to encourage people to come to see her at the Petsmart and to...

I posted this story on the Crossing the Bridge section, but I wanted to share it with anyone in this forum who may have doubts about whether or not to trap a feral cat who needs help. A lot of people seem to worry about tough love and the emotional harm to the cat. For those of you who are in...

Please pray and send all your love and wishes that the angels have carried little Buster to the bridge and are petting and loving him, and that they have wrapped him in sunshine and given him his beautiful shiny coat again and taken away all his pain. He deserves more warm places to sleep and...

I have 5 indoor (and 2 feral outdoor) kitties and I have been active in cat rescue, fostering, transport, etc. since around 2000. The 3rd kitty in my indoor "pecking order", Lulu, is the only declawed girl. Her original adopters did a front declaw and then returned her after a little over a...
