Ok, so on Wednesday I took home a little kitten from the no-kill dog and cat rescue shelter I work for (to foster temporarily), my coworker had taken one of the dogs to the vet, and came back with a kitten. A woman found him on Tuesday night just randomly somwhere, we think a stray/feral mom...

So yesterday I noticed my cat, Siam's eye had turned from blue to a greenish blue, and she was acting a little funny. I took her to the vet today and it turns out she has a detached retina, which the vet said is caused by high blood pressure, and prescribed some blood pressure medication. My...

No collar, kinda small but I think he's 9-10 weeks old, just malnourished. I haven't been able to get closer than 5ft without him running away. I am going to buy a humane trap after work, unless somebody has an idea of a better way to catch him. He looks like he doesn't feel well. We have food...

Siam is a siamese, in her teens somewhere (not exactly sure where, maybe 13?). She has recently started vomiting up her dry cat food. I took Siam to the vet and had a senior blood panel done, and the vet said it all looked good. She is fed Meow Mix, and Kit N Kaboodle - very low quality foods...

There are these people that live near where my mom works, and their cat had another litter of kittens. I swear this has to be the cat's third litter at least, she seems to have one every spring. This house has a busy street on one side and railroad tracks on the other (usually active with...

I'm getting a nervous twitch looking at their coats. Why get a persian if you can't care for it?? Two craigslist posts by the same person: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...658930333.html http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...658932869.html If I had my own place I would so take these...

Thought I'd post some cute pictures. If you are wondering, Petey still has his claws! We have agreed that when I eventually move out (hopefully within the next year) that Petey will come to my house, because my mom just gets too frustrated with a hyperactive kitten. I iz a handsome boy...

I thought there needed to be some fuzzy cat pics in this forum, since its been pretty heavy in here lately. This is Mikey, FOHA's newest FIV cat. He is every bit as soft and cuddly as he looks. He's a big, fat hairy ball of Purr! I promise he had no catnip prior to this pic (I think)...

These pics of two cats who were part of six recently abandoned on our rescue's property. This is Michka. He's a nice cat, but still getting used to things. This is Pandy. He's a very affectionate and even-tempered cat. He has a weird eye (I call it his creepy eye). It is theorized that he had...

This week we had six cats abandoned in carriers on FOHA's driveway. Thankfully they look to be in good health and the note left with them claims that they are spayed/neutered. But that's six cats that we cannot pull from the kill shelter because their spots are now taken. We have had so many...

Bobby was a cat in a million. His owners left him behind in my friend's neighborhood when they moved. My friend fed Bobby, and a nice lady up the street took care of his shots. Bobby was always outside to greet anyone who came over to my friend's house, and never hurt a fly a day in his life. On...

if we can't teach him not to claw the nice new leather couch!! We just had the upholstery guy fix it today. My mom doesn't really understand why its cruel, even though I've explained it to her before since all our other cats have been declawed and were fine. and I asked her if she wanted to...

So we got a new kitty from the SPCA and we have had him two weeks tomorrow, and he is a really good cat for the most part, no litter box problems and very affectionate and all that. But we are having a little trouble keeping kitty from clawing the television. My parents have one of those big...

My mom and I went to the Fauquier SPCA and picked out a kitty to adopt! He's not coming home until Tuesday because he has to get neutered first. He is about 6 months old, and was an owner surrender because she had too many cats (they were being kept in a shed). We are naming him Petey, after my...

On Wednesday we had to have our grey/white male Ashten put to sleep because he was very sick and couldn't even stand up. He had been sick with hyperthyroidism for a long time. Siam, our siamese, was walking around yesterday just howling. We have been giving her extra attention. Siam and Ashten...

So I submitted a FAFSA form to get some financial aid for college for the fall semester, and I was denied. I talked to the financial aid office at the school and they said it was because I had a GPA lower than a 2.0. Wellll as of the end of the Spring Semester my GPA is over a 2.0. They told me...

Ashten, our hyperthyroid kittie, has decided that he doesn't like cat food anymore. We were feeding him Friskies and 9 Lives (I know, not the best food in the world :/). Ashten decided he didn't like anything else, not even good gourmet stuff. And now Ashten has decided he doesn't like those...

Just because, I am posting some pics of the kitties we have at FOHA, a no-kill rescue for cats and dogs. We have two seperate catteries, one for FIV+ cats and one for FIV- cats. Our kitties are spoiled as much we can, but it would be great if they could could get into forever homes to be spoiled...

Today the vet checked out a bump I found on my cat Ashten(he's older with hyperthyroidism) and it turned out to be a sebaceous cyst. I had a guinea pig with one of those on her head and it burst and crusted over a couple of times before shrinking and staying shrunk for the rest of the time the...

Goldfish crackers! I was sitting on the couch with Siam and eating goldfish crackers, and she started sniffing them and trying to lick them. Siam would not leave me alone! So I finally gave her one and she ate it and proceeded to ask for more. I didn't give Siam any more though, since I'm sure...
