I am sure this kitten was surrendered due to counseling by the Vet. I do cat/kitten rescue and offered to take him until we found him a home. A dear friend of mine has FELV positive cats and she offered as well. We were both told no as he must either go to an FIV positive home or a single pet...

A kitten was adopted from our local shelter however found to be FIV positive. Our local Vet sent the lab work off and verified that this is a genetic transmission so the kitten will not out grow it. The people who owned him had adopted he and another kitten. They took both in to be...

You did your research on FIP and it definately is a horrible horrible disease. I do cat rescue and also take kitties from our local shelter that are very sick with upper respiratory etc.. to my vet and eventually to my house in foster care with the hope of finding a new family. I am in Great...

I would suggest contacting your Vet as soon as possible as it appears either ear mites or ringworm. If either they can get the medication to treat them. If both go untreated it will continue to get worse and be miserable for your kitty. Good Luck and let us know! Les

I have talked to the administratative director however they are currently under 60 day period with the City to get it together or the contract with the City for animal enforcement will not be renewed. I wrote a letter to the City stating my many concerns and I am hopefuly they will take some of...

I have been an active volunteer for the last 5 years at our local animal shelter. Our shelter has an open cat room where the cats have a collar (those also in cages in a seperate area)that are made out of a type of paper/fiber material. The collars have the animals names written on them as well...

As long both have been tested and are negative your kitty is at no risk. The only problem is if you let them outside and then of course it's a risk for any cat allowed to roam. Congratulations on your new friends! Les

Cathy: Do you know if the kidney stones were down in the tubes vs in the kidneys? Les

I rescued a Scottish Fold from under a house 1 day before Columbus Day. I took him into my Vet the very next day and they felt "Scottie alias Gus"had a kidney infection. We started Clavimox while I searched for the owner. After 10 days, I was back at my Vet's office rechecking the lab work. My...

I have mentioned on numerous postings about my cat rescue. Often I am at our local animal shelter and have only those cats/kittens very sick transfered to my Vet for medical help. Once well (usually 3-4 weeks) they come to my house (foster) and we look for that special family for each cat...

I have not been able to figure this out. Nothing has changed in the house, the number of "foster" animals is almost alway's the same. They are not allowed outside so we are stumped! He was 1 of three (called the 3 amigo's) dumped at our animal shelter when they were about 4 weeks old. They...

I reside in Great Falls, Montana and do cat rescue. This year we have had a larger number of FIP kittens than normal. You are correct regarding the corona virus. Most kittens are exposed but some can not sluff off the virus and it mutates into FIP. Unfortunately, their is nothing that can be...

One of my cats, approximately 1 1/2 years old, one day was coughing as though he had a hair ball. Next thing I knew I could liberally see him breathing from the back. I contacted our Vet and she thought it could be upper respiratory condition. Since I do cat rescue, I am very familiar with an...

A friend of mine has a 13 year old cat with arthritis in his front legs. He appears limping and uncomfortable. Our Vet stated nothing can be done to help with the chronic discomfort he is experiencing. Has anyone had any luck with a natural supplement or a medication that can help alleviate some...

I do alot of cat rescue and a great type of treatment for ear mites etc.. is a product called Revolution. In fact, at the present time I have just treated all of mine. It's a product put right above the shoulder blades of the kitties and does it ever work! You might as your vet. Very easy and...

I do cat rescue in the state of Montana. This has been a horrible year for FIP in our area. I have been hit with it 3 times and unfortunately there is no good outcome with FIP. My Vet has explained to me how the corona virus works. Most kittens are exposed to the corona's virus. Most will...

I do cat rescue in Montana. I can completely understand where you are coming from in reference to your household growing. I have placed animals many different ways however, I have found a couple of ways that seem to work. Many of my 4 legged "Kids" came from our local "kill" shelter as they...

My 1 year old male cat has just been diagnosed with asthma. Until 3 weeks ago he showed no signs. The night it occurred I contacted my vet due to his retractive breathing. (heavy breathing you can see from the back of your pet)We were seen by the vet and by the time we arrived he was open...

Hang In there! I do cat rescue and all of mine go first to my Vet before coming home. Well....needless to say I had a new one being treated for ringworm and two new ones for upper respiratory. After 30 days..both upper respiratory kittens could go home. I adopted one to another home from the...

Has anyone heard of 4-5 week old kittens eating litter? A foster mom is having a problem with 3 of the 4 kittens wanting to eat the litter rather than use the litter box for what it was intended. Momma has been feeding the kittens and they watch her but we are confused as to why. Any ideas? Les
