The Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which organized the raid, is asking for donations to help with the cats' continuing care.
Monetary donations...
Back when I had ferals living in our yard (most have since been relocated to foster homes, farms, 2 to a No Kill Shelter, one was killed by a car , and the other one is now in our home), they loved playing with toys. Their toys ranged anywhere from toys that I bought for them (a mouse toy with...
I'm thinking there's a bit of confusion, so I'll try explaining again.
The cats
Duncan - (now deceased) Sweet, affectionate, loveable, light colored Seal Point Siamese male who loved sitting on laps and snuggling. Died 3 weeks before he turned 19.
Rufus - 2 year old male grey American...
When Runt went to get spayed at the low cost clinc, they found out that she was 6 weeks pregnant and they wound up aborting them. I can't remember off-hand if they gave her a shot or not. But, it's looking very plausible that she was the grey cat that was hit and killed by a car 2 days ago...
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place...
I have/had two sibling cats (Runt, a spayed girl and Little Grey, a neutered boy) who were born outside, but have been living on our property since they were about 5 weeks old. They were born approximately June 5, 2006. Runt is/was very good hunter...
xocats- Thanks... (Sorry I'm getting whiny, I haven't slept or held down food and liquids at all since this started getting bad.)
sharky - Any idea what other sort of treatments can be done, or anything else that could be done/used to help keep up his strength until Monday when vet offices...
He's at home with us now. He's had a 3rd sub-cute treatment. The blood work showed that his BUN was slightly high (42, normal range is 1-36), his CREA was average (1.3mg normal range is 0.8-2.4 The vet said that's because he hasn't eaten in a few days due to the fluids.), his Glucose was...
Since I wrote that he started perking up more, moving his head, yawing, moving limbs, and purring, but was still on the weak side (not able to walk yet or anything, but alot better than he has been.). I don't know what to do. I want my Duncan back more than anything.
When he's awake, he'll look at us, if he's feeling a bit strong try to reach for us with a front paw, if he succeeds, he'll often latch on to the person's shirt, or he'll curl a paw around a person's finger. If I lay my hand/arm against his head, neck, or back, I can feel him softly vibrating...
My cat Duncan (a wee bit over a month shy of being 19), has renal problems. (I say "renal problems" because last it was actually given a name, which was over 2 years ago, the ER vet referred to it as pre-renal disease. His last several bloodtests have shown that his BUN and CREA levels to be...
Well, apparently there was a mistake. There's a super-friendly grey and white male cat who only comes when it's dark out, so we couldn't get a good look at it. Mom assumed it was Runt because we thought there was only 2 grey and white kitties, but I could have sworn Runt was female, and alot...
Tip on how to calm a crying newborn kitten
I know this is probably going to sound kinda dumb, but I've tried this on two kittens I've hand-reared, and it worked on both.
If your kitten/s are crying, and it's not because of hunger or the need to "go", gently pick up the kitten, and hold it...
For awhile my KD cat wasn't eatting his prescription Pate style food. I was able to get him to eat it though once I nuked it on a plate for 10 seconds (makes the scent of the food stronger so it's more appetizing), put some water in the dish, and smashed the pate into it, and stirred it around...
Caught Scruffy today. (She went into the large Tupperware storebin home. Mom held something over the door to keep her in. Turned it around, and let her out of the home into the trap since she wouldn't get anywhere near the thing on her own after it prematurely came down on her back last time...
Really? I wasn't aware of that. When we did that when my 18 1/2 year old cat was little, mom used to put him in a cat harness with a long leash and tie him to a bush, and the only real problem we had with that is him sometimes slipping out of the harness or chewing it off. (At the time we...
Stripey, Girl Kitty, and Boy Kitty went to Maryanne's on Thursday. (I sobbed the whole way there.) Mom decided it would be better to let Girl Kitty be placed with Maryanne instead of keeping her outside here since it would bring over the rawdy, sometimes violent unneutered males that some of...
<<Update>>
Thursday evening - Greyie abandoned the newborn (who I've since named Lucky.), and vanished. So, My mom and I had no choice but to bottlefeed him with Whiskas Cat & Kitten Milk as it was after 9PM, and all pet stores were closed, and he was whining alot, looking pretty weak, and...
I'll try to send my mom after work, or maybe see if my sister could borrow dad's car when he gets home from work, since he's done at 3PM, and mom's not home until at least 5:30PM.
Wow, 3 vet visits in a week. I bet our vet loves us.
No, haven't been able to afford it, but if all goes well...
Well, my mom's the one who went (I don't have a car), and she said that's all that store had. She's asleep now since she has to get up early for work (where as I'm unemployed ATM), so I have no way to go out and see if there's anywhere else that might have something else to give him.
To top if...
Also, I had no choice but to give it Whiskas brand cat milk because there was no pet stores open at this hour. Is that bad? If the mom still isn't back by the time it wants fed again, stores still won't be open, is it okay to give it more of the cat milk? (All I have here is 2% cow milk and...
