We have a cat, "Catzilla", who unfortunately needs to be sedated for every visit to the vet. Since he was seven we have had bloodwork done and this year, he's 10 yrs., they found he had developed hyperthyroidism. Now treating him is going to be another challenge, BUT had we not had him...

After lots of referrals just wanted to let all of you folks know that I found a vet at the North Shore Animal League's Animal Hospital, Lake Success, Long Island, NY who is willing to take on "difficult Mr. Precious" as a patient. In the interim, I did deterime he will take tapazole in his wet...

Plebayo, Everything you have written is right on target. Thanks so much. A little progress was made on Friday, a very large animal shelter on Long Island, NY (North Shore Animal Shelter) called me back with a referral to one of their own veterinarians whom I was told specializes in difficult...

If you love your kitty and want him to have a happy and HEALTHY life, keep him inside, or else build him a secure yard enclosure. It may be tough love at first, but from my own experience it's the only answer.

Good for you for bringing a new kitty into your home. However, you violated the first rule of how to introduce a new cat to an exsisting one: check this out before you do anything else: http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/ou...a_new_cat.html Some cats are extremely territorial and will continue...

optionken, I tend to agree with you, but the problem is that I haven't been able to find a new, regular vet to give us any direction on this. For example, we need answers like, can the cat be treated in a radio therapy facitilty if he can't be handled? If he'll eat the tapazole crushed in with...

Thanks so much for reminding me of calling New York Animal Hospital. They did a stellar job in treating my pet turtles over the years. My oldest is 41 years old. Will definately give them a call too.

Wow, I forgot all about that place! Thanks so much. Isn't it prohibitively expensive for you to take you kitty there for regular vet care? I know they handle the tough stuff. Thanks so much. It's unfortunate that the cat lives on Long Island and I'm not getting any leads to compassionate vets...

Thanks for your kind greeting. I'm getting so stressed over this plus I have four of my own!

Hey, thanks so much to both of you for taking the time to write me. I will look for the Felifriend, but right now my big problem is trying to find a new vet for the cat. I live in NJ, my mom and 'Precious' (some name for such a ferocious boy!) live on Long Island, NY. I have a feeling that...

We obtained a shelter cat six years ago for my 80 year old Mom unknowing at the time of acquisition that he had been abused. The kitty is inactive in nature, BUT becomes fiercely aggressive and will bite (he had been declawed by previous owner) if anyone tries to pet or handle him in any way...
