I apologize if this gets long. I just want to make sure I provide all the necessary information. I've been doing a lot of research on FIV+ cats and raw diets and the information is definitely a bit overwhelming and conflicting. I've reached the conclusion though, that a raw diet might be the way...

its been a very long time since I’ve posted here (several years), but I’m back with a question that I’m hoping to get some opinions on. We recently took in a feral mama cat. She gave birth just a few days after we trapped her. (We run a rescue and everyone will be spayed/neutered after the...

Well it's been a very long time since I've had to post a question on this site, but this is a new one for me. My experience with newborn kittens isn't that vast. I once took in a pregnant stray who gave birth to one single baby (our problem with that one was the fact that mama didn't want to...

I'm curious to know if anyone has dealt with this before and if it was related to a spay surgery. First, We have a vet appointment in 2 hours so I know "go to the vet" is the correct answer. I'm just looking for other experiences. I do TNR and trapped a sweet little 6 month old kitten (basing...

First let me stress that I am typically anti-OTC medicines. I know how dangerous OTC flea medicine can be, and other medicines worry me. With that being said, here is my situation. I have a house full of cats. We had a small flea problem, which is now gone, but tapeworms were the result. One...

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I don't usually come into this subforum. I feed a colony of feral cats. One of them is definitely pregnant, and if I had to guess, she's about to give birth any day now. We've been TNRing this whole colony but this Mama Cat is giving us some...

This is a new one for me. Every time I think I've dealt with everything that can go wrong with cats, something new pops up! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on this one for me. About 2 weeks ago, the temperature dropped really low for this area and when my husband went outside to feed...

I'm doing my own research right now, but I figured that I would post here too in case someone has information that I don't find. Does anyone know of any kind of barn cat relocation program in South Texas? (Or within a day's drive of South Texas?) I know that relocating feral cats is not...

About 3 months ago my 11 year old cat went into heart failure and was diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyapothy. Since then, I've become paranoid about her breathing rates and after learning how to monitor her breathing, I find myself constantly watching her and counting her breaths. I have...

Hi everyone. This is something new that I haven't dealt with before and would like opinions. There are several ferals outside that I have been feeding and trapping to get them spayed/neutered. One of the newest ones to show up is a small calico. I'd estimate her to be about 6 months old. She's...

I apologize if this gets long. Its been a while since I've posted on here but I've searched around and can't find many personal experiences so I thought I'd ask here. My cat was diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy last night and I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this before? I'm...

Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced this before, and if anyone could suggest something that I should specifically ask for a test for. Moe's been sick twice over the course of 3 weeks. The first time he was vomiting all day long, was acting very lethargic, and was dehydrated (which we...

Well, on a positive note, its been a really long time since I've posted a question in the health forum. On a negative note, it looks like my 3 year old cat may have pancreatitis. Has anyone dealt with this before? I searched the forums and there don't seem to be a lot of recent threads about...

Well this is a new problem for me. Just when I think I've seen everything with my cats, something else happens that leaves me stumped. Has anyone ever had a cat that gagged occasionally? I don't really know how to describe it. Its not asthmatic coughing. I have a cat with pretty severe asthma...

I'll try to keep this short since I tend to write long, rambling posts. But for those of you who help ferals and strays, while still taking care of your own cats, I'm curious how you do it. The short version of my situation is this - I have 11 of my own cats and one rabbit. They all live inside...

I had been feeding a feral cat outside of a hotel we were staying at for 2 months. We finally trapped him, under the assumption that he wasn't completely feral, only to find out that he WAS completely feral when we got a hold of him. Or at least he acted that way. He spent about a week hissing...

This is a new problem for me, so I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to make it stop. I have a cat who has recently started spraying the walls of my house. He's not peeing, he's spraying. I've had litter box issues before and this isn't a litter box issue. He's using the box just fine...

I posted about a feral/stray that I've been feeding a week or so ago here http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=236234. and I was wondering if there was anyone near Corpus Christi, Texas who would be able to help in some way. I won't repeat everything I wrote in my original thread just...

I apologize if this is long, so thank you for reading! I have a lot of experience with ferals as far as trapping, neutering and returning them. I've also socialized several and have found homes for a few, while other still live with me. I had one pregnant mother that I trapped, and she gave...

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I've been searching for an answer to this question online all day and I'm not finding a lot of information. So I feel weird asking this on a cat forum, but since there are a lot of members here I thought someone might have some experience. Has anyone...
