    Moving to New Home

    Will someone PLEASE tell me how Edgar could have contracted this disease? Edgar is a Persian, about 10 years old, that I rescued from a high-kill shelter in October, 2004.

    I don't know where else to go but here to share my sad story about Ethan. I rescued Ethan and his brother, Patrick, last summer in a neighborhood where these two boys were roaming about freely since their owners had no use for them. The Animal Control was on their way to take them to the...

    Orphaned Kittens

    There's a local rescue with two-week old orphaned kittens. I have a mother cat who is still nursing her two kittens, although they are at least ten weeks old. Would it be a good idea to see if she might nurse these kittens also? Or is this not a good idea? Thanks for any help!

    A Different Relocation Question

    How would you suggest I relocate two ferals that I have tamed from my office to my home? As of yet I don't have a barn to lock them into and I can't bring them in the house (too many cats already inside!). Can I just bring them home?

    Happy/Sad Story

    I was able to trap two abandoned kittens on Christmas Eve--the temperature was close to 0º. By getting those two kittens out of the cold and into a warm, safe environment with good food and water made it one of the best Christmases I could have hoped for. I also was able to turn the kittens...

    Suggestions for Agressive Male

    I have a 13 year old male, Charlie, who was neutered before he was a year old. He was adopted into a household where I already had 3 female cats. Everyone got along fine. About 5 years later I brought in a much older female cat and everyone got along fine. Then one of the older females died and...

    Happiness and Success!!

    Just my small contribution, but the Humane Society offered free Spay/Neuter voucher for seniors in my area that were good for the last two weeks. I recruited my mom and she got help from several of her friends and we got a total of five vouchers. I was able to rent traps from the Humane Society...

    Looking for assistance

    I'm in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and don't know where to look for help in rescuing a dumped mama cat and her kitten (she may have more). Does anybody know someone to call? The county won't help, of course. I'm alone and don't even have anyone to ask that would help me try and round her up. Thanks!

    Rescued elderly cat

    Hi everyone, Sorry this is so long, but I hope I can get some advice from you! At the beginning of March, I took in a very sick, elderly female cat that someone dumped. I took her to the local vet (that the animal control warden usually takes strays to) and they were sure they couldn't find a...
