We have a female kitten who is not quite one year old.  She uses the litter boxes once in a while but prefers to poop or pee where ever she feels the need.  I have tried to move her to a litter box when I see her starting to look for a place or starting to go and she just jumps right out of the...

Fred is a feral cat that we have been taking care of since he was a kitten.  We think he is around 5 years old.  Friday night we noticed that he was drooling a lot and his chest and mouth were very wet.  We weren't sure if he had been throwing up or what.  We brought him in and he is in a large...

Thanks to everyone for their advice.  I did take Puffy to our vet this morning.  She has a bacterial infection.  Doctor gave her IV fluids, long acting antibiotic shot, steroid shot, and potassium pills to take at home.  Also some special wet food.  When I got home with her we gave her some of...

I would like to add some things to my original post.  Puffy is a wild cat that we are able to catch pretty easily whenever we want to.  She stays near here all the time.  We are wondering if she is dizzy.  The backs of her ears do not have very much fur on them.  They appear to be worn down to...

We have a female cat six to seven years old.  Just tonight she is not able to stand up.  She falls over.  She appears to be breathing okay and alert.  Her right eye has evidence of drainage but isn't draining right now. She will meow but doesn't seem to be in pain.  We are able to hold her and...

Thanks, for asking, mickNsnicks2mom.  Snoopy is doing okay.  I was able to get a stool sample and had it tested at our vet yesterday morning.  It tested negative.  So we know worms or a parasite is not the problem.  We have given her some of the Gerber chicken with gravy baby food and she ate...

We have an approximately 3 year old female that we call Snoopy.  She is a feral cat that we were able to catch, spayed and have been taking care of.  We have been feeding Snoopy and some other cats canned cat food.  For the past couple of months Snoopy’s appetite has seemed to be getting less. ...

We have several cats that need to have deworming medicine. Some take it really easily, but most put up quite a fight. We use the Strongid and I am wondering if I can mix it with their wet food and give it to them that way. Will this work? I have also read online about a liquid dewormer that...

Does anyone have experience with Flea & Tick Sprays?  Is there one product that is better than others?  We have decided to try the spray because trying to treat all of our cats with the liquid is going to be very, very expensive.  Thanks, Cook

P3, thank you for your input. 

Catsallaround & Catwoman 707 - You say the Advantage 11.  Do you use the one for 20 lb. dogs or 55 lb. dogs?  How many cats do you think can be done on a 4 pack or 6 pack of Advantage 11? 

Thank you also, Catwoman707.  I am kind of in the same situation because I need to treat many cats.  We have caught, spayed/neutered the feral cats in our neighbor and have been taking care of the sick kittens.  Now I need to treat all of them for fleas and am looking for the most inexpensive...

Thank you for the information.  I will try the Dawn on the kittens tonight.  Have you used the Frontline spray before?

We have several cats that are having a problem with fleas right now.  In the past I have used Frontline Plus for Cats and it does work well.  However, I have been looking online and have noticed that some sites say you can use the Frontline Plus for Large Dogs and reduce the dosage to .5 ml.  As...

Thank you for the information, KittKatt. One of the articles I had read and the second one I hadn't not read yet. They were both helpful. We will take care of our kitten to the best of our ability.

Can anyone tell me anything about FIP? We just had a kitten spayed yesterday at the Aminal Rescue League and we were told she had FIP. The doctor found fluid in her abdomen. We opted to continue with the spaying and bring her home with us. She appears to be fine. She is pretty much back to...
