I received two feral kittens yesterday - about 11 or 12 weeks old. I have tamed feral kittens before, and adults as well with great success. I put them into a dog crate, without realizing there was a space large enough for them to escape and now they are huddled behind a TV cabinet, coming out...

A local rescue got 4, 4-week old Siamese kittens dumped by a kitten mill. They are now 9 weeks old, and have rhino and eye infections. They also have ringworm, but because of their condition, traditional treatment for the ringworm cannot be used. I just read this anecdotal account from a...

Two years ago I took in an 8 week old kitten someone had dumped in a field. I tried to adopt her out, but she remained incredibly skittish and terrified of all people except me so I kept her. She was healthy and happy and a loving companion to my other feral cat. She had no sign of the...

This is my dog Chloe. She is a pit bull terrier, 6 years old, who I got from a rescue 4 years ago. She is the sweetest dog in the world, and infinitely patient and tolerant of my never-ending stream of foster cats and kittens. She has had her tail chewed, her ears boxed, she has been ambushed...

So after a lifetime of rescuing strays, and fostering and rehoming an endless stream of dumped kitties (including purebreds - mostly Persians and Siamese from crappy breeders) I have decided that before I die I would like a purebred cat just once! After doing some research, it seems the Birman...

These sweet babies were born in a barn, and their future is dismal unless they get homes. For information please email Cookie

Would anyone here considering flying a cat that has an extreme "peke face" and snorts and wheezes as Simon does? Would this be dangerous? We got a wonderful app on him, from someone who is a vet assistant and already has one flat faced cat. She sounds perfect. Thank you for any advice!

I"m with a cat rescue, and yesterday we got a dumped Persian (we get purebreds quite often) His name is Simon and he is 4. I was shocked at his snorting and wheezing, and I have never seen or dealt with a cat with so little nose! However I did hear soon that this was normal. He is also very...

I posted here about Suki and her baby - beautiful Siamese cat who was left outside to get pregnant and finally trapped and left under a cement deck all day by her OWNER. She was on her way to the SPCA when we managed to get her. She was extremely malnourished and skittish. She and her kitten...

Meet Charley and Abby. They are about 5, and their owners decided it was time for them to move on, so they crammed them into a cardboard box without even air holes, taped it up, dumped it on the vet's front steps and said "So long!" Charlie is probably a Maine Coon and is 26 lbs. Abby is 17...

Imagine my surprise when I saw three little heads poking out from under my shed! Off to get a trap, and caught all 3 kittens AND momma in one afternoon. 4 feral cats in the bedroom. The kittens, among the prettiest I've seen, tamed very nicely and were all adopted at their first adoption day. I...

Just have to post this for anyone who thinks a cat is a hopeless case. The cat we named Comet was spotted outside in January on a minus 40 degree day. A trap was set up, but it took a week to catch him. When we saw him close up, our hearts sank. Not only was he totally feral, but he was very...

I am with a cat rescue, and we just had a purebred red male Persian surrendered to us because the owner refused to pay for surgery to relieve a urinary blockage he had, and wanted the vet to kill him. We assumed his vet care because he is 2 years old and we couldn't see him killed for this...

This is Comet. He was trapped Jan 31st, after the coldest January in history. He is wounded, starved, bloodied and sick, but his spirit is indomitable and he wants to live. He desperately needs a barn home to take refuge in. His options are few. He is in Quebec, near the Ontario border. If you...

The rescue I'm with had an adoption clinic Saturday. We had 5 adult cats (all dumped) and 5 new kittens from another rescue, who are swamped with 25 kittens.. I recently got 7 kittens and two adult fosters adopted out. A woman comes up and tells us she has a litter too, and another on the way...

I am with a local cat rescue and we do some trapping, s/n and release (if conditions warrant.) Last winter, I set a humane trap on my property to catch a female cat who lost her refuge when a nearby stable was torn down. Instead, I ended up catching an adult feral tomcat, who is one of this...
