Thanks for all your advice. To answer some of your questions...I have multiple cats so unfortunately it would be near impossible to keep track of everyone's pee schedule to test the ph haha. This is the third time in Chloe's (cat with urinary problem) life that she has had a flare up. The first...

Hi all, I have a cat with a history of sturvite crystals. Last night she had blood in her urine but the vet said no crystals this time so he put her on Hills cd and told us that she needed to stay strictly on this and that our other cats could eat it too. I have asked a lot of ppl and done my...

I volunteer for a TNR group and at one of our recent meetings someone brought up a collar that velcros together. It's stronger than a breakaway but still safe. You may want to research something like that.

I tried everything to catch one last feral kitten and what finally worked was a packet of wet food that was tuna flavored (I forget the name brand but it was stinky and very moist). Recently I started volunteering for a TNR organization and they have good luck using sardine canned food for cats...

My husband and I have been attempting to get our 4 feral kittens to explore the larger house, instead of just their safe room. At first they were shy and a bit scared but now they run and play with no fear at all. Each time we let them out it becomes increasingly harder to get them back into...

I would try to spend more time in there if you can. I used to spend about 2-3 hours a day, between my husband and I, in the room with our feral kittens. I actually enjoyed it because you can see how much progress they are making and they are funny to watch. I'm not sure how old she is but what...

I think I will try that. I'm not sure what she was on before that. We have kind of a mixed family of cats (my husband's cat, my cats, and some rescued kittens). We all moved into the same home together last year. It's kind of hard to monitor the cat's bathroom behavior in a house with multiple...

Thanks everyone! We went out this weekend and bought about 4 different brands and a bunch of varieties of cat/kitten food (Wellness, Weurva, EVO, and another one I can't remember?). So far they have loved them all! I appreciate everyone's input. Only thing I'm kind of getting mixed messages...

Yes, any suggestions would be great. I would like to buy the bigger cans if possible.  

I've been researching a wet canned food for my multiple cats. I want to find something that I can feed my 5 month old kittens, older cats, and a cat with urinary crystal problems. Felidae seems to accomplish all of their needs. It is for all life stages, comes in a 13 oz. can, and has a special...

I have a feeling if she is only 1 month old that it won't take too long for you to tame her. It does take patience though. It also depends on her personality. I rescued a litter of 4 feral kittens at the age of 3 months old, 1 of them became tame almost instantly, 2 of them allow me to pick them...

Sounds like a plan. Thank you!  

Yes, right now we just leave the dry food out all day and schedule the wet food feedings. The cat with the crystals knows that she needs to eat her special wet food separated from the other cats. I guess we could feed everyone strictly wet food until the kitten gets older or maybe the kitten...

We currently have 4 adult cats that we own and are fostering 4 feral kittens that we are socializing. Out of the 4 adult cats one of them has crystals in her urine. On the advice of the vet to simplify the feeding routine we have all 4 of the adult cats on Purina Urinary Tract dry food and...

I found this website: www.nokillnetwork.org/d/Florida hope it helps!  

Has anyone had success in getting your socialized feral cats (not the ones that are still completely feral) to at least tolerate the company of strangers in your house? I am currently fostering four four-month old feral kittens. They have made so much progress with my husband and I but they...

I think you should keep the 2 ferals!! 4 cats...no big deal haha.  

Thanks for your feedback. I have second guessed myself a lot during this process. I know for sure now that they are happy and they seem to love us as much as we love them. I just was upstairs for an hour with one of them on my lap being super affectionate. It amazes me how much they can accept...

I am new to this as well but I also am caring for older feral kittens right now and have been able to pick them up and pet them. I am no expert but I can give you some tips that worked for me. First of all, I would keep them in a small room until they are more socialized if possible. I doubt...

I am new to this site and would like to start learning more about the ferals that I am caring for. Here's my story so far... My husband and I are cat lovers, we have 4 of our own, so when I found a mother cat and 4 of her kittens near a dumpster at my work I knew I had to save them. I work in a...
