Luciano is for adoption! I'm fostering a 5 yrs old male/neutered, DSH b&w kitty..he's a stray that joined the ferals we care for. Luciano needs to be an only cat because even though he's very friendly to people he'll chase cats that run away from him and can't afford to let him bite another...

Luciano is a FIV+ adult (4-6 yrs old) b&w shorthair looking for a home. He was a stray that joined the feral colony we care for and live with them until I practically picked him up (he is that friendly & love cuddles ) and had him go in a trap b/c we're out if carriers at the time. He tested...

Does anybody know if all ferals are scared of dogs? Two colony cats moved out (one is the one in my sig, he's not a feral but a stray..they changed his name to Omar, can't think of him as Omar) to somebody's backyard one block away. The family likes them, feeds them, made a shelter under their...

Need good vibes, prayers, whatever good wishes for a friend that's trying to trap a kitten that lives by a dumpster. She's a experienced trapper but this one is very hard, being that the dumpster is in a restaurant area in a mall she has to get pretty creative with dumpster smell & people plus...

Nanette, one of the fosters, has an elongated palate according to the final diax..asthma was the first so I'm relieved..she's OK but I've never had a kitty with an elongated palate_I know some dog breeds like pugs, bulldogs, etc_but hadn't heard of it in cats tho I suppose it'd apply to all...

I know that it isn't advisable to let a kitten play with a person's hand lest he becomes a biter when adult (or not really a biter but a scrachter big time) but I wonder if somebody noticed a difference in the ways a cat reaches out to touch a person_I mean in a relaxed way, not when they are...

This is Juliette; she's Nanette's (in siggy) sister. I'm fostering J, N and Suzette to adopt out. They were all born at the feral colony we manage and survived (out of a litter of 5) a panleoukopenia outbreak last Aug..it's amazing how far they've come taming wise (and size) in two months..tho...

I'm wondering how many rescuers/owners have kittens or adults that seem 'not right'; what I call "sleepy kitten syndrome', not to be confused with Fading or other. This would be a kitty, rescued from stressful situation either born feral or stray that is s/n, vaccinated, examined thorughly and...

Yesterday Cooter went to the Bridge. Eight years ago one of my neighbors found him in their backyard. He had been abused (vet said his teeth were bashed in either by accident or on purpose) and he had had a beating. These nice neighbors have been taking in strays and once they had a stream of...

Orly is now Nanette. She has been with us since yesterday and has true feral habits (DUH I know but I've never dealt with any rescue like her) She eats but only at night when people is not there. Used the litterbox only at night too at the vet, not here yet (I expected something this morning...

Sometime this week I'll be bringing home little feral Orly (former Orleans). He's the only distemper survivor, I mean he was sick and made it, there's another sibling yet in the field that looks like never got it. It'll be a first for me b/c I've rescued/fostered older kittens (teens) and...

Biloxi and Juju2 crossed the bridge last week; they were four months old. Foo, one of their siblings, ran after them some days later. Godspeed little ones, we'll see you again.

Little feral Biloxi needs tons of positive vibes, prayers, good thoughs, light (I've a friend that burns incense & cinammon..whatever works I say) and all to pull through a 105°+ fever from undetermined infection . And_though most of the colony is vaccinated_so do the others. I'm afraid it...

How many times during her life do catteries breed a female? Or it depends on the individual cat? I need to know because I work with homeless cats and in telling backyard breeders that let their cats get pregnant twice a year all their lives a breeders comparison (as in 'a purebreed has...

Four young cats need transport from Lincoln, Nebraska to Chicago O'Hare airport. This is from a no-kill shelter in Lincoln. If anybody can help please let me know. Thank-you

How's this siggy? too large?

I'm afraid this should be in the Rainbow Bridge forum..I do know that sometimes what we do as caregivers only can go so far but still I have this guilt cloud over me and I guess that I've lots to learn yet. A couple of days ago I got a feral Mom to the vet for spaying because I and others have...

Lincoln, Nebraska diabetic cat is looking for a home. A FOF of mine is surrendering their just adopted from HS kitty because he came down with diabetes and they can't care for him. The kitty is brown tabby and white, male, neutered and declawed.Weighs 18 lbs. They plan to take him back to the...

I really blew it..this morning when I was checking the shelters, I pull open a roof (the roof is its lid) and a nursing cat stared up at me! As I closed it she shoot out of the shelter. The cat is one that joined the colony sometime ago. I knew she had had her litter but had no idea where...

I noticed that several of the ferals we care for seem to have ringworm, I guess it is rgwrm, perfectly round bald patches with a red center. When I saw the first there was no red center so I thought "fur off for some reason/fight/accident" but then others showed same lesions and as of today one...
