Hi All - Sorry about the long post, but I want to give as much information as possible in the hopes that it will give those of you with background with megacolon in cats a better chance to respond. I have a cat who has become severely obstructed 3 times now. This is a colony cat my husband and...

Hi all, I know this is wordy - just want to give as much information upfront as I can. I have checked out websites on the subject, but would like feed back from those who have experience and know a thing or two. I may have had a feral with FeLV in my laundry room for two weeks and am now...

Hi all, Years ago (2014?) I had cat who was diagnosed with lymphoma. The vet said he had less than a year to live and put him on a high dosage of prednisolone (forgive me, I never spell it correctly). Because of the suggestions from TCS members I was able to better navigate Rikki's health...

Hi all, I have a multi-cat household. All of them rescues. All but one are older and well established. A few months ago I started noticed problem peeing in weird places and started to work to figure out who is causing the problem. I have been systematically taking everyone to the vets to be...

Hi all, I recently started working with a cat rescue. They pulled a young color point from a local animal control shelter. She was on the euthanasia list. She is currently is a large double door metal veterinary-type kennel (as in for a large dog). It is outfitted with two scratching post-perch...

Hi all, A shot in the dark with this one. I took a 2-year old female semi - feral (our neighborhood sadly has a large colony)  to the vet yesterday because I thought she had an abscess on her back side. The vet said she had Atresia Ani.  At that point I didn't know what to do, so I brought her...

Hi All, Have been battling urinary problems with my feralish  5-ish neutered male Nate. I was just told he has urinary crystals. This is the first time I have had a cat with this problem so I don't know much about it. With this visit the vet flushed his bladder; gave him extra fluids; gave him...

Hi all, I have a feral type male cat who I think may be working on a urinary tract blockage. He has been living inside since 2011 and all in all had adjusted better than I expected. He had the basic feral type cat behaviors, no sudden movements, no loud noises, no strangers, no real deviation...

Hi all, Am getting ready to take 'Tang' to be neutered. He and his litter-mates were abandoned by their mom when they were about 4 weeks - longish story. Recently he has developed a pouch. I looked it up before taking him into the vets and learned that for some cats breeds they are normal. My...

Hi all, Sadly I think I know just enough to be dangerous so I am reaching out for feedback. I have never reared orphaned kittens before. I have taken in two semi-feral adults and had more success than I ever expected but am concerned that these little guys are more fragile. I have a neighbor...

Hi all, I apologize for spelling errors in advance and I know this is long. I just wanted to make sure I gave an accurate picture of what is going on. So I have strange one. It started over a year ago when my cat (Rikki) started to lose weight in a major way. He was hungry all of the time...

Hi all, I have a cat who is having problems and because I think we have overlapping problems it is turning out to be difficult to get a handle on. I apologize for this being so long, I know how reading long posts are a pain, but I wanted I properly communicate the history of this thing. It...

Hi all, I apologize, I am newish. I haven't formally introduced myself because I noticed everyone had photographs posted with their introductions. It has taken me a while to figure out how to upload photographs from my I-hone to my computer. Now, as I understand it to imbed a photograph I need...

I am new to this site and I would like to say as I read responses from members,  I am impressed with how knowledgeable and insightful many of your members are. I have a Main Coon-ish rescue who has recently gone into kidney failure and while I understand what this means I guess I am hoping that...
