Hi. My 5 month old foster kitten has (or had) herpes and nystagmus. Her remaining eye is cloudy but stable for now. Little vision if any. She gets around OK. Wondering if anyone has had success treating this unfortunate condition? She's on terramycin, had antibiotics and idoxuridine. Not much...

Hi My foster kitten, Clover, had to have an eye removed. The vet said it was beyond saving. She's recovering well from surgery, however, a couple of nights ago she puked up a roundworm! She's still been bringing up clear liquid, usually after I try giving her water with syringe. I tried...

Hi Well, what was meant to be a routine trapping of a grey/white cat ended up with this little guy appearing in my trap! I've been waiting to get him fixed at a spay/neuter clinic, and I have an organization who might be able to foster or home him but I actually think he might be very sick...

Hi So, long story short, end of last year I trapped a 4-month old feral kitty. Already had trapped her brother who looked about 10-12-weeks. I did not realize her age at first and needed to fix both siblings before release so took to ASPCA clinic for the vaccines, fix, etc. Well, turns out...

Hi all I finally trapped what should be the last female in my colony. She had 4, now 3, kittens. One passed age 1week, much to my absolute heartbreak. They are now almost 2 weeks old. She was kinda friendly when outside and being fed. However, now I have her crated I am struggling with her...

Hi I have been taming 2 kittens that I trapped outside of my home in NYC.  They were 16-weeks when I caught them in early November.  One of them (grey boy) has responded better to the process but the other is skittish and cannot easily be held.  I am struggling with getting them used to being...

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has advice for big boy Phineus here.  I trapped him right outside my house when he showed up in and was rejected by my little feral colony.  His eyes are severely infected.  He is a feral, or so I think. I'm not 100% on that yet given his fragile state but hopefully...

Hi My boy Mithra, now 3 years old, has been diagnosed with asthma.  He got down to 2.5mgs every 3 days.  Took him to the vet today as he's had a few asthma attacks in the last month.  He's been bumped back to 2.5mgs every day so we're starting from scratch.  I have researched tips on helping...

Hi all I still have 2 of my 5 foster kittens, one big black fella, one tortie girl  (always the last!).  Well an adopter for 2 of their sisters got them tested and they came back as positive for Roundworm. Presumably all the other kittens have it as well as must be from the mother cat (a...

Hi Took my cat Meeko to the vet today because of thread title.  His mouth is often opening a little since this dribbling business, tongue sometimes peeking out a little, and the mouth and "cheeks" seem a little bigger than usual?  He licks his lips and clacks his jaw a bit when fidgety. Drool...

Hi  My now-friendly colony cat has had 5 kittens and they are all being cared indoors to be fostered until I can find homes for momma and the babies.  They are 5 weeks old today actually. Problem is, now that the kittens have started eating they seem to enjoy shoving their entire snout in the...

Hi Just now (22nd) we noticed my male tabby Meiko has some strange pustule on his chin that make it look a little more pink than usual. It's almost like acne but I'm worried he might have caught something?  He's an indoor only cat, and is just over a year old. Here is a photo - sorry it's not...

I guess DSH and DLH but wonder if they resemble any particular breeds.  Meiko (tabby) has crazy long legs and quite literally gallops when he runs.   Mithra (grey) is a semi-feral boy who has started growing longer white fur behind his ears and under his belly. He has tufts between his toes.

Hi As of last Friday (9th) I've taken in a semi-feral cat who is heavily pregnant.  Most of the feral-born kittens born here do not even make it past the first few weeks due to illness or predators, last year one died in my arms, another is my little monster Mithra.  Lucky, as I've name her...

Hi. Wondering if anyone might have any experience with this. I will be taking him to the vet and I know nobody can diagnose him, but wanted to discuss to get some ideas. This is about my almost 1 year old white/grey spotted tabby boy, Meiko. He has coined the nickname "horse" with my family in...

Hi kitty lovers! Like so many others I'm in search of the perfect canned food. So my real question is: Does it even exist? Mine do love love love dry food. Not sure why - they get it sparingly. I hate giving it at all but if they won't touch their wet food then I'm out of luck. Solid Gold...

Hi.  I live in New York and we have a small cat colony around here so I know this is to be expected. My husband's family and I have been feeding a heavily pregnant stray cat. She gets quite close and is very calm, so I think at one point she was at least owned by someone, but she's somewhat...

Hi all - sorry for the long post but I'm desperate for some insight or advice I have taken on a feral kitten who was (according to vets) 8 weeks when we first found him living in the abandoned garden next door. He's become very friendly since the first few days of cutely hissing in the corner...

Hi I am taking the cat to the vet tomorrow but just wondered if I might be able to get any advice here. We found this kitty late evening so our vet was closed (they're barely helpful even when they're open, tbh) Sorry for being graphic but the stray is about 3 weeks old, VERY small, fits in my...
