    Having some doubts about feral/stray girl. Should I return her?

    I've posted about it before, but I've had this feral girl, Aria, for about two weeks. I'm not the best at judging cat ages, but I think Aria is about one year old. I currently have Aria in a small/medium dog crate with litter and water. I feed her wet food twice a day and give her a little bit...

    Caught a feral or semi-feral cat outdoors - what to do with her?

    I go by a feral colony maybe a few times a month. They have a regular caretaker who's done some TNR, but there's still a couple girls who haven't been fixed. While out to get a different cat two days ago, one of those girls walked into my cat carrier and I put a hand behind her and closed the...

    Does anyone foster in an apartment or house with pet fees? How do you handle it?

    I'll be forstering a cat for several months starting this week. He's a grey tabby boy. I'm pretty sure that he's fixed at 2 years of age. The family is in a dire situation and doesn't want to abandon him, but can't care for him for a while. This would be my first foster, and I live in an...

    Cat growls when picked up, scratches/bites hands unprovoked

    I'm babysitting a family member's cat for the next two weeks. She's met my cat Dali several times and the two are familiar with one another, but I plan to keep them separated for the most part.  The relative's cat, Rosa, is about 1 year old. She was adopted at a couple weeks/months old, from a...

    Caring for a Group of Strays/Ferals - Advice?

    So there's a group of cats living behind a strip mall where I live. I heard about these cats through someone who was feeding them and searching for a no-kill shelter while they were staying in the area. I don't know how many are there yet. So far, I've found 5:  - Two kittens, maybe 5 or weeks...

    Small amount of blood in the litterbox

    My girl Dali seems to be passing a couple drops of blood in her stool. I think this has happened about 3 times in the past 2 weeks. I noticed something weird when I saw a bit of blood on the floor, but at the time it was dry and I mistook it for a bit of food. I confirmed what it was recently...

    Hoping that new cat can get along with other one

    I brought my new kitty home a little over a week ago, and we have one other cat in the house. We'd really like for them to be able to play nicely with one another, but my roommates cat mostly just chases mine(intending to play, not to scare her), and she just doesn't like it. They manage to play...

    Friend considering declawing their cat. Really don't want them to do it

    Note that I go into a little detail about declawing if anyone doesn't want to read about it. A friend of mine has a cute kitty, pretty healthy, and they are talking about having him declawed. He plays a little rough and does some minor couch scratching, but its all manageable. Some other cats...

    Recently Adopted a New Baby

    I adopted a cat last Saturday from a lovely kitty shelter in the area that my roommate adopted from several months ago. I call her Dali(short version of the name she had at the shelter), and she's a sweet, solid black 2 year old with big green eyes who loves to perch on your shoulder and purr...

    I've fallen in love!

    Friday a coworker of mine found this adorable little kitten  and brought him in for a little while before taking him to the shelter. I was within a hair's breadth of taking this sweet little baby home with me. Tiny, playful but not too rough(yet) and incredibly sweet.  I want to take him home...

    Fluffy, (ca. 1997 - 2/17/2014)

    I remember the first day I saw her very clearly. She was tiny, and scared, all alone in a big cage. I told my dad I wanted to see her, and when I picket her up she held on so tight I still have little scars. I couldn't really get her to let go of me, so we took her home. Upon sitting her down...

    Very sick, elderly cat. Making the drive to see her. Is it time?

    My cat, Fluffy's health has been slowly decreasing over the last few months, but lately she's gotten worse pretty fast. She lives with my parents while I am away at school, and recently she's lost a lot of weight and has been getting very weak. I was going to try to wait until next weekend when...
