When we were vacationing in Hawaii two months ago found a starving kitten on the beach. The beach was surrounded by jungle so we had the sense she was either feral or had been dumped and barely surviving. Despite her poor condition she was very friendly and calm. After parking her at the local...

We recently visited Maui and found a starving, weak kitten on a beach. Brought her to the Humane Society but ended up bringing her home to Oregon with us. Her estimated age was 4 months and only weighed 2 lbs. We have three other indoor cats at home and one big lab who are all mellow and get...

How long after your cat's first herpes infection did the symptoms return again? Thanks.

Recently went through an awful experience with our big chubby diabetic cat. Brought a young (vaccinated) cat into the home and within a few months she showed symptoms of FVR. She never became terribly ill, but our 13 year old diabetic did. Developed severe respiratory symptoms and immediately...

Tearing my hair out. My big Black had an esophageal feeding tube placed just a week ago. Tolerating his tube feedings well, but he seems now to be having a little difficulty swallowing his wet food in the bowl. He's acting quite interested and heads to the bowl a few times a day. But he mostly...

Bought a humane trap today to hopefully lure my 2 year old semi-tame boy back (he escaped when husband accidentally left the door open). Adopted Blue from a friend as an 8 week old kitty. He has never been outside of my home before and I live in a forested 10 acres with no neighbors. Terrified...

Have had a feral indoor kitty for 2 years since he was 8 weeks old who has never been completely tame. He'll let me pick him up and love him for short periods, not allow husband near at all and has always been skittish. Always knew that if he ever got outside he would take off and not come back...
