Hi Everyone! I have a problem and I am praying some of you fine folks can help me out!  Back in October I posted about a stray I had found in my neighborhood that had been abandoned by it's owners (foreclosure).  In any case, I took the stray - Finley - to the vet and had him checked out and...

Hi all! If this isn't in the correct location, sorry! In any case, I have moved Finely, the stray I have taken in, into our garage where I am keeping him locked in at night. The issue we are having now is he seems a bit confused by the litter box. I think he has been a stray for quite some...

Hi All! My hubby and I recently moved to Ohio after living many years overseas. We currently have 4 of our own cats. Here is my dilemma... There is a stray cat who started showing up at my house about a month ago. After asking some questions around the neighborhood, evidently this cat has...

Hi everyone! Yes, it has been a while for me... In any case, a little back story...I had two brothers, Maddie and Riley. Maddie was diagnosed with HCM in the fall of 2006. We had him on treatment (Atenolol) and ultrasounds every 3-4 months. Sadly, he passed away almost one year (Nov 2007)...

Hi All! I have been feeding a stray cat that showed up in our yard about a month ago. Hubby and I started calling it Gizmo (we went for the default sex; when in doubt, it's a boy! ) and in the beginning, we would only see fleeting images of the cat as it scurried from brush to fence to hiding...

Hi All! Sorry for the hiatus...between a new job and the holidays, life has been going by pretty fast! We've had the lovely Miss Poppy home now for a month...after three weeks of keeping her and Riley apart, we did introductions last week. Aside from a hiss or two (mostly on her part! ) they...

Hi everyone, I am sure this is a dumb question, but I seem to be full of them lately. I was finally able to carte Miss Poppy and get her to the vet tonight. Well, against what I would have liked, the vet decided that they needed to give her a sedative (injection) as they did not think they...

HI everyone! This is my first time posting in this section. Last week we adopted a 4-5 month old kitten who had been trapped by a rescue group out of a feral/stray colony. They had intended to just spay and re-release her, but she showed that she had had some contact with people in the past...

Hi Everyone As some of you may know, we lost our beloved Maddie one month ago to HCM. Bri and I were heartbroken over our loss...and his brother Riley has been so lonely. So this past weekend we drove out to Brussels to adopt a little girl from a rescue group there. I'd like you to meet...

When I thought it could not get any worse...the vet tonight heard a valve problem with Riley now, too. He said his colour was off on his gums and pads which would show that there is a lack of oxygen rich blood. I don't even know what to do, I am so distraught. He told me to set up an appt...

We lost our little man Maddie last night to respiratory failure brought on from his battle with HCM. We miss him terribly. You are in peace, my little one. Never again will you feel pain. In your 3 short years, you brought so much light and joy into our lives. We'll never forget you, and...

Hi All! Out of the depths I appear again We have a bunch of changes coming up (including a move to Germany) but after that, I plan to stick around! Well, I was hoping to get a pep-talk from any others out there that have had furbabies diagnosed with HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) Maddie...

Hi guys...it has been a long time since I have been around, but I really need some good vibes right now. One of my ginger twins, Maddie, is not well and I am sick with worry. Aside from being diagonsed with HCM this last month, he has also been experiencing "fits" the last month and a half...

Hi all! I am sure most of you don't remember/know me, as I have been MIA for a long while...but I thought I would say "hi" and put some pics of the boys up They are going to be 2 next month...all grown up! Amad and Riley

Hi everyone! Not too sure if anyone remembers me and the boys (it has been a long time!) But are computer is back up and running and I wanted to share with you what grown men my Amad and Riley have become. As you can see, they love their cat tree where they can see the hedgehog that likes...

Amad is obsessed with bags lately. I was typing away in the office, only to look to my right and see him in a plastic bag I forgot to stash away (I know bad mommy - very dangerous, but they are never allowed in the office alone) (Can you see Riley in the corner..."I am a good boy, Mom!")...

Just thought I would post some new pics of the boys...this is them getting up from a nap...Riley looks a bit grumpy, wouldn't you say? Riley Amad

Oh boy am I excited! I was able to get in touch with the foster mom who took care of my boys and their Mum (and their 4 siblings) last week, and she was so sweet and sent me pictures of the boys when they were itty-bitty! When I picked Amad and Riley up I got to meet the family, but I didn't...

Yeah! Amad and Riley are seven months old today! Thought I would share some more of their "big boy" pictures! I hope you enjoy...

Well, it FINALLY happened. After four years of cycling I had my first crash today. Actually, to put it more accurately - I was hit by a car. I am ok...pretty shaken up. Went to the ER and checked out ok...some idiot in a truck hit me on base today as I was heading out for my morning...
