I just wanted to give an update on this. After a big argument with my roommate, things did start to change. As I have been telling her for weeks, she has taken my advice and has been keeping her cat in the room with her with the door closed at night. The cat does not cry or try to get out and...

Actually we have a friend who would be willing to take her and work with her (someone who has experience with kittens and has met the cat and knows what's going on at that). When I was speaking to her about the cat's problems, she mentioned that she would be willing to try. At this time, though...

To fully understand what is going on, there will need to be a backstory. I apologize in advance if this is long. Early October, my roommate adopted a cat. She didn't consult me first other than the off-handed topics of the fact we'd both like to get our own pets someday now that we are renting...

Thank you, jcat. And thank you, Di & Bob. I was honestly in shock when my parents told me. I really think something happened that they don't want me to know about as I come from a family of animal lovers and we have only euthanized when the pets are distressed and in pain (or, in the case of...

I want to add that today there was similar symptoms. I came home from school to find that his stools were completely normal today- no mess anywhere, normal color & consistency. He even cleaned it up well in the litterbox! Tonight, it's back to being loose again. I hate feeling like he's getting...

I think he was given ponazuril though which apparently does kill the coccidia unlike traditional treatments? He had 2 doses of it and that's it, not a daily dose for a week.

I am feeding him exactly what the shelter was: Royal Canin Baby food (he's 12 weeks old). He did not improve on a bland diet, either. :[

I'm posting this here because I'm really not sure what else to do at this point. My kitten Felix has been having a tough time since he came home from the shelter. I've taken him to the vet twice and he's a.) gotten a parasite preventative, b.) gotten de-worming medication, c.) gotten coccidia...

Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate it- I really have been carefully considering this, and I'm still not sure where I stand. However, I need to let the owner of the kittens know tomorrow if I decide against it so that they can find another home and go down the waiting list. It's a very...

I apologize for the length of this post in defense! I have a serious question to ask everyone with experience in this matter! I adopted my little guy Felix last weekend from a rescue center, and he's been a little bundle of joy. He's a very calm, complacent kitten though of course he does have...

Thank you so much! That is awesome- I really wanted to get a black kitten (always have wanted a black cat). But I found Felix first instead and the bond was just instant. xD When I asked him him if he wanted to go home with me, he kissed my nose. 

Is there any way your friends would hold onto him just until mid-November then? Then you could at least see if he has a chance at the new place? Since you've just moved and don't know many people in the area, that makes it much more difficult to ask people. I don't see how anyone could just...

Out of genuine curiosity, how often does that happen? I really don't know because I've only seen success stories. Maybe it is the groups I run in- when people I know have done Facebook, they generally signal boost to their friends who share to their friends in the area. I agree that your gut or...

I just looked it up- he does look similar! I didn't know there was a thing called "chinchilla persian". That's so cute. I actually told my friend he reminded me of a chinchilla the other day because he's skinny but he's so fluffy. ^^ I didn't realize persians came in a non-squashed-face variety...

Ah, that makes sense why the liquid is for 2 days (today & tomorrow)! I've heard good things about this medicine, so that's a relief. I didn't know what the tablet could be, but I found it and you're right, it's a broad-spectrum de-wormer. I hope it won't hurt him because he did get a spot-on...

I know that this thread has been up a month, but I wanted to express my sincerest condolences to you. Losing a pet is hard enough, but losing them unexpectedly, especially so young, can in some ways be even harder- you just don't see it. It comes out of no-where. I can't believe something like...

I've always gotten two kittens at once, so this is definitely new for me! However, my roommate has a cat and after 3 days they were playing like old friends. Sadly, he's a bit sick right now (coccidia) and we have them quarantined with only supervised meetings. D: Thank you, though! I'm sure...

Poor guy. These stories always break my heart. It might be a long-shot, but you could consider social media networks: Tumblr, Facebook, Craigslist (not social media, but...) and ask if someone would be willing to at least foster him for a bit? You might be surprised. I've seen some good come of...

I adopted a kitten from a rescue group last week. I have no idea what type he is, though I imagine he is a mixed breed. I live in Tokyo, and show-cats tend to be highly expensive (ie. 1500-2000 USD here. I've seen upwards of 3000 USD). However, that doesn't mean anything because there is a...
