I'm so sorry he hasn't made it home yet don't give up hope though. My sons cat was gone for 17 days before he showed up again. I assumed that somebody took him in and it just took him a bit to escape and make it home. Hopefully something similar is going on with Sammy. Best wishes and I hope...

Thank you for your reply....both of you! I wasn't expecting to find them a home here but you never know. It never hurts to ask, right? Since you are so close, if you know of anybody that would be interested, I would appreciate a shout out. As for the rescues....when I first took them...

I agree! An outdated chip is just as good as no chip at all. It also doesn't help if they vets don't scan new patients, regardless if they know the people or not. With pet thefts on the rise, if vet clinics don't scan each and every pet when they are seen for the first time then there goes...

I'm in KY so I can't tell you if your shelter has seniors lined up and waiting or not. How about contacting some senior type clubs like an Elks lodge or shuffleboard court to see if you can post a flyer. Something else I tried was to see if there was a local chapter for Veterans. Cats make...

I live in a rural area, too and when it comes to cats, it stinks! Instead of animal control officers, we have Dog Wardens. They are called that because they only take dog calls which irks me to no end. My BIL had called me on his way to work about an injured cat. When I got there it was...

I am so sorry! Have you tried calling the shelters and rescues? If you live in an area like I do, call Animal Control. If, God forbid, he was hurt and somebody was kind enough to call him in then they should know where your kitty is. Best of luck and I hope he comes home safe and sound

I couldn't agree more! I had to leave my cats in FL with my parents until I got back on my feet. Just the other day my mom told me that she gave one of my cats to my sister LAST WEEK. She did it behind my back because she knows that I can't stand my sister and dislike how she cares and treats...

I'm starting to doubt he has a URI. ive done some additional searches based on his symptoms and I'm thinking bronchitis, pneumonia or maybe even asthma or allergies. Regardless, I hope it's easy to treat and won't cost me an arm and a leg. While they were at the clinic to be fixed, they...

YES! This exactly! Dumping is common in our rural area and it ticks me off to no end. There needs to be strict penalties for abandoning or dumping. Don't even get me started on the lack of responsibility for the #*€\~ that don't get their pets fixed! The people that lived across the...

If she is sweet, calm and gentle try placing her with a senior citizen. One cat I rescued (my profile pic) was an older cat (according to one vet). Anyhow, the vet put me in touch with a volunteer from one of the local shelters. She informed me that there was a waiting list of seniors waiting...

I would be worried too if I handed my cat over to somebody and they got tired of clean up. One of my boys poops his fur from time to time and when he does, it can get ugly. Not only would he need a bath but floors need to be cleaned also. I will keep him before handing him over to somebody...

I'm sorry I didn't read your update that you were good to go but since my reply gave you an idea, I'm glad I didn't. 128570 I would still give them a call, maybe they will send you coupons out of the goodness of their hearts consider the big heart you have for taking care of special needs...

I shake the snack box, too. As soon as they hear it, they come running. It works so well that I have to make sure none of them are using the litter box. Yeah, I learned that the hard way. Once was all it took and I'll never do THAT again. LOL. As far as free feeding, I will never NOT free...

Have you tried calling the food or litter companies? Not that long ago, I called one of the litter companies with a question. We started talking about my boys, how I ended up with them and stuff and she sent me coupons and I didn't even ask! Maybe I just got lucky by getting connected to an...

I can understand what you are dealing with. When I first took the boys in, I called FIFTY-SEVEN different numbers (rescues, shelters, etc) to no avail. It's been 4 months and I've only been able to find a home for the little girl. What I wanted to say is that it might help if you can give a...

I'll never understand it but people have a tendency to dump animals in our rural area. And, the sucker that I am, I do everything I can to find them homes. When Momma first showed up, she would only come around late at night. All it took was one feeding and she was hooked. At the time...
