Crybaby is one of my ferrals (white and black one in picture below) and her ears are pink with practically no hair on them. I think perhaps this winter she had frostbite and how I notice that they are peeling. Is there anything I can do for her poor little ears, especially now that she is out...

Im curious as to what kind of shelter if any do those of you who care for ferrals provide? Have you made or purchased anything to keep them out of the weather, the rain or in winter the cold? Mine just basically go under the trailer next door, or sometimes we can here them walking in what I...

We have several tom cats on the property and I have a question. I notice that when a female is in heat the male mounts her and bites her neck. Well, we have two particular toms here that seem to be getting into scraps lately, but I notice it always the one tom laying on the ground in...

Hi guys! Hey, I promise. After I get these animals all spayed and neutered I will be quiet for awhile ! Okay, so could someone please tell me what to do after I get these females back from the vet? Is it okay to let them go, or do I need to keep them in the carrier for a day or two? If I...

Hi everyone, I had asked this question at the bottom of my last post in regard to my granny cat, but as it might get over looked there, Im posting it again. The ones that respond to my posts on a regular basis know the situation at my house in regard to my husbands opposition to cats being in...

Hello Everyone, Im almost afraid to get my hopes up, but I called and left a Message at Animal Protection in Memphis (thanks to YaYas Mom). When I pressed the button in regard to spaying, the recording said they are a non profit organization that (considering your income) will spay domestics...

Hello everyone, We the old granny cat from my pack of twelve had her kittens this evening. I told my husband that it seemed strange to me today that she tried to beat me in the house one time. This mamma never really hanged around me, unless it was meal time. But its like she KNEW that today...
