    Uri In Feral Cat

    I came online hoping I could find an answer to my feral's issue and found this post. I know the solution is taking him to the vet but I have no income. Blackie is feral - no touch is welcome. I only see him occassionaly so it is hard to keep up with him. He came up to eat Thursday and I...

    Hurt Semi-feral

    I have feral cat that hangs here at my house. I feed him and he lets me pet him a little but that's about it. He came up yesterday with a very swollen paw (double the size of his other paw) and I was wondering what I could do for him? I don't have the money to take him to the vet. I'm not sure...

    Has anyone had a bad reaction to Cheristin flea meds?

    I used Cheristin for a little over a year on two of my cats. Neither was very fond of it, but they are not fond of putting anything on them anyway. I use DE for my ferals. I didn't have any troubles with Cheristin but after reading everything on here I decided to switch. I've been using...

    Returning To Work/timid Cat

    Thanks for the replies! I'll start leaving her more to get her acclimated. I want to buy her a tree for the living room but just can't afford it right now. I created one out of boxes but she didn't get into it - what cat doesn't like boxes! :) I do have a good set up in the bedroom where...

    Returning To Work/timid Cat

    I will be returning to full time work next week (after not working for six years) and am worried about my cat. She's about 7 years old and was a stray here before I got her to come in. BW and I have been the only two in this house for those 6 years. She is very attached (as am I ) and I am...

    Comment by 'clw01' in article 'How To Brush Your Cat's Teeth'

    No way I could do this to my semi-feral cat. She doesn't like to me touch her (and won't let me touch her) that much and I've had her indoors for over 7 years now. I've tried several treats that claim to care for their teeth.

    Has anyone had a bad reaction to Cheristin flea meds?

    I've used Cheristin for several years on two of my cats - but both are indoor cats. I also feed 8-10 ferals but, I don't have the money to apply to all. To help the ferals use DE on the ground around all feeding sites. I don't put it in their food because then they won't eat their food and...

    Advice for injury

    Primula, I had planned to have him neutered at the same time.  In fact, after reading through other posts a couple of days ago, it was suggested that it would be easier to look at the leg if he was under anesthesia for being neutered.  But first, I have to catch the little guy.  And I only see...

    Advice for injury

    I have a stray/feral that comes up to eat once a day.  Last week I noticed he was holding up his right leg and couldn't put any pressure on it.  I read through the advice and most people said to wait, that there wasn't much a vet could do.  That cats heal pretty quickly.  Today is the first time...

    Changing cat behavior

    I have been out of work for about 6 years caring for family members.  During that time I had a stray decide that I was her new home.  We have been happy together (just me and her)  for about six years now.  My reason for writing is to ask for suggestions.  I am currently looking to go back to...

    Advise for Colony caretaker

    I have a question for those of you who care for feral colonies.  I feed about 8 or so feral cats that come up for food plus 2 that hang out around my house and aren't quite so feral.  I don't see the ferals very often, maybe a glance every now and then.  I place food out three times a day (wet...

    Weird Behavior

    Things are better this morning!  She has been sitting up and alert for about an hour and half.  She ate both last night and this morning and drank water last night.  Her body functions are also starting to work which makes me extremely happy!  She still looks a little rough around the edges but...

    Weird Behavior

    Well, this is a low cost clinic.  There are multiple vets (3) and she has seen all three now.  I did talk to a friend of mine who has cats and knows my cat and she suggested that the not going to the bathroom might be from the antibiotic.  She said each cat reacts differently to the various...

    Weird Behavior

    Took BW back to the vet yesterday.  She no longer has a temp but is still lethargic and still not eating/drinking.  Vet stil couldn't find anything but did give her a B12 shot and something to increase her appetite.  Afterwards she looked and acted a little more like her old self.  She got up...

    Weird Behavior

    Well, second verse same as the first.  My cat is not doing well tonight.  When she got up this morning she was slow but moving around but just suddenly went downhill fast.  She hasn't eaten or drunk anything all day.  I just tried to give her some canned salmon with lots of juice but she didn't...
