    What to do with injured stray cat?

    Hi, There is a very sweet stray cat that me and others in my neighborhood feed. I just noticed he/she has a very bad injury to her leg and can hardly walk. The leg looks like it's just dangling off, the poor thing looks like he/she is in an incredible amount of pain, and is skin and bones. I...

    Dealing with non-cat people?

    I love the response, "What a coincidence, I hate ignorant people!" and I will definitely use that one when appropriate! You know, I never really realized it before but you're all right, I find more men tend to dislike cats than women. My hubby is an ex-cat hater. He of course hid it from me...

    Rescued Cat, Found Owner, Having Doubts!

    So I received another email from the woman who contacted me on behalf of Beanie/Gato's owner yesterday. She was following up because I hadn't contacted the owner yet. She finally gave me a little more info about the owner and the circumstances, apparently he had gotten out without his collar...

    Dealing with non-cat people?

    I just have to vent a little, because I am so fed up!!!! I am SURE this has to have been discussed before but I am so Without fail, everytime the discussion of pets comes up in a conversation and I talk about my furbabies, there will always be that person who thinks it is perfectly acceptable...

    Rescued Cat, Found Owner, Having Doubts!

    You are right, I have decided to go to the bakery in person to speak to the owner and get a feel for him. I'm crossing my fingers that I am completely overreacting and the owner truly misses and loves Beanie. Nothing would make me happier than to be able to reunite Beanie with his family as...

    Rescued Cat, Found Owner, Having Doubts!

    Wow, aside from a few minor details (bodega, bakery) it's the same exact thing that happened to us! I will call the supposed owner, it's only fair to give him the chance to explain, but like Skimble's friend, I will lie and say the cat ran away if I get a bad vibe or get the feeling he's just a...

    My older cat is picking on my younger one. How can I help them get along?

    I am interested in seeing how this will all unfold too....I kind of have the same thing going on at home too except the reverse. My younger neutered male (Milo) picks on my older spayed female (Pebbles). I've had Milo now since March, and although things have improved slightly, we are by no...

    Rescued Cat, Found Owner, Having Doubts!

    Thank you all so much! You are all basically backing up my gut instinct that this cat deserves a better home. I hate to be the one to pass judgment, but I can't hand-deliver this cat back to a life that I feel in my heart is not in his best interest. Like all of you, if either of my...

    Rescued Cat, Found Owner, Having Doubts!

    That's my feeling exactly!!! The only problem is that I can't keep him myself. I rent a small apartment which feels crowded already with my two resident furbabies. I was hoping I could find him a good home here on TCS as I know all of you on here are true cat lovers and would take as good of...

    has anyone heard of the north shore animal league?

    Have you tried Bide-A-Wee? They have a few locations, they are a no-kill shelter, have a few different locations in NY. They are the ones that took in the Corgi I rescued, I went to the Wantagh location. They were terrific, and even updated me when Charlie the Corgi got adopted...

    Hi All! I hope you can give me some good avice that will help make my decision easier....here's the short version: On 1/31, hubby and I found a cat on a busy street in freezing cold weather. Kitty was shivering cold and followed us back and into our car! We took him home. I posted an ad for...

    Please Help with Rescue Kitty

    Thank you all for your great tips, I have the Feliway Diffusers from when I introduced my two resident cats to each other, it actually seemed to make them MORE aggressive towards each other....go figure. But I will definitely try the vanilla extract! Crazy enough, someone just emailed me in...

    Please Help with Rescue Kitty

    Last week, my hubby and I decided to go out to a nice dinner. We park the car and are about to cross the street to the restaurant when we spot a little tabby shivering (it was in the single digits here in NY that night) and huddled under the awning of an empty storefront. My hubby bends down to...

    has anyone heard of the north shore animal league?

    I live about 15 min away from NSAL, and I adopted my first kitty from them, Meowser, who was the love of my life. Almost everyone I know who has adopted a dog or cat has gotten them from North Shore, they are truly wonderful. The volunteers are knowledgeable and have such love for the animals...

    Can Your Cats Do Tricks?

    My mom taught my little guy, Milo, to give her a kiss on the nose whenever she says "Po-Po" (Korean for 'kiss'). It's the cutest thing, especially since before Milo, she wanted to have NOTHING to do with animals...funny how they just make their way into our And Pebbles, my older one, sits on...

    Will Pebbles come around?

    thank you all for the encouragement! I know it may take even months, and I really hope mine will be a success story too!! I was just getting a bit discouraged and I feel bad for Milo stuck in the little room by himself. Today Pebbles swatted me in the face...she sure is mad at me! I'm just...
