    Medicating my delicate flower - need ideas

    Hi everyone! One of my cats (Uszka) has FIC and we finally gave in and stared her on Amitryptiline. However, we only got one dose into her thus far. Pill pockets or crushing and hiding it in her favorite food (tuna) is a no go. Compared to my boy who just swallows everything without chewing...

We went through the...

    Problems with re-trapping - Ideas greatly appreciated!

    Hi everyone, Last August I trapped a stray in my backyard and got her spayed. I finally convinced the fiancé to take her in but I'm having trouble re-trapping her. She won't even go near the trap (understandable after having been trapped in it overnight last summer). Not sure where I could find...

    Hello everyone, I finally convinced my fiance to take in a stray that has been coming around since last July. Her name is Oskar (we thought it's a male), she's about a year old and has been living in our backyard and shed. Last year we took in her kitten, Catsby, when he was about 4 weeks old...

    Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and am hoping to get some advice from those who do TNR. In my neighborhood are several stray/feral cats and after one of them who I have been feeding for a while had a kitten in my shed (The Great Catsby is now 8 weeks old and very happy and healthy), I...
