My previous kitty had FIP and I made the decision to end his suffering when he had to get his second abdominal tap. By that time, his quality of life was already so poor. He was lethargic, weak, barely eating...sweetest kitten I'll ever meet. But when I brought him in to the vet that day, I was...

Hi all, My adopted stray has been throwing up pretty sporadically, and it's almost always accompanied by a hairball. He threw up all over my bed today when I was at work, and once beside me last weekend. The time before that was maybe a month ago, but he does the hacking cough at least once a...

Hi there, First of all, just want to thank you for taking her into your care...she's very lucky to have you, and you saved her life. I adopted a stray adult cat from the shelter three months ago, and he was VERY emaciated at the time. It took a few weeks at least before I stopped seeing his...

Hi all, Firstly, thank you for your patience in reading this. I recently purchased a Persian kitten (he's about 5 months old) and had no trouble acclimating him to my studio in the first two weeks. He would play with toys, cuddled, and had a pretty generous appetite. It has been a month since...
