Another update on Callie's skin problems. It's been three days since I changed her food. She's eating the Tractor supply 4health grain free food and seems very happy with it. The two spots she had reopened before I switched is scabbed over and almost completely gone. So she's not scratching...

Don't you just love people who are overly impressed with their own importance? I know of a few people in the area that are like me, taking care of animals and having a hard time finding assistance with them. I don't know them personally or even their names. I've just talked to them in the pet...

Unfortunately CC, the kittens mother wanted nothing to do with them after she weened them. She gave them to me, she didn't want anything else to do with them. She was getting pretty nasty to all the other cats as well. She attacked my old lady GG and that was when I decided she had to go. Of...

I hate to say this, but I'm not overly impressed with the rescue groups around. I've had dealings with them before and either can't get a response at all or they are weeks late and are no help at all. Last February, I had another stray calico show up and I was trying to figure out a way to get...

This is off topic but I would like to share the story about how I wound up with these outdoor cats. Three years ago, three cats showed up here late in the fall. The mother of my three indoor cats, Noti, CC the mother of the the four shown in the woods picture and a tom. They were all wild but I...

Oh, Bruce, I forgot to reply about the vet. They wouldn't comment without seeing her and as I've said that didn't work out too well. They were willing to see her on an emergency basis, so I wouldn't have to worry about not keeping an appointment though. I have to tell you, my group doesn't seem...

Thanks for the input Bruce. I do ad L-Lysine and fish oil to their food. I'd stopped for awhile, not sure why, but I started back up again when she started showing signs of problems, about a month ago. Since Callie has only been back for a couple of days it hasn't had a chance to help her...

Ha, my girls inside could stand to lose some weight, outside not so much. Although the mother of my insiders is a stubby legged Manx and she is a little on the portly side. She's one of the ones on the front porch and garage, and she rarely wanders very far. I got some of the dry 4health cat...

Hi maggiedemi, Well I'm going to try the Tractor Supply food and see what happens. I feed the Purina Naturals regular food, not the indoor. Although I will feed the indoor to them if the regular is out at the store. I had an old guy that passed away last September at the age of 22 and that was...

I am working on trying to get her to be more relaxed around me. Sometimes she will go on my morning walks through the woods and that is when she is the most relaxed around me. I'm trying to get her to accept me putting my hands around her stomach and hopefully be able to pick her up at some...

Unfortunately, it would be an impossible task for me to keep her inside. I've got three indoor cats already and really no where to keep them separated. As well as my husband grumbles about them and absolutely would not go for another one in the house. I've thought about trying to rehome her but...

Thanks Kieka, I was looking at that after I posted and thought maybe I'd try the moist in the TS brand for awhile and keep the Naturals dry since she eats mostly moist. I've got to go in to town tomorrow and plan to pick some up. I'm also working harder to get her to let me pick her up. Ya know...

I take care of 11 cats, some more tame than others. All but one is less than three years old. About a month and a half ago one of the more wild cats showed up, after a two day absence, with sores on the sides of her face. Over the next week she proceeded to show up with more sores on her body...

Hi guys, Haven't been on here in quite a while. I am currently taking care of thirteen cats. Ten that I've taken care of for the last few years and someone dropped off a female cat just when the weather got really cold here. I'm sure it is a female and not fixed and she has attracted two toms...

I wanted to post an update on C.C. the aggressive cat who was disrupting the whole colony of cats. I have found her a new home. After numerous suggestions of posting an ad on craigslist, against my better judgement I did place an ad, after she once again attacked one of the other cats...

Thank you for your reply Ondine, She has been fixed so she better not be in heat. 13 of the 15 cats have been fixed. The other three haven't because two of them are toms that show up sporadically and I haven't been able to catch them yet and the other one is new and I wasn't sure until recently...

Hi guys, I'm new here and hope someone can give me an idea of how to treat this situation. At this time, I'm feeding 13 to 15 cats. Four in our house, two in our garage, five on our back deck and two toms that show up every two/three days. Another cat, I'm pretty sure she is a female, showed up...
