There is no "official" registry for ESAs. However, there are some organizations that do offer registration "certificates." There is generally a fee for this. Probably, truth known, ALWAYS a fee for this. LOL, there is even one whose NAME is "Official U.S. ESA Registry," or some such. It is...

As far as the conflicting advice...go with the advice from those with the most TNR experience! Vets who never TNR are always looking at the best-case scenario for the cat, not necessarily the best attainable scenario, and when dealing with ferals/community cats, those two things can be worlds...

IF the food is available in appropriate quantities, and the house is at a comfortable temperature for someone walking around in a fur coat, think about a play session before his breakfast. A cat's normal routine is "hunt, catch, kill, eat, groom, sleep." It is the pattern of their days, even...

I remember many, many, MANY years ago, I had had several dates with a young man, and had finally invited him to my home for dinner. He gave me a look when he saw my cat. THEN he got bent out of shape when she rubbed up against his black jeans, and said, "Look, I like you a lot, but it's me or...

Lunch will be taquitos. Dinner, a chicken patty, mashed potatoes, and okra, corn and tomatoes.

Grief is like a deep wound. Eventually, it begins to heal...but never completely. It scabs over, then it scars. You go on with your life, even enjoy it again, but that scar will always ache a bit when the wind is from the North. Not unbearably, but it is there.

A BIG welcome to you, Fei, and those adorable chinchillas!

Waffles for lunch. Dinner will be pork patties, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn.

Like a charm! I think that, from what I read, more cats react well to it than do not, and ALWAYS worth a try!

No, I just started by slow-blinking them. Once they were regularly returning that, I began to extend my hand towards them, being CAREFUL to never come from above, but from their level (and that, with my health issues, was a real commitment!), and VERY SLOOOOOOOOWLY moved nearer and nearer...

Feliway, like so many things, is something that either works with a cat, or does not work at all. But when it works, it usually works MAGIC!

Rest you gentle, Willow, dream you deep. Your pawprints are on someone's heart forever. Here is the thing...Willow knew that she lived, breathed, and had her being wrapped in your love. And I know that she, in the only way she knew how, loved you right back. Her background kept her from...

Crossing my paws for you! Your therapist is more likely to realize that you can have FIVE cats, and only one of them is an effective ESA.

Sometimes the easiest solutions are the hardest to see. For the "food in the water bowl," MOVE THE WATER BOWL a few feet from the food. Works like a charm. She'd have to pick the food up and literally drop it in the bowl.

Lunch will be either a hot dog sandwich, OR scrambled eggs with peppers and onions. Dinner will be the hamburger steak that I just wasn't up to dealing with last night. LOL, I had toast, instead.

Oh, EXCELLENT! He's such a brave boy, with a lot of help and support from you! Yes, I really think that the joys of human hands will come in time! I take care of, as best I am able, three feral tom cats (all neutered now), and the elder two will sometimes allow me to stroke them. Took me...

Rest you gentle, Ruby, dream you deep. Your purrs echo in someone's heart forever. Oh, Sweetie, I AM SO SORRY! I know how hard you fought for Ruby, and how hard she fought to stay with you. You gave her a life beyond her wildest dreams, and I am sure that she returned that favor. We rescue...

Let us know how this goes. I have found that a 504 accomodation for ESAs tend to move fairly quickly, once the doctor's letter is in place. I hope this is true for you, as well!

Thank you for all you are trying to do!

Next time you are seasoning cast iron, make sure the oil has a HIGH smoke point, OR try seasoning at 250 for three hours. That's what Gran told me, lo, these many years ago, and I've never forgotten.
