Hi Cathy, It sounds as though you are considering what we call "sanctuary care." And I agree with the vet you consulted, it sounds like a reasonable idea....
Hi All, ... Oh, is that to help with the bathing? Cathy, I am not sure you should need to bathe cats very often. If you're having to bathe, then in most...
Hi All, The home page description for this group mentions that a Dalton . . . organization supports feral cat rescuers. Is there anyone still on the list who...
Thanks to those who answered my post about converting my garage to a kitty play room. You all gave me some good pointers, and hope to respond personally to...
I have to disagree on that. If cats were not declawed they would have a lot less homes to be in. Well, worth the sacrifice. We do lots of elective surgeries...
Hi Leslie, and All, ... It's debatable whether cats FIND more homes where they must submit to surgical amputation of all their claws, or LOSE more homes due to...
Cat’s Bedtime Prayer ~ Now I lay me down to sleep, The king sized bed is soft and deep. I sleep right in the center groove, My human being can hardly move. ...
I took over the care and feeding of a stray that my brother found. However (and before I knew any better) I had her spayed (good choice) and declawed (bad...
Hi, I just discovered the group and have been pouring over the posts about integrating two cats (we're currently having major problems in this area). I hope to...
Maybe you've tried this, but if your cat eats dry food, you could put some out for her before you go to bed so that she can munch on it when she gets hungry....
Hi -- We had a similar problem with our cat. He would jump on our heads, walk around on us, etc. at about 4 a.m. We put up with this for about 2 nights and...
Thanks, Suzy. Dry food isn't an option, since she's overweight and will eat anything in sight. But I really like this idea of a timer-set bowl. I have not ...
This is definitely a reasonable solution. It's a bit more tricky here, though, because our bedroom is a second-story, open floor plan. There is no doorway or...
Kat, Here's some I found on Drs. Foster and Smith. The Cat Mate Auto Feeder looks like it would do the trick, but there are other you can look at on the page. ...
I've owned cats all my life, and for the first time I only have one. The others were taken by my children as they moved out on their own. The cat I have left...
Hi, My name is Michele, although I usually go by Shell. I have two cats, one DSH named Hobbes, and one bengal named Jasmine. We adopted Hobbes from a shelter...
I work at a vet hospital and am taking care of this male cat, Jack, who has been returned 2 or 3 times now after being adopted because of a behavioral issue....
To help fund my dream of starting a cat sanctuary, I'm putting together a book similiar to "Chicken Soup For The Soul". It will consist of short stories of how...
I am new to the group and cat ownership. I found a feral cat sat. about 4-5mos old. She is a tortie, very dark one I mean the colors. Her first vet visit is...
Hello ~ ~ I have a 9 month old neutered male orange kitty whom I adopted from my local shelter when he was 3 months. At the time I adopted him, I had two other...
Hi Debbie! You told us that the "problem" kitty was neutered, but you did not say whether the other two males are intact or not? It's important, because cats...
Yes, Linda, the other two are neutered as well. They were neutered before I brought orantekitty home. His initial behaviors were stunning. He blended right...
I had another thought last evening. It occurred to me, that since this kitten was picked up as a stray but was in obviously good shape, perhaps the kitten was...
If it were me and she were my cat, especially since she is just a kitten, I would keep her indoors. Maybe that is what she is telling you is she likes it...
Hi Deb, and All, ... I was about to say that :-). I think cats and other pets can be more "needy" if they've first experienced human kindness, but then lost ...
Hi, I'm new here and desperate. We've had Alley (calico for 14 yrs) and Boo (gray for 5 yrs), both females. They get along fine. Boo is definitely different,...
Whoops, forgot to add: Alley & Boo are females & spayed when they were 6 months old; Ernie was 1 1/2 when neutered and I got him from Shelter. Alley is the...
