She wants to stop her cats getting out, and other cats getting in. I
know full well that there are numerous commercially available...

MUST give away Tonkinese! by
Phil
We have a Tonkinese female, about 6 years old, that we absolutely must get
out of the house. We want her to have a good home, but the Tonkinese rescue
group has not been responsive, despite repeated efforts for their help. The
cat must go. She urinates huge amounts of urine periodically, so she...

Abducted strays? by
[email protected]
Hi. I sometimes lurk here - but now I need to know what other think of this:
I use/watch over an old auto shop of friend who moved away. Its often been a
temporary home of stray cats who come and move on (the location is in-town).
About 6 weeks ago I was there and saw an orange tabby who hissed at...

Non-euthanizing groups by
Marty
A few questions:
How do shelters that don't euthanize keep the pets? Do they cut off
the amount of pets they can take in once they reach a certain point?
Are pet shelters that don't euthanize preffered over ones that do?
Thanks,
Marty

SO Angry! by
Kalyahna
Okay. So I get home from work today, looking forward to having a functioning
kitchen light for the first time in a couple of months. I was a little
confused because it was a ceiling fan, not a replacement of the fluorescent
thing that had been up there. And then I looked around and notice...

Feral kitten and litter box by
Priscilla Ballou
Folks,
I am crossposting this to health+behavior and rescue. I posted an
introduction about the feral kitten I'm suddenly responsible for on the
rescue group, but I now have a specific question that I would welcome
help with from either group. I will repost the introductory post at the
end.

kittens by
Wendy
How does one go about domesticating ferile kittens?
The dh brought home 6 of them. They are approx. 8 - 12 wks. old. and want no
parts of being picked up - hissing, biting and scratching ensues when you
try. They had been living under a friend's porch but were upsetting the
resident 22 yr.old (not...

Another cat saved by declawing. by
He Who Walks
My cat (DQB) had been tearing up my furniture (as well as my patience)
by clawing everything, particularly when I would have to be being out
of town for two or three days at a time.
My friends Ken and Kathy told me about the success they had with
declawing their equally destructive cat so I...

Call it what it is: killed NOT euthanized by
Joe Pitt
I attended a presentation about stopping the killing of cats (and dogs) in
animal control facilities. He emphasised that you euthanize an animal that
is SICK. What is happening in shelters all over is they are KILLING
perfectly fine animals because they are unwanted, often due to the failure
to...

She died this morning at 6.10am (local time, Western Australia, Monday the

Those of you who have followed her story will know how much she is going to
be missed. She fought a hard battle against the inevitable for the past two
weeks, but ultimately it was just her time to go. She...

Stray kitten - feed or ignore? by
Ivanna
Well I must first admit I've already been feeding it all week. It appeared
very bony when I first started, but looks more like a normal kitten now.
My concern is that this may be a female and that she will be bringing me
loads more kittens to feed if she is not fixed. (I am way allergic to...

This is my little rescue from late April. She's now a little over 6 months
old and has just been spayed.
We found her while cleaning the yard. My roommate reached for a clod of
dirt next to a fence post and found it had fur and claws and teeth. Feral
momma had abandoned the runt of the litter...

red tongue by
Wendy
I got 2 kittens to foster yesterday. They are both female. One is black and
white the other all black. I'm guessing they are around 10 - 12 wks. Their
mother was a ferile/stray? who got hit by a car late last week.
The black cat has the brightest red tongue I've ever seen - not dark pink -
red....

No Help Available For Ferals? by
Robyn
Hi,
This is more of a vent than anything else, and this group seems like
the right place for it. Who knows, maybe you guys can offer suggestions.
I've just spent my entire morning trying to get trapping and spay/neuter
information for the 4 feral cats (all one litter) that came along with
