I have a baby and need to find good and loving homes for my two dear
cats. They are a mother and son. Both are neutered/spayed and
declawed. Both are indoor short-hair tailless cats. They are
approximately 11 and 12 years old. If anyone in Massachusetts or
southern Vermont/New Hampshire are...

Trying to tame a semi-feral by
Shana Cooke
Hello,
I'm trying to find out information on how to teach a semi-feral cat to
like being picked up (or at least tolerate it).
I adopted a semi-feral from the humane society about seven months ago
(she is now 13 mo old), and in this time she has stopped hiding, and
usually comes up to me at night...

Shutting Down? by
[email protected]
Well, the colony I've been caring for for the last ten-or-so years seems
to be losing its population pretty dramatically. I'm not sure what's up,
although there have been many coyote sightings in nearby communities.
I've only ever found evidence of a coyote attack on the cats once,...

Crosspost--stray outside cat question by
MauiJNP
Hello. I recently had a stray older kitten (definately not full grown, I am
not sure of age though) take up residence in my shed and my yard. I have
never owned a cat, much less an outside one. If it turns that no one is
missing her (flyers are out) then she might be able to stay here...

Kittens with tremors - Long Story by
Rhonda
Sharon told me about this newsgroup, so I thought I'd post our situation.
We took in a stray cat who turned out to be very pregnant. She delivered
5 live babies, and 1 that was not born alive.
I noticed one kitten seemed less coordinated or weaker than the others
at 2 weeks old. From then on, I...

Outdoor Shelter Suggestions? by
Arubalisa
We have a stray in our neighborhood who we are caring for. You cannot
get near him anyway :-( Unfortunately we are unable to take him in at
this time, due to finances and our other 5 kitties, one who was just Dx
with CRF.
It seems "Whitey" is living in a cement drain at the rear of our
property....

Fixing the Feral Problem:What Does, Does Not Work by
Bret Ludwig
Does not work:
TNR. It only slows it down. As the colonies age their members die off
(even without active removal) and new cats come in, being unfixed, and
breed profusely.
Feeding the cats. Boy, that's a no brainer. If no one fed them on
purpose the die off would be much higher.
Education. Cat...

Weeble Update, Week 1.5 by
Magic Mood JeepĀ©
It's been about a week since I posted about Weeble, the abandoned kitten
that I'm hand-raising. He's gone from less than 6.5 ounces to almost 10,
his eyes are over 1/2 open, and his appetite has increased from 6cc per
feeding to between 13-15cc per feeding (and that's every 2-4 hours). He's
grown...

16 day kitten, eyes not open by
Samantha G.
I have rescued an abandoned kitten. I am worried that the eyes are
not open yet at 16 days, even though her ears are up and she is
hearing. Her eyes show no sign of opening. I have had many litters
before and always the eyes are open by a week and a half. Does anyone
know the longest that it...

FIP by
formerly known as 'cat arranger'
We're taking of two feral kitties and haven't thought
about them infecting our other cats. What is FIP and
how is it transmitted? It's obviously not like HIV
which can only be transmitted through body fluids, so
why to they have such similar names? It is confusing.
The kittens are about 8 wks. old....

Suggestions About Rescue Situation...Please by

3 1/2 weeks ago, I contacted a rescue group about adopting a cat (listed on a

Everyone at work knows I am the one who feeds the cats on the grounds.
It's practically a joke. I spend about $300/month on food and supplies
for these animals. I have, with the help of others NOT in my workplace,
