I love before and after pictures. That way I can see how it was before I got it...This is Pudin. No I didn't name her that, my girlfriend did. lol.

She came to our house in July, 06. She was hiding in some lillies, thinking about catching one of the chickens. That was...

It's Kitten Season

The first kitten of 2008 has arrived at my house, along with his mama. Check out the tip of his tail!

I got a call last night from a fellow volunteer who was working on this situation... a kid found a dead kitten in the yard, told his mom, they found the mom cat moving another kitten around and took it from her to give to a neighbor to try to feed (assuming that the mom had...

Newest arrival

feeds@yuku.com (firemanslady) — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:02:44 GMT

These are pictures of our latest feral that we trapped to TNR. Unfortunately, he seems to be partially or almost blind due to protruding third eyelids and ever so crossed eyes. He also has a wound on his leg that needs to be checked. He has an appointment tomorrow for ELISA testing, neutering, overall check up, shots, etc. If he test negative on the ELISA we might have a Siamese rescue willing to take him once we calm/tame him. Not sure if he's truly feral or just scared to death since...

Am I doing the right thing?

Hi everyone. I am new to your forum and looking for advice. Here is a little background info. We moved to our current home 2 yrs ago. We were adopted by 2 outside female cats who were spayed when young by another neighbor. We feed and shelter these 2 cats in our outside, heated garage. These cats are extremely friendly and used to people. We love them. During the first winter at our new home, a 3 month grey tabby male kitten showed up. We took him to the vet and had him neutered and...

Rescued Kitten given a new home!

feeds@yuku.com (lioness4doxies) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:08:44 GMT

We live across from our county fairgrounds, and unfortunately, people drop animals there regularly. Last fall a mother with 3 kittens was dropped off. We managed to capture two of the kittens and found a home for one of them. We found a kitten rescue nearby to take the second one. I recieved word tonight that she has found an excellent home with 3 big dogs and two other cats that she takes turns terrorizing! They named her after the lake near our home, an indian name that fits her perfectly....

Stray cat at door...(Vet visit update)

feeds@yuku.com (sun569) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:31:59 GMT

We had a male kitty, still in tact, meowing to the maximum, at our door. I let him in the garage, and gave him food, water, and litter box, and he is NOT quieting down. Any suggestions? I CAN'T take on another animal right now. I just can't. I hate to let it go w/o getting it fixed, but don't feel like having it spray up my garage. I also gave it a box with a blanket for the night.
He seems to be young, but I am no expert at this, and he is rail thin. He...

When I arrived at mobile adoption today, someone came up with a carrier containing a cat she'd found in her yard and fed Friday evening and this morning. She wanted us to look at him because he was skinny and she thought his legs were injured. When I looked at him, I could see that the "leg injury" was just emaciated hip bones sticking out. He was a very nice, laidback cat. Besides the...

Nathan Winograd's No-Kill Solution - Brevard County, Florida

feeds@yuku.com (firemanslady) — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 10:37:37 GMT

I've been quite involved lately with several groups that are doing their best to approach the Board of County Commissioners here to adopt Nathan Winograd's No-Kill Solution. We are in the process of drawing up petitions, educating the public, getting as much support as possible and trying to re-vamp the antiquated system we have here in Brevard County, Florida. This is something we really need here, so wish us luck and any advice is more than welcome!
We have an online petition...

Etiquette question -- do new adopters come to your house?

feeds@yuku.com (gothgimpbadcooking) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:48:11 GMT

OK, I feel like I'm in a slightly delicate situation and would appreciate some help.

I've been corresponding for about a week with the current foster momma, also the head of the rescue group, taking care of the cat I'm planning to adopt. In my last email I asked for her address so I could Mapquest it and she responded that she'd would meet me somewhere along the way to do the paperwork and that she'd give me a cardboard carrier so we didn't have to switch...
