Hi, folks:
I emailed last week or so about a little stray kitten that we were trying to
catch. We caught the kitten yesterday and he's currently being checked out at
the vet. I am hoping and praying he's healthy.? He is not a feral kitty. He is
about ten weeks and just as cute and sweet as can
I just found out that the Wilderness type of Blue Buffalo dry cat food has
100 more per cup than their regular cat food.
It is a high protein low carb food. Depending on the age of the cat, that
might be a good choice instead of or along
with kitten food for gaining weight.
I just heard about the PUREVAX FELV vaccine. This is administered with a
transdermal technology
that does not result in possible injection site sarcomas.
Has anyone experience with this or heard anything especially with respect
to the efficacy of it compared to the traditional one?

I am very happy to report that the rescued kitten does not have feline
leukemia. He's just been neutered and given all his shots. He?will be able to
come home tomorrow. Other then worms and fleas, the vet thinks he's in good
health.? Kathryn

Hi all,
Max was my favorite feral of the many we feed. He was a big, beautiful
orange tabby. These guys are probably closer to semi-feral in that they
will let the regular feeders, of whom I am one, touch and approach them.
There was a coyote attack on 6/30; there was an employee at the store
How awful Kelley,so sorry for sweet Max. Hugs to you for caring for the ferals.

Thinking of asking an AC to communicate with him, but I have no pictures:(
We've had brutal dry and heat here or I don't think he would have come so
close to the store.

I have not, but Purevax rabies vaccine is widely believed to be both the
best vaccine and the least likely to cause VAS. It is also more expensive,
and not all vet clinics carry it.

it is definitely considered the safest on the basis of its delivery
system--has no adjuvant, which is still (i think) considered the main
culprit in injection-site sarcomas.
purevax vaccines are more expensive than others, but also do have a very
good reputation. but that doesn't necessarily mean
Cats are frequently killed in garbage trucks. They jump into
dumpsters to get food then either can't get out or are asleep when the
truck empties the dumpster. And people, being ever so humane, throw
kittens into them. There have been people killed in the same way.
I am so glad you have
I hope he will still show up Kelly. If the worst has happened then wishing him
a gentle bridge crossing. I understand how hard it is when a feral goes
missing. There are still 4 at the dumpster colony I have bee trying to TNR.
Only one shows up every day for feeding. The other 3 I only
Thank you all for?the information. You guys are really the best. If I have any
further questions, I'll be sure to ask. I've never actually dealt with a
frightened kitten but?I hope I will figure things out.?I will start by getting
him his own crate which will be placed in a quite room away from

much against her will, to live with me (Daddy's death, charges in the

You feed them and do everything you can to make their lives easier and
to let them know they are loved. I know, you will probably never
touch them, much less hold them but you do all you can do and worry
and cry then comfort yourself by thinking how much better you have
made their lives.
I'm so sorry, Kelley -

Kathryn,
There is a Yahoo Feral cat group that has some great files on taming stray cats.

The key is to take it one step at a time and take it slow.
Hugs to the new kitty

Hi, Kathryn. You're right - these folks are the best ever!
When I introduced my very inquisitive, rambunctious, 75 lb. dog to the litter
of kittens I rescued last fall, I had him on a collar and lead, and put him on
a down, stay a lot. The kittens had been here for about 3 weeks, in their
21 matches
