Re: outdoor arrangments (was:Tip is Gone)

Well, I love my screened porch and so do my kitties and dogs. One thing 
I would worry about in an outdoor enclosure that allows access to the 
lawn is the possibility of them eating some toxic plants. My orange 
girl Rosalie did just that last summer and fortunately got better. 
Actually I had her on a kitty leash and was spacing out, thinking of 
something else, while she got into the flower bed and started chomping 
on some plants. 

THEN - soon afterward she began to vomit and couldn't stop for hours. I 
took her to the vet who finally suggested exploratory surgery. I agreed 
and nothing was found. Rosalie got better on her own and the vet thinks 
the plants were the cause. I am not sure which ones she sampled.   So I 
had a big scare and there went my entire income tax refund for last 
year.

Re: Loki Advice: fleas, throwing up

2005-03-02 Thread Nina




Steve,
I've been away from the computer for a while, so this may no longer be
timely. When I found my FeLV bottle babies (didn't know it at the
time), they were just over 2 weeks old. They were so infested with
fleas that they were bloody from them. At that very tender age I used
just a tiny amount of Advantage on them. I put some Advantage on a
Q-Tip and touched the back of their necks with it. That was all that
was needed to get rid of the fleas and the kittens showed no ill
effects. I know it's scary putting toxic stuff on our babies, but
sometimes the alternative is worse. I have since switched to
Revolution for controlling fleas because it's alcohol based (instead of
oil) and doesn't seem to upset my animals as much as the Advantage.
Revolution also claims to control ear mites and get rid of roundworms.
I never use a full tube, even on the adults. I find I can stretch a
tube between 3 or 4 cats and it seems just as effective with out having
to douse them in poison. Here's the link to Pet Shed were I order my
Revolution, I also get Drontal (worm med) from them w/o a
prescription. http://www.petshed.com/

After Levi began scratchingfrequentlyI put a

When the vet came, she examined him and said she

Recently, Loki has gotten fleas. He
scratches a lot, but it doesn't seem overwhelming. I don't see any in
the house, but will start a good cleaning/vacuuming regiment. I bought
a flee comb, but will of course do more. Does anyone have advice on
best course of action for a 9 month old FeLV+ kitty? I will also go to
the vet for any prescribed treatment, but don't want to cause him a
speck of stress withtreatment. My vet is very good in this regard
since he is opposed to poisonous stuff.

For the past three days Loki has been
throwing up in the early evenings. He is eating normally otherwise and
this doesn't seem to faze him too much. Our feeding regiment for him
has not changed. His supplements are L-Lysine and Vitamin C, which he
has been give for many months. His throwing up seems to occur sometime
after he has his wet food with supplements in the early afternoon
(4pm-ish). Any advice or comments?

Even though he is fine otherwise,this is
causing mevery much anxiety.

Thanks for any advice.

Re: Off topic - rescuing feral

2005-03-02 Thread Skf95111
Dear Hideyo:

You really have yourself a can of worms there, don't you?  I have a friend 
here in San Jose who is faced with a similar problem of feral cats 
proliferating 
around the company she works for...fortunately a pack of marauding dogs is 
not also part of the problem.

Because of your fear of losing your job, which is very real, you have to be 
very careful.  If you know of anyone in your area with an animal welfare group 
who could speak to the management on behalf of the cats so you don't have to 
be directly involved, it might help.  They need to be enlightened about feral 
cats and how to deal with them humanely.  I will redouble my efforts to get a 
copy of the info from the SF Humane Society...they may even  have a web site.  
They have info to support the fact that just trapping and removing the 
existing cats is not going to solve the problem in the long run...as soon as 
those 
cats are removed, others will move into the territory and the best solution is 
for an aggressive TNR program to spay/neuter the cats so they won't continue to 
reproduce and the population will then stabilize and gradually reduce though 
attrition.  Cats will control any rodent populations in the area as well.  
Perhaps if they will listen and learn and understand there is a reasonable 
solution, they will be less antagonistic.  One can only hope.  But, if the 
company 
won't listen to such an approach, then perhaps this person can at least get 
permission to com in to trap and remove the cats, humanely.  Is there some 
other, 
safer, area these cats could be released after they are S/N??

The dogs are far more of a problem than the cats.  And this needs to be 
pointed out to the company's management, as well.  Marauding dogs are much more 
of 
a danger to humans (to say nothing of the poor cats) and unless there is a dog 
rescue group willing to get involved, you will probably have to contact 
Animal Control.  It will be hard for you to realistically trap the cats with 
dogs 
running around loose to complicate things.

I do hope you can enlist the support and assistance of others in your area to 
address the situation.  See if you can find the e-addresses for other rescue 
groups (sometimes Animal Control will have a referral list) in your area and 
contact them and perhaps you will find others there with sympathetic hearts and 
a sense of responsibility who will help, so you don't have to jeopardize your 
livlihood to help these unfortunate cats.

By any chance are there any celebrities or people in the news media in your 
area who are animal lovers and might lend their clout to your cause??  In S. 
Calif. there is an animal welfare group called Actors and Others for 
Animals...I 
don't know if they might be able to help you in any way or not.  I had their 
phone no. at one time...will see if I can find it.  You might be able to get 
it (or numbers of other rescue groups in New Mexico) by doing a coputer search.

Bless you for caring so much, Hideyo.  I wish I were close enough to be of 
some real help.  Feral cats may never have the benefit of a loving home and 
human copanionship and protection, but their lives deserve consideration and 
they 
should not be treated like unwanted trash.  They didn't get to be where they 
are on their own...ultimately it was irresponsible humans who created their 
plight.  I do hope you will be able to find others who are able to help you 
resolve this unfortunate situation without losing your job.

RE: Off topic - rescuing feral

2005-03-02 Thread Hideyo Yamamoto
Thank you, Sally.

Well, it's probably sort of my fault - if I did everything carefully,
this wouldn't be an issue - 

They did not want me to feed cats anymore because they were peeing on
the furniture that we NO LONGER NEEDED and therefore BEING Abandoned in
the trailers in the parking lot.  When I asked the management if I could
trap them and remove them, they did not want me to go near them for
potential of me or anyone getting any disease (???) from dead cats, as
some of the feral were trapped in trailers for a long time, and they
died there, which still upset me to think about (Ginger's mom was
trapped there recently for three days - and I did not know about it but
she got out ok)-

My friend Kathy, offered to talk to the management before, I just did
not want to create any additional attentions around cats here because it
could go either way, if you know what I mean.  If I can quietly trap the
mama, it will be good, though there are two more out there possible.  I
had had trapped a total of 8 cats from here and never released them
back.

Wish me luck with my situation, Sally.  I just hope that all the kitties
left here are ok.

handicappers
Hey there everyone!

I was able to get a story of my 3 handicapped cats up on a website for 
special needs animals. The stories are of Winter (my blind cat), 
Finley (my one-eyed weirdo cat), and Igloo (the one-eyed, red-faced, 
something-is-perpetually-wrong-with-her, allergy cat). Aside 
fromtheir life stories, there are a lot of pics of them, as well as a 
few pics of special needs fosters I've cared for...some living happy lives 
and some with sad endings. Hope you get a chance to visit the page 
because I spent a lot of time on it...my digital camera takes crappy pics, 
so I had to photograph the old fashioned way. As well, every hit on 
the page gets a small donation for the shelter I work for.

I hope you enjoy their stories!
Lauren :)

Nina, sorry, I have not
shipped Surphur to you yet, I have it in my hand and have not forgotten!!. How is Gypsy?

My little Shitsu dog, Oreo
had a disc injury and started losing control of hind legs, I was very worried
because my other dog, JoJo had a similar injury and he became paralyzed within
72 hours. Though thanks to the surgeon,
he can walk again now. Anyway, we had to
watch him very careful for the past week, and I noticed that the condition was
getting worse, so I took him to the emergency clinic this week, and the same
surgeon who operated on JoJo is operating on Oreo as we speak  Please
pray that the surgery and his recovery will go well for Oreo, Nina!



I hope you will enjoy the
book.

We had a feral for about
3 years that we fed...a burmese mix, all black, big puffy head with a small body and
stubby legs. Everytime he saw us he'd hissso of course we named him
Hisspuff. After about a year we could pet him while he ate, but he'd
still hiss when he first saw us. We tried to get him to come into the
house...but he never would, just prefered the straw we put out for him in the
bushes out front. He got sick, nose stuffed up and eyes running - but
wouldn't ever let us catch him. He showed up at the back of the house one
day...just to say goodbye...again we tried to catch him, but he wouldn't have
it and went off to die...but he'll ALWAYS be one of my favorites!

Seeing them all again will be wonderful. Like you I have had pets of all kinds

Re: Feral cat book

2005-03-02 Thread Nina




Hideyo,
Of course I'm praying for Oreo! I know how anxious you must be. How
old is he/she? It's so hard when you have so many. I was just musing
this morning about how much easier it would be to care for everyone, if
they were all healthy. You better not lose that job of yours! I'm
praying for the ferals by your work as well. I would look for help in
rounding up those dogs. It's a very dangerous situation and no way for
them to live. Life is so hard sometimes.

Don't worry about sending me the medication for Gypsy, you have enough
on your plate right now. If you would please email me the exact name
and treatment amount/protocol, I'll sit on my vet until she helps me
get some in my hot little hand. Thank you for asking about Gypsy. Her
IBD symptoms have not improved. It's very frustrating. I have a call
into my vet to see if she has anything else up her sleeve.

Nina

i have only 7 cats (down from 9 )and 1 dog (down 
from 2). and people regard me the same way--especially my family members. screw 
'em. I thank god I'm hardwired to respect animal life and enjoy their 
companionship. You are an angel to risk your job for these ferals. did you try 
contact Alley Cat allies-even if just to ask for help on how to deal with your 
company's higher ups? (and how the heck do they claim the cats are a danger? 
idiots!)
have you asked around any stables if they need barn 
cats? (a local woman rescues ferals out of our pound -and rehomes them 
that way).
if only i could win the megamillions lottery.
