She'd been putting out food and milk, trying to attract his attention and feed him. She's a cat-friendly person, but doesn't have cats where she lives now (with her Aunt). Then the kids who came around had kittens - brought them down for us to see, and we put one in a carrier under the

Hmm... That makes me wonder... I'm sure you told this nice, cat friendly, (but, cat-less at the moment), woman, Sam's story, right? Did this woman seem like a suitable adopter except for the fact that she's living with her Aunt? Is the Aunt a cat-eater, or anything? If it looked like a

I've got Sam here at my house.. he's not going anywhere unless it's a REALLY good foster home, indoor only of course. Right now he's snoozing! I kept thinking about a kid's book, or documentary film, called Sam's Adventure, or Finding Sam, or something! On Jun 5, 2005, at 10:03 AM, Nina

I'm glad he's safe and sound with you. I think a children's book is a great idea. Anything that helps kids learn early to appreciate animals as individuals with all the emotions and attributes of humans is a good thing! Nina Gloria Lane wrote: I've got Sam here at my house.. he's not going

You are right Barbara, this is importnat too. Some of them are just trying to make money. There is one in Toledo that attracts people by the low call fee- 7.50 $ and then is quickly examining the pet and prescribing medications. He just did't pay attention I was there with Jersey (the exam

I think we may need to be careful about this for legal reasons. Maybe it would be best to respond by private email to inquiries about vets that are either recommended or best to avoid in a certain area. The Feline Chronic Renal Faliure List has a policy of asking members not to mention

Hey Cherie, Just to clarify, when you say contact lens solution you mean saline, right? There are contact lens solutions that are cleaners and you wouldn't want to put that in anybody's eyes! My Timmy has fairly long hair and since he's begun shedding, he's got some small mats developing.

I have 4 Persians now (fosters). I use a metal comb, easier if a friend helps. I don't cut unless I get the comb under the matt and can cut on top of the comb. I also use the comb to comb thru the hair gently, and sometimes I use the very end of the comb to gently putt a few hairs out and
