I have a wonderful, loving former "throwaway" named Dixie Louise. We are not real sure how old she is but I suspect about 2 years old. She was tested for FeLV + in June 2005 when I took her to the vet to be spayed.She lived on my mother's patio and in a pine thicket for several months

Thank you, Becca - they had their 7th day anniversary on Saturday, their eyes are almost open, but not yet. They all are doing well,, though mama Bella has been sneezing, so I am a bit worried. The babies are so cute together - they fight with each other, kicking each other with their tiny leggs

Marylyn, my opinion might be biased, but still real, so I wanted to share this with you.. If you are going to have her anesthetize for dental, please run an entire blood work to make sure that all of her organ is normal, and she is not anemic.. I have had very bad experience with it for a

Congrats to Pekoe! That's SO wonderful! And the fact he's stopped eating concrete--wow. It's good to know that miracles happen, and Pekoe sounds like a real little miracle. He sounds just like my neg Tiger in his newly acquired litter habits. Tiger does pretty well what Pekoe does. Also
