Hi Glenda,
I didn't read this until this morning at work. What horrible people for not
letting you back to see Marmalade. I've got my fingers crossed for him. It's
so sad how many people don't care about our fellow creatures. Let us know
right away about Marmalade. He sounds like a great cat who
You may not have any. It depends on your local laws, which I would check into.

I agree with what has been said in prior postings.
When anyone surrenders a pet to a City/County shelter your rights end there.

It's devastating -- I was in a similar situation, but I was able to get the cat

Well this sounds like a very costly lesson for you, your friend, but esp for Marmalade. There are
some details missing from the story and I'm a bit confused. Why, if you were interested in helping
this cat did you and your friend decide to call animal control in the first place? What did you
This is sad and dangerous, how many peoples pet cats running loose
outside, ticking off neighbors have been falsely turned in as owner

the person surrendering the cat.

Hey guys,
Stretch's back is healing up quite nicely! Thank you for the advice! The spot
was larger than a quarter, and it was just raw skin-no fur and the top layers
of skin were missing; it was completely reddish, poor baby. I had already had
him on a course of antibiotics, which I'm sure

Diane,
I know you are a feral cat advocate and I usually agree with everything you post, but in this case I do not.
My only consolation for this terrible situation is that it might in some way shed light on the practices of our
municipal shelters. Glenda wrote to us about how everyone is
I've never used Brewer's yeast for cats, but one of my dogs had an
allergic reaction to it.
Her ears turned bright red and were very itchy. The vet said it was

I'd be very cautious about the dosage.

There's a very simple, responsible remedy for this, at least for pet

You can get tapeworm tabs online much cheaper.
I asked my vet, because we sometimes have small kittens come in from
the local kill shelter with tapeworms, and they are the same dosage of

Just be careful with the peroxide, it can actually prevent proper healing if
used to much. Weird but true. I was doing that with Momma's back as well
until I talked to the vet about it. I did notice that it worked great when
I first started using it, but eventually the spot stopped healing.
You can also order Drontal now w/o a prescription.
I just ordered 2 bottles @ 50 pills each from www.lambriarvet.com

If it was in a reasonably safe location, I would leave an animal
outside before I took it to a kill shelter. If not, I would find
someone who could keep the animal. I would (and have) begged people
to take in an animal, even for a day. I would sell plasma to get
enough money to board the cat.
Thanks for the tip Chris. I will keep that in mind and watch how this thing
heals in the next couple of days.
