FYI: Pretty Boy came to the house as a throw-away/stray/feral and
hung around until we were able to live trap him for neutering (the
price of free food, shelter). He avoided being trapped for almost a
year. I had his teeth pulled and left him at the vet's for a long
time to recover then
Try putting a plea for vet help on Animal Wish List. It's a Yahoo Group. Have
funds go directly to the vet. Most vets will work with u on payments.

Jenny,
Most people in this group have heardr this story a dozen or five dozen times

Thanks for the info, Beth. We have a Tractor Supply about 12 miles
away, and tho we don't go there often, I want to try this chick feed.
We live in a very cool climate, so maybe we won't get the weevils or
sour smell that sometimes comes from wet corn. I scoop frequently
too which should help.

Thanks for taking care of Luke. It's very difficult taking
care of a cat who fights your every effort to help her/hin.
You are very kind.
