Have you noticed your cat doesn’t visit her water bowl too often? Don’t worry – it’s normal for a feline. But you still have to make sure she stays properly hydrated.
If your cat never seems to drink much water, don’t be too concerned. She’s not sick. Most cats have a relatively low thirst drive. It’s because their wild ancestors once lived in desert environments, where water was scarce and the only available moisture came from the bodies of prey animals. So is it possible for […]

These are cats in Room 7. The picture with Esso and 3 of his friends was taken a while ago. They are in the green bed, a very large comfortable and comforting place for these scaredy-cats to snuggle together. Someone removed the green bed a while ago (to clean) and it hadn’t been returned. A […]

That was in June of 2013. I […]

Why do Laura and I kitty foster? It fills a need but not ours. It’s that little furry one that requires special care and meds to survive or the helpless ones that desperately need critical feeding because Momma can’t deliver. The downside of fostering? Giving ’em back after they creep into your heart. So big […]

After syringe feeding this little one for almost six weeks(at one point, hourly), little Watson has discovered dining on her own. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this video says it all. We are thrilled that she is finally gaining weight nicely. Enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxZG0PKCxww&list=UU1RpdsZUN-YoGDlGe7Dysxw
