• My little Bear-Bear - by Rebecca - (Wed, Aug 29 2007)
  My little Bear-Bear died yesterday (07-30-07) and laid to rest. Bear-Bear was only 28 days old and full of life. At least that is what I thought. I adopted him into the family when the mother would not take care of him and his two other siblings at the precious age of three weeks. I was told that they were weaned at that age since they were link bobcats. [more..]

  One day when I was home alone a stray cat and her kittens were out side playing. The story on how I came to have a beautiful calico kitten named Macy is to long to tell. When I got her she was a terrified puffball. 2 months later me and my grandmother took her to the vet to take a look at her runny eyes and sneezing nose. [more..]

  This has to be the most devastating thing I have EVER experienced as a cat owner. I have never seen a disease do so much damage , so fast, yet be so elusive to properly diagnose as it hides behind symptoms common to other infections and viruses. [more..]
• FeLV/FIV=Death in the family - by Wendy - (Mon, Aug 06 2007)
  We had four beautiful, loving cats in our family. There was Ducky (tabby), Charlie (Norwegon forest cat), Ozzy (mix), and Stuppy (Siamese,Calico). We loved them with all our hearts. Spoiled rotten! All of our cats are rescue cats, and Ducky was new to the family. We accepted Ducky into the family because I had thought I found a home for him (they changed their mind), but we were unaware that he was infected with a cancerous disease. [more..]
