You live in the same area as me. I work in Seattle, at UW, and live about 25 miles north. It looks like I'm about to start fostering two incontinent kittens from the sanctuary where I volunteer and I've been looking through all the material on this site that might help me. It will be good to have an...

I'm glad you updated us on Archie because I've been thinking about him, and what a relief that he is showing some progress. Whenever I have to put one of my cats on a prescription diet, I go with Royal Canin rather than Hills if at all possible. I have a true aversion to Hills because the list of in...

I posted about Zazesh who mostly drags himself around by his front legs because the muscles in his hind legs atrophied badly when they were matted together for many months, perhaps years. He is in diapers most of the time, and I'm very grateful for the advice I've seen here on creams and sprays to u...

Other people on this forum have far more extensive experience than I have but I can tell you about a foster I had last year. She had been hit by a car (they think) and found by the side of the road paralyzed in the hind end, a large festering sore on her back and with kittens (who all survived). She...

The cheapest I've been able to get so far was 92 for about $20 at Walmart. They are Snugglers. Do these have aloe on them? I...

I'm very new to caring for a diaper cat also but everything seems okay so far. When I have Zazesh diapered round the clock, which about 5 days a week, I hold him tummy side up in my arms and put his hind end under slow moving warmish water from the bathroom sink tap every time I change his diaper. I...

A week ago I adopted a 12 year old cat from a local Animal Control; I've named him Zazesh, which means someone who can adapt to anything. He was listed on Petfinder as a cat who was a bit wobbly, had some problems with a litter box and had been found with a full body fur matte. In fact, he's more di...

There are a number of people on this forum who will be able to give you some ideas about possible conditions your kitten might have and exercise/massage suggestions . I can only refer you to a Best Friends Guardian Angel web site about a dog called Rhubarb who has developed either progressive neurop...
