Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hello! SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE - Thursday 16 April - 10pm This is just a heads-up that the Cat Chat web server will be having some essential maintenance carried out tonight (thursday 16th), from 10pm so the website will be temporarily unavailable. We hope it will only take a half hour or so, but depen...

After a spate of spam posts as well I was wondering if there was any way to increase security generally to deal with both issues? Hi Mollycat, those two issues need to be dealt with in different ways as the occasional spate of spam posts are almost always from automated 'bots' and the 'marketing' e...

Just a 'PS' to my original post... I have edited it because initially I posted the incorrect information. So just to clarify, if you want to prevent other users from being able to send you emails via the board, you need to set the “ Users can contact me by email ” setting to "No" as described in my ...

Hello, Over the last couple of days we have been alerted to a couple of forum users who have been using the forum's internal emailing system to send 'marketing’ emails about a certain company's 'audiobooks' to other users. Those two users have now been banned, of course! But we wanted to let you kno...

Hi, Sorry to hear about Backy's issues. Hopefully some of our experienced posters on here might have some ideas, or had similar experiences. As you asked about websites or advice lines, I thought I would just mention our Useful Links section, in particular the last page of our Health & Care links wh...

Hi Lilynmitz, Good idea to mention the 'Car-Pet' hair remover... did you know we sell those on the Cat Chat webshop?

Hi Ruth,

The final 'purple' colours have been re-instated today on the front menu screen of the forum. If it still shows as blue to anyone, you will just need to refresh your browser to make it show the latest version.

Cheers!

Hello! We carried out a much-needed upgrade to the Cat Chat forum today (11 December), so it was offline for a few hours while that was being done. Apologies to anyone who wanted to post during that time. This was quite a major upgrade, so as you can see (as at 5.30pm) we still haven't got all the c...

VOTES NEEDED to Help Celia Hammond Animal Trust Celia Hammond Animal Trust do fantastic work in the London area (and beyond), not only rehoming many cats (and dogs), but also with their low-cost neutering clinics, and their work neutering feral cats. They have made the "Final Three" in the Animal F...

Hello, I don't know if you have rehomed your cat yet, but I just wanted to add that it would honestly be best if he were neutered, particularly as he is allowed outdoors. All the reasons why, and how to get low cost neutering if needed, are on our Neutering Information page here: https://www.catchat...

This Sunday, 14 October, Peter Hanson from The Cat Gallery will be running 26.2 Miles in the Yorkshire Marathon - in aid of two charities: Cat Chat, the Cat Rescue Resource (yes, that's us!) and International Cat Care.

UPDATE to this situation (as at lunchtime Weds 26 Sept). Cat Chat has now been in touch with Marlene to offer help if needed, and found out that she has re-homed all the cats that are looking for indoor homes and only has 9 feral cats left to place. She is amazed at the offers of help she has had. ...

Hello, Apologies for the late update. Here is one of Spyro's X-rays, that he had done on Monday. spyro-x-ray.jpg His owner posted this update on Tuesday: " Spyros xray went well yesterday. His two main leg bones (i forget their names) have broken off their growth plates, which is why his leg has a p...

Just a brief update - the GoFundMe page for little Spyro has already reached £205 as at this morning. His owner posted this update on the page: " I am overwhelmed at how many people have helped Spyro so far. I can't say thank you enough. You are all amazing! Will be contacting the vet again today to...

Hello, spyro-forum-cropped.jpg We don't usually promote funding posts on the forum, but little Spyro (and his owner) need any helping hands they can get. Spyro (pictured) has a fractured leg, it needs amputating, but the vet bill is beyond his owners' means, and they face possibly having to give him...

Hi Mark, Firstly, well done on caring so much for this little fella, despite the issues!! Just a few thoughts to throw in here for you - in no particular order: As has already been mentioned, I assume all the cats are neutered? If not, that is the first thing to do. Not just the cat who is spraying,...

Hi Emma, First of all, well done to you for caring! Marla is right, he is most likely lost or abandoned. Please do try the "paper collar" idea, given on the link in Marla's post to the 'Found Cats' advice though, just in case he does live locally and is just taking advantage of a nice warm house if ...
