Re: Buying a cat from a breeder
Just for information, Pedigrees do find themselves in regular rescue centres sometimes, but rarely kittens - nearly always it is adult pedigrees in rescue. But for those who will only consider a particular breed, they could consider an adult, or even a 'young adult'. There is a list of specialist pe...

Re: Should I report my neighbours to the RSPCA?
The best thing to do in cases of welfare issues is to lodge your concerns with the RSPCA’s cruelty and advice line. Describe the circumstances and they will be able to advise if it warrants an inspector’s visit. The number is: 0300 1234 999, and your call will be kept confidential.

Re: need help getting rid of cat urine
I had a problem with one of my fosters peeing. Like joolie75 I also used vinegar, it was white vinegar which I used and a spray bottle also. It did get rid of the smell thankfully! I can totally sympathise with you though, I tried everything I knew of including biological washpowder and various pet ...

Re: Need help - URGENT PLEASE
Hi Obaidi,
Milk doesn't go down well with most cats as most are intolerant it will upset their tummies. Can you get in touch with a vet ASAP so that they you can explain and advise what to do in this situation. Hopefully other forum users will be along to help but that would be my advice to you.

I wonder whether leaving the tap just dripping for a while would help?

Those things worked for my crf cats, although I never had to syringe ...

I think I would agree with Camdengirl, I would do all I could and you never know..if you don't you may regret it. I am not in your position though so if you're really unsure, I ask my vet what they would do if it were their cat.

Re: Help please - cat with cage phobia
Hi, I would get in touch with a local rescue such as Cats Protection asap. I've contacted them for the loan of a trap and I would think they'd be best to advise if trapping is difficult as they have lots of experience. If they can't help try other local rescues. Best of luck.
