PLEASE HELP NO HATE?? Hi everyone I need help I recently found 5 kittens in a box w a blanket in the az. As you probably know Arizona gets ridiculously hot in the summertime so of course I took them in. However I was turned away by 5 shelters due to overcrowding. They were in pretty rough condition so I took them to the vet. Well my friends $3200 later they have all there meds ?‍♀️?‍♀️? keep in mind I found these kittens on my dad‘s death anniversary and of course I took it as a sign haha. Anyways the didn’t want to vaccinate them until the medication is done which is in about two weeks. Can ..read more

My small cat just had a growth removed from one of her back toes, which has gained her four stitches. She easily takes her cone off and has even managed to take it off when I attached it to her harness, I'm not sure I can make it any tighter. Since a shirt is out of the question, anyone have ideas for protecting her foot? submitted by /u/xSweetSlayerx [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a 1 1/2 year old female small mini aussie. I would love to adopt a cat, and not necessarily a kitten. I have been around either cats or dogs my whole life, but never together. My dog is very nice. Not used to cats, but met a few. She is very curious, but have a lot of respect. I don't think she would have any issues with a cat around. In fact, I think she would love it. However. What are the odds that a young/adult cat will accept being with a dog if they didn't grew up with dogs? If I go to a rescue they might not know previous history. Also if you think this is possible, what's the b ..read more

Hey all, i really need some advice. I just adopted 3 month old kittens. I seriously adore them, but im having some issues with them climbing up my leg. Any time i am remotely near a counter, they will start meowing at me and will literally claw my leg to climb up. They have everything they need and are well loved, i just dont understand why this is happening. I have had kittens all my life and have never had this happen. All the advice ive found so far is about trimming nails and making sure you have a cat tree but i already do those things and it hasn’t helped.. I know theyre just babies but ..read more

So my fiancé knows a guy who owns an auto body tint shop by us and the guy lives at the shop. It’s a typical garage except he doesn’t have tools everywhere. He also has 4 dogs and the entire thing is actually really sad. There’s no AC and he keeps 2 of the dogs in kennels outside with no fan or anything on them during the day and most of the time no water. All 4 dogs are INFESTED with fleas. I mean when I flea combed one the entire comb was covered in fleas. When I saw the dogs condition, the first thing I did was call animal control (I’m still disappointed in how poorly they handled the enti ..read more

Hey all, I hope this is a suitable sub to post this query! Currently dealing with a battle against fleas (literally the most pointless, vile, spiteful creatures known to existence, I never knew I had so much vitriolic hate in my soul ?) In terms of prep, our upstairs is carpeted and will have a thorough vaccuming before I enact a vengful, chemical warfare-themed genocide on them, and whilst I'll also vaccum all of downstairs in the living room and kitchen, it's all tiled/wooden flooring. So in which case I want to mop the flooring and the corners etc...would pure disinfectant be of any use as ..read more

I have a 6-month-old puppy. She receives 1.5 to 2 hours of enrichment daily. In the mornings, before it reaches 100+ degrees, we play fetch for 5 minutes, use the flirt pole for 10 minutes, do 2 rounds of sniff and hunt, and take a 30-minute walk. In the evenings, after it cools, she gets 10 minutes of fetch, 8 minutes of flirt pole, and a 45-minute walk. Even after each session, she still wants to go outside and digs holes in the grass. I have to watch her from a distance, or she’ll shred the grass. She also eats her food from two enrichment feeders. She wants to go outside at least every ho ..read more
