  • A cat family and their new owners (hopefully!)

    Christine has been writing to me to ask about this stray mother-cat and her kittens who lives around her house. This is Christine’s first time learning to care for cats and so I thought a trip to the vet’s would be good. At the same time, the cats can go for a check-up, too, since…

  • More information on Ginger

    From Peggy, after the visit to the vet yesterday: As regards Ginger, the vet said by the look of the wound, it doesn’t look anything like sporo or cryptocococcis. He said the wound is too clean to be it. He cut off all the dirty bits, and scraped a bit off the wound onto the…

  • Snowy Day 6

    Updates from Agnes: Snowy is certainly improving. The moment he saw me, he stood up, mewed a few times and then lied down, very relaxed. He has been eating very well from yesterday.
