The Gray Stray

POE

2007-08-08T20:33:13Z

I took Poe to the vet clinic early in the morning and did not return with him until 6 pm. But there's good news: his kidneys are perfect!! His bloodwork was completely normal. He does have feline AIDS but no leukemia. More decent news. He was ne...

WOLFIE

This is probably a good time for an update on Hugo as well. Hugo has made incredible progress. He is quite healthy, and amazingly social. He loves being petted and brushed. He follows me everywhere in the downstairs shelter, and he's practically ...

HOME AT LAST!

Here he is, from wretched street stray to beloved house cat. All in one night. That was easy. For those of you who don't know, this striped stray kitty has been hanging around our house for probably about six months now. We were not able to catc...

STRIPED BEAUTY

2007-06-01T20:36:13Z

In case you don't know, we run a small stray cat shelter in the first floor of our duplex. We began in 2000 when we rescued a cat named Earl. We thought we could get him veterinary care and find him a home, but it turned out that he had feline A...

HUGO'S NEW DIGS

2007-05-05T00:30:54Z

Isn't he cute? Hugo sleeping on his new $37 blanket from Dave's. Don't get me wrong, he's worth it. But since he's so sick I won't throw it in the laundry so when it gets dirty I just have to buy him another one. We live really far away from any ...

STRIPED STRAY AT THE IGLOO

2007-05-04T17:21:08Z

Our newest stray to begin hanging out at the igloo is limping. I think his left front leg is injured. That happened to Earl, he began limping a week before we caught him and brought him to Laurel. We took Earl to the vet, and they shaved his leg ...

QotD: Pet Food Recall

2007-05-03T00:31:12Z

NEW STRIPED STRAY

2007-04-26T21:10:18Z

Alas, there are two new strays wandering my street and hanging out at the Igloo. I found this handsome guy lounging in my neighbor's driveway on Saturday. His coat looks fabulous because of the wallet-melting cat food I leave out for the strays, ...

2007-04-26T21:08:58Z

Here is a wonderful "after" picture of Hugo Wolf, in his new home. The "before" pictures can be found a few posts down under the heading "HUGO WOLF". In any case, Hugo is healing really well and he is completely comfortable. His hearing came bac...
