A raccoon visited my feral cat feeding station last night. If you do not want to feed the other wildlife, set up a feeding schedule for your feral cat colonies.

Normally male feral cats can be returned outside after their surgery within 24 hours, and female cats can… Read more »
I’m in Amsterdam on a layover watching a show that I just discovered called Animal Antics. Leave it to the BBC to have an such an adorable show. It’s like America’s Funniest Home Videos, but all animals, all the time. Check out this cat video. I’m pretty jet lagged so I haven’t done much on… Read more »

I took the girls to get checked out at the clinic and re-vaccinated because it had been three years since they… Read more »
