my committee have recently launched a pet food bank in addition to the ongoing work we do in the community for outside dogs who are chained/tethered. today, the amount of dog food collected amounted to around three hundred pounds, and so i thought of a neighbouring county humane society director. she wants to model a committee like ours helping outside dogs, in her own community. in turn, she is assisting us [best she can] with steps their HS have taken to get an ordinance through in favour of the well-being for tethered dogs. we are still going in that direction, but it's been difficult- our county commissioners unfortunately are not at all like hers. i feel like this is the armpit of the usa in areas pertaining to an absence of reasonable steps being taken into the 21st century for the interest of animals across the board!

I have been catching up on this animal rescue thread. Thank you for starting it.

I spend half the year out in rural New Mexico working with the Humane Society there rescuing homeless dogs and cats. We are a very small organization with no facilities, so we take each rescue/stray into our homes until we can find them a way home or out. It truly is the best alternative for the animals (having a home, rather than being in a crowded loud kennel) but it does take an extra toll on us.

Happy to read about the anti-tethering laws in your area. We are far from there, but headed that direction hopefully. I have been searching, but cannot find the non-profit that I am sure exists that actually provides the kennels for people. Do you know the name of it?

But I did find this site:

not sure if this belongs here.

but I got a cat yeterday. adopted from the spca she is between 2-4 yrs old, they couldn't tell. she is a tortie.

anyway she has been sneezing since we brought her home. and Daddy has a cat and I don't want him to get sick so for now we put her in our extra bedroom with her litter, food and comfy bed. I called the spca and they said keep the cats apart for a bit and they are giving us some medicine for the sneezing.

do you think the other cat is going to get sick??
I feel horrible...

[violaine]

softly, congratulations on your new family member

here are some links for you. i would keep the cats, food/water bowls, et c. separated until the symptoms of the respiratory distressed kitty subside.

some cats have respiratory problems and allergies. I have a cat that sneezes often and running nose. have the cat checked and if not temp or infection it could just be allergies. I've started giving the cats (I use to just give the dogs) cod liver oil and I also use that natural flea stuff in water around here (ashley's green products) which has vinegar and garlic in it. This has helped quite a bit but it still happens and I have to clean his eyes a lot.

I have a few sneezers in my house. They get allergy shots every month. Our vet said we could give them half a benadryl a day, but our little drama queens foam at the mouth when we try to give them pills. R has learned from our country vet how to give shots . With our brood of rescues, we keep medication on hand in case one gets sick.

With yours coming from a shelter, I'd be careful she doesn't have pneumonia. We've had to battle that here more than a few times. We keep a stethoscope on hand so we could listen to their lungs.

How did it turn out? Runny nose w/discharge, sneezing, discharge from the the eyes, mouth breathing, lack of appetite are all indicators that the cat has an URI. If your cats have had their FVRCP they have been inoculated against Rhinotrachetis. Cats who have had their shots might get sneezy but they don't generally get a full blown infection. It can kill a cat if left untreated.
