Hi there, A gentleman I know is moving into a small flat and is faced with having to give his 1 year old cat to a rescue centre if he can't rehome him.

Spaying of dog
My little bundle of joy is having this done next Friday (at four months old - quite young, I know).

Cat Help!
Everyone on here was so helpful aout my poorly cat Rusty (who is getting much better now he is allowed outside) so I have another cat question which sounds a bit odd. My other cat, who had a really big loud meow has lost her voice (its more like a very faint croak, if anything). Im not sure if this requires the expense of…
pregnant stray cat
I got a bit of a problem with a pregnant stray cat and don't know what to do about it. My next door neighbour has been feeding the thing but he is in hospital at the moment so I'm feeding it. I don't fancy a bunch of stay kittens adding to the local cat population but I don't know who to call or what to do about it. I…

Integrating a rescue cat - tips please - UPDATE
I am getting a rescue cat this week. Boy 8 years old, lovely friendly little cat! I am slightly worried tho as I already have a 3 year old girl I have had from a kitten.

Cat furniture repellant..
Does anyone know of any old style receipe for a cat furniture repellant spray that can be used instead of buying a shop bought chemical spray.

Pet Insurance
I know this has been discussed before, and I was about to go with Tescos, but went to our vet for the first time and he thought they were really bad. Now I know he's probably paid by PetPlan to say that, but I don't know. PetPlan do seem really expensive. It's what our cat is on at the moment, but that's only £11. Add the…
