Butters is so clearly food-motivated, and he figured that out pretty quickly. I feel like this means you could probably train him to do just about anything with a food reward. Looking forward to seeing him sail majestically through a series of hoops.

Yeah I would just try dumping that can out onto a plate. Or maybe a big heavy dog bowl that he can't overturn.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:I’m not really sure. They were born outside; their parents are part of a group of stray (maybe feral or semi-feral?) cats that’ve taken up residence in our backyard. There’ve been stray cats living out there and having kittens for a few years now (we feed them and leave our garage open for them), but recently we heard a rumor that somebody in our neighborhood is trapping and shooting kitties, so now we’re trying to catch as many of them as we can to take them to shelters (or at least have them spayed/neutered). Ask at your local vet if there are any trap and release rescues in your area? If they are not able to come catch the colony they can probably loan you a humane trap to try for the kittens. Or you can buy them at places like Tractor Supply Company for not too much money.

If you think about it, Butters is really a 100% foster success. It's always bittersweet when a foster goes to their forever home.

Honestly probably depends on your area - where I currently live, the local humane society is a great no-kill shelter and Animal Control drops off strays there. In the town where I grew up, AC took all strays to the city pound where they were held for 7 days with no attempt to notify owners and then sent across the rainbow bridge if they were still unclaimed. Google in general is your friend to see what organizations are in your region and how well-received their efforts are. When it's a recognizable breed, there's a good bet you can search for "[breed] rescue" and find out if there is a local organization that will take them in. Edit: Also, you did good here. Despite your aversion to large dogs, you did your best to make sure this one was safe and comfortable. Sometimes that's all you're in a position to do.

PASS THE MASH posted:Hi I have come into possession of three kittens from a dryer vent. Not sure how old exactly but they have teeth and are eating wet food, drinking, and have all pooped and peed. One has some buildup near her eye that weve been cleaning regularly. They have toys and blankets that smell like us and our dogs in a little kennel. Planning to take them to the vet this weekend. Is there anything major that I’m missing. I’ll pay the cat tax in a second because they’re adorable.

sneakyfrog posted:welp the old dog was put to sleep. You can get, like, cat valium from a vet. I don't know of any OTC options besides Feliway.

Lady Demelza posted:I have a feisty, bouncy foster cat who came into foster care because his previous owner was beating him up. His bruises have gone down and, apart from a few old scars, the vet believes there's no long-term damage. I have never heard of that with a cat, but I recall some local humane society drama around a dog that had been seized from an abusive owner. They later tried to use a 3rd party go-between to adopt the dog as soon as it went up on the website. It probably would have worked if their chosen representative hadn't vented to the shelter staff about how the seizure was all a big misunderstanding and "Gary would never" and how she was going to make things right.

Skutter posted:Frankly, she will already be difficult to adopt out because she is blind. But if she can't eat on her own (worst case scenario), that makes it even tougher. I'm also worried about her weight gain, as our rescue fixes kittens at two pounds, and she is really lagging behind on that goal compared to her sibling. The vet says she is doing "fine" so far health-wise, but I am also personally concerned about malnutrition, delayed development, like you said. If she's only eating from your fingers so far, she might just prefer hands-on service because it's comforting that you're near? In which case you might be able to help transition her by putting her and her food in a nest of something that smells like you, like used towels or tshirts.

You done good. That's an excellent cat. And yeah, she should be able to clean on her own barring stuff that would be dangerous for her to groom herself (like coated in engine oil).

Pollyanna posted:I’m going to give it another couple weeks or so, but I’m considering joining a local foster program for a six-month cohort. I miss having cats around and I want to do something to help cats in need, but I have no idea where I will be or what I will be doing in two years (because lol, america) let alone a decade or more. Plus, I don’t quite know if I’m ready for a long-term commitment so soon after my last. Do you have, or can you get, a letter from your landlord that confirms pets are allowed? I know my local shelter requires this. Other requirements may vary.
