The winter months are always the most difficult. Between the strays & the cats in the shelter, we’re going through an enormous amount of supplies. Consider helping us help cats by sending the kitties a gift from their wishlist : www.amazon.com/registries/g...

Things like this are also helpful - vets are often expensive & most of us can’t afford to take our cats for every (little) problem. But I wanted to know how to differentiate as best I could what demanded a vet visit versus what I could manage if I understood her problem well.
Things like this :
A chart with a cartoon cat in the process of vomiting. It is supposed to help people identify the cause of their cats, vomit and features several different images of different kinds of barf. The following text also appears. CAT VOMIT 101 What colors and textures can tell you about your pet's health GREEN WITH BITS Plants (ate plant material) GREEN OR YELLOW Bile (prolonged empty stomach) CLEAR OR YELLOW WITH HAIR CLUMPS Hairball (if chronic, may need grooming help) RED, PINK Blood (internal bleeding medical emergency) CLEAR WHITE, FOAMY Water (if Stomach irritation chronic, potential if chronic, potential BROWN WITH UNDIGESTED CHUNKS Regurgitation of food or other ingested substance (ate too fast) BROWN WITH COFFEE GROUND TEXTURE Blood (internal bleeding) medical emergency) CLEAR WITH SPAGHETTI-LIKE TEXTURE Roundworm parasite diabetes) infection or allergy) (needs anti-parasitic medication) VETERINARIANS OFTEN JOKE they have the only profession that makes vomit acceptable dinner table talk, says Dr. Barbara Hodges, a program director for the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Alliance. That's because this bodily function can tell us a lot about our pets' health, which is perhaps the sole upside to cats' ability to throw up in awkward places (under the bed, on the rug...). "Most cats prefer the comfort of soft surfaces and may seek them out when they're not feeling well," says Hodges, and "they may feel a bit more secure because they have better traction on these surfaces." If it seems like your cat throws up more often than your dog, that's because they (probably) do. "Dogs evolved as omni-vores, so their gastrointestinal systems might be more tolerant of a wider range of foods," says Hodges. Cats, however, evolved as exclusive carnivores, so their GI systems might be "more selective and THESE BODILY FUNCTIONS CAN TELL US A LOT ABOUT OUR PETS' HEALTH.

Our #CatShelter is currently at maximum capacity with young cats. The smallest kittens and active teens need loving foster or forever homes. This is the bottleneck that stops us from saving the next cat 😔

You can support our kittens here: vncw.org/support

I think it's so funny that the cats have developed strong food preferences. As recently as May, they lived outdoors and had to hunt their own food. Now they only empty their bowls if it's chicken paté.
