About Me: About Me: I retired as a Private Investigator when we got involved in feral cat rescue and to home school our daughter who was 11 at the time. She\\\'s now 18. I\\\'ve rescued cats for 38+ years and they were all strays. My husband, daughter and I have been involved in feral cat rescue for 7 years now working with local shelters and feral cat agencies. We have 30 inside cats with 7 foster cats at the moment. Twenty of the cats are feral. We trapped them at a local trash transfer facility - eventually getting the whole colony. We were told most of them were not adoptable because they were too old. The options were to either euthanize them, set them free or keep them. We kept them all. There is only one that we\\\'ve been unable to tame but she plays with her family and seems quite content to have a fully belly. They are wonderful, loving cats and bring so much joy to us every day! We keep a record of the animals we have rescued, fostered, adopted out or taken to the shelter to be adopted and our current total is now 464. We have rescued animals from squirrels, raccoons, dogs, horses and birds. We have taken in rats that were no longer wanted by their owners, mice, degus, jirds, rabbits, and hamsters. The injured wildlife are stabilized and then taken to a rehabber. The animals that are adoptable are placed in trustworthy homes or go to the shelter we work closely with and those that are not adoptable stay with us. It\\\'s a way of life for us and one that we would never change. My favorite activity is riding with my daughter on our horses down the trails in our town to the beach...and racing up and down the beach. Quite unfair as she has an Off the Track Thoroughbred so I have no chance of ever winning! :)

Please, please get this cat spayed! There could be so many reasons why this is happening but certainly you should not let her have another litter.

Breeds
They don\\\'t die... They\\\'re just usually born sterile. As it turns out, 1 in 3,000 calicos is male, and female oranges are even more common. The kicker is that, because it takes two X chromosomes for the calico coloration to occur, almost all most calico males have too many X chromosomes and are therefore sterile. Only 1 in 30,000,000 calicos could ever father kittens.
Cat Health
Because the cat in question was a indoor housecat, it is believed that the tabby caught the Swine flu virus from one of its two owners who were also sick. The bad news is that a cat can catch the Swine flu virus from people; however, people can\\\'t get the Swine flu virus from cats. Cat influenza or H5N1 comes from eating birds, and is a bird flu variation only transmitted between birds and cats via consumption. Cats symptoms include an appetite loss, lethargy and trouble breathing. Grooming is also decreased and a sick cat will crouch on all fours instead of sprawling across an area. This is due to respiratory problems. While the Iowa tabby did get the Swine flu virus, he is said to have made a full recovery after getting a round of antibiotics and fluids for dehydration. While it is not yet known how sick cats can get from the H1N1 influenza virus; however, the Ames, Iowa tabby survived the flu just fine.
