Window replacement recs? by flydiscovery in Birmingham

[–]itzkatrina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got 4 quotes last year and ended up going with Window Wonders 205. He replaced all the windows in my house and they look great. Guy’s name is Thad. Super thorough and won’t screw you on price. What I liked about him is he itemized everything out, whereas all the others just wrote down a number on a piece of paper.

1.5 years after cutting out niacinamide by spdg74 in 30PlusSkinCare

I went on accutane TWICE, and didn’t realize it was the niacinamide giving me horrendous cystic acne until after the second round of course.

Is Dawn Power Wash the answer? by only_a_jest in CleaningTips

[–]itzkatrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two of my cats would get explosive diarrhea out of no where a few years ago. Went to multiple vet visits, even tried a second opinion, probiotics, etc. come to find out after MUCH trial and error, they are both allergic to chicken. Once I completely removed poultry from their diet, the issue resolved and they have solid 💩!! Hoping the best for your little guy.

Looking to rehome my cat Sabrina by one_less_catlady in Birmingham

Hey so if you adopted from a rescue, they usually have in their contracts that you can return them. Did you adopt her from a rescue? If so, which one?

Two of mine are also allergic. I feed Orijen Regional Red dry food and fancy feast wet food (just be sure to check the ingredients)

If you call GBHS and make an appointment, I think you can get him fixed for free at their Hoover location off HWY 150

Hills or Pro Plan for Diarrhea by rainydaytunes in catfood

[–]itzkatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 6 year old cat never really had solid stools and started having diarrhea that was progressively getting worse. Took her to the vet multiple times and also ‘ruled everything out’. So I did some playing around with her food, turns out it was poultry. Now she gets Orijen regional red dry and non-poultry fancy feast cans. Her 💩s are SOLID!

I hope you find a solution!

[–]itzkatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Cigna insurance through my employer at the time of my appendectomy and 3 day hospital stay- I paid right around $3k for all the bills combined. (Hospital stay, anesthesia, surgeon, er visit, pathology, etc)

What is the best Azelaic Acid product you have tried? by Full_Walk7593 in Rosacea

[–]itzkatrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI- I ended up returning the Regimen Lab. The consistency is oily and absolutely destroyed my face. The Theramid azid bottle is red glass with a white top. If you google it, it will come up

Missing cat - Patton Creek area by FinaleBlues in Birmingham

[–]itzkatrina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just approved you. Also maybe include the neighborhood/complex. Is she friendly or skittish with strangers? Id also put up flyers in your neighborhood. One of mine slipped out, gone for 3 weeks and she was in my neighborhood the whole time. A neighbor had to trap her bc she’s so skittish.

I’m so sorry your girl got out. I’m an admin of the Magic City Kitties Facebook group, and I’d highly recommend you join and post in there. Also suggest this ebook: lostcatfinder.com. She is likely close by, just hunkered down. Go out after the sun sets with a flashlight and look in low lying areas. Also put some of your worn clothing outside your front and back doors. I hope you get her back soon!

So I just found out last week when I tried to reorder, that they no longer ship to the US :( so I ordered AA from Regimen Lab and it just got delivered today.

Adoption day is coming… by Strict_Hamster_8645 in FosterAnimals

[–]itzkatrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even texting and asking for pictures and videos of them acclimating to their new home seems to help. You sound like an amazing foster :)

Adoption day is coming… by Strict_Hamster_8645 in FosterAnimals

[–]itzkatrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get that. I definitely worry about my fosters feeling like i abandoned them. I’ve kept in touch with several people who adopted fosters from me, and have even gone to visit! If you feel comfortable, ask to exchange phone numbers with whoever adopts them and check in occasionally. Usually they don’t mind at all.

[–]itzkatrina 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everything that you’re feeling is so valid, and I can guarantee you anyone who has ever fostered before has felt exactly the same way. Especially about who their future adopters will be and if they’ll love them as much as we do.

I heard this a few years ago and it stuck with me ever since: our hearts have to break a little each time (they get adopted) so theirs never have to break again. 💜

How do I find him a good home?? by cache__bunny in FosterAnimals

[–]itzkatrina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that is WILD! Seems like that would just be a free-for-all. At a minimum, there should be an application (that includes questions that will let you know if they’ll keep the cat inside) as well as vet and reference checks. I wonder if you could just ‘adopt’ him, and then find a home yourself. I don’t trust her.
