As it turns out there are very few cat internists in Maryland, but lucky for us one of them, Atlantic Veterinary Internal Medicine & Oncology, shares an office with our local Pet ER—which we frequent more than we would like to admit.
All of Hoppy’s vet record had been faxed over—and were basically illegible—so we walked yet another doctor through the whole story. Feral cat

Due to a decrease in donations, HorseNet Horse Rescue in Maryland is being forced to close one of its two stables. This means a number of horses need to find new homes quickly. A friend of ours who adopted a horse from this rescue hooked us up with the stable manager so Photographers for Animals could help with updated photos to give these wonderful

Hoppy’s chin had never looked good, but I think it was easy to be distracted by the other things going on with his health. Looking back, I think I assumed his chin would get better when his upper respiratory infection (URI) got better—but that didn’t seem to be the case.

While I reached out to veterinarians I knew in the area, Jason (my husband) did his own research online. We were primary concerned with Hoppy’s persistent URI and figured FIV had something to do with its longevity.

We now had a feral cat in our basement—held in two dog crates, juryrigged together. It was going to be a long 14 days, for us and Hoppy.

Due to the veterinary clinic, where we had made appointments for two feral cats, being closed because of the snow storm—we brought Hoppy and Big Guy to the Pet ER. The costs are typically higher at an emergency vet, so we avoid it if possible, but with the clock ticking we thought it was worth it to get the cats looked at asap.

In February, on another assignment, Jason was in the neighborhood of the marina—where two years ago we had photographed a colony of cats. He decided to stop by and see if any cats were hanging around. It was very cold and there was still snow on the ground from a recent storm. Many of the cats were visible—including a black and white male, who
