New today: On this new page, Rabz in Texas asks, "Which multivitamin would you suggest for this breed if diet is raw wet food? .. since I will be feeding wet raw meat to my two Maine coon kittens, I want to know which multi vitamins would be good to add?

There are many brands out there so I am unsure which is good...

New today: In a new comment on our Kitten Scam page, Kimberly asks: "Have you heard of a breeder GJ Maine Coon kittys? Says they are in Texas. I feel we may have been scammed. Thanks"
If you have heard of this one, hop on over and let Kimberly know in the comments! If you haven't, and can recommend a good breeder near her, that may be good too.
Our Kitten Scam page continues to be one of our most visited pages. Unfortunately, the scammers are as active and crafty as ever. In fact, I always delete and ban at least dozens and sometimes hundreds of scammer comments on each FaceBook post on our FaceBook page. If you've ever wondered why commenting gets turned off after a few days, this is why!
