Created: November 24, 2001.

Site Charter: To provide personal experiences with Feline Squamous Cell Carcinoma and links to resources to aid in caring for your sick cat.

My pet, Snoop, was diagnosed with SCC in May 2001 and finally had to be put to rest on Sept 3rd, 2001. I am not an expert so see your vet or oncologist for a professional opinion.

If your story contains new and detailed information that you believe will help other cat owners then I will consider adding it to the site. Unfortunately, and sadly, I can't add all the stories because there are just too many. I also do not want to swamp the person seeking help with such a large volume of text. I hope you understand. Email information to me (or send a link to your site) and I will add it to this site. Include your cat's photo and name. Please focus on information others should fine useful in the treatment of their cat.

Suggestions for improvement are requested as is advice or comments for others. Use the survey link below or email me. If you have discovered a helpful link, please let me know and I will add it here.

Best of luck to you and your pet and thanks for suggestions and contributions.

P.s. I can't avoid the Geocities ad. Just close it.
