Just a suggestion, have you checked Military.com. Sometimes they have good info on current programs. In any event, I remember those services being available when I was on active duty (I was in charge of ACS -Army Community Services- and Alcohol/Drug Counseling in 2ID) Family counseling was handled in ACS. Times have changed but I would at least check there.

Since I don't know where your at, I'm not sure if you'll be able to work with/circumvent the system to get seen at the VA before he retires but as a help source, you could try the Chaplain Family Life Center on post. I had the same issue in AK and was ...See More

The VA will not see Active Duty. That is what the Army hospital system is for. The VA will see reserve and guard.

The Vet Center offers readjustment services to combat vets and their families as they transition from active duty to civilian life. http://www.vetcenter.va.gov/Vet_Center_Services.asp Services - Vet Center www.vetcenter.va.gov Readjustment counseling is wide range of services provided to combat veterans

I am a spouse that is currently in marriage counseling with my husband at our local Vet Center free of cost. What I can not get is individual counseling for myself. I have to get that at a civilian organization.

I would go ahead and check with your local Vet Center- the worst that will happen is they tell you no, but 10-1 they will be able to refer you to someone that does take military spouses, if not for free, on a sliding scale fee basis. I know as a spouse, I was able to be seen while my husband was still deployed- but then again I knew a lot of the people that worked up there through my FRG activities.

The VA paid in full for both me and husband to attend Charlie Norwood Marriage counseling retreat for a weekend.

Military hospitals also have mental health counseling for spouses. Fort Huachuca has a great counselor here. She sees anyone with a military ID card.

This is particularly good news for feral cats, as support of TNR is a centerpiece of Best Practices for shelters. By not intaking ferals, they stop killing them. And yes, even if a community doesn't support TNR, a shelter can decide to stop taking in f eral cats. They have to be brave enough to lose township or county funding and lose that contract if they have it. But that's just what the Humane Society in Athens, GA did. A few years later, the city voted to support TNR.

Our Longmont Friends of Feral and Abandoned Cats works with the Longmont Humane Society and Every Creature Counts in Ft. Lupton. ECC provides low-cost spay/neuter and LHS provides veterinary support for our feral foster kittens. We really value these two partners in out TNR work! After the kittens of feral moms have been socialized LHS places them up for adoption. It is great to live in a community that supports what we do.

Pamela Staeheli Alley cats is a nationwide rescue. http://www.alleycat.org/Page.aspx?pid=444 here is a link to apply for help for any ferals. Food, vetting etc. Also on their home page is a list of groups that can help in ANY area. Murdering these cat s does not help anyone. These poor cats did not ask to be dumped, hungry or unwanted. They need our help and it us up to us to do so. One at a time we can get it done. https://m.facebook.com/InstituteStreetFeralCatColony A poem for Buster.. How long did you have no food, no love How long did you wander around How long did you have no shelter How long did you sleep on the ground? How long did you lay under that wood pile Where I heard you crying for me How long did you have left to live How scary for you baby. Did they look for you? Did they call your name? Did they care at all for you? Did they throw you out or move away? Did they care of what you'd do? When I found you, you could barely move You could not even lift your head Don't worry now sweet little boy You can sleep here... On my bed I will care for you, I will kiss your face I will love you everyday I will keep you safe... I will love you so And I will NEVER walk away.

What about Dr. Ira Silver? Not sure if he is still around but I liked him a lot.

Dr. Benson is good..

Del ray animal hospital on Old Geprgetown Road. No frills and convenient. Dr Ferris.

I love the vets at Kenwood Animal Hospital on Butler, off River.

I'm following this! Harper goes to Happy Paws in DC, as it is just down the road from us, and he's always eager to go. But it's not a training place at all.
