ENTRY I would love to test one of my ferals, Frankie! The vet suspects he might have some maine coon in him!

Love this idea! My indoor cats are all doing great - Ninja, Gizmo, Snickerdoodle, and Mr. Chill - and are happy and healthy. My feral cats - Frankie, Aggie, Ghost, and Rusty - are all thriving as well, and are all becoming really comfortable around me. I get lots of purrs and rubs from them...

I agree with what everyone else has been saying. Please get them TNR'd. Some rescues have a budget for TNR programs, and can help out with the entire process. We were lucky to find one that did our four ferals. And if they're used to being fed on a regular basis, it's very hard for them to get...

I have a small colony of four feral cats that have been part of the TNR program. Since they were trapped and released, it took me about a year before I could pat any of them. Two are now very receptive to being petted while they have their dinner, one is kind of hit-and-miss, and I just managed...

Maybe once I get her sedated, that would be a good option.... thanks!

I never thought of Ativan.... that's a great idea! The drop trap was how we initially caught her after many months for the TNR program, and she won't go near one again.....

Thanks for the responses! Yes, a drop trap was how we finally caught her the first time. She wouldn't go near the other traps. But now she won't go near anything. Even covered with a blanket, loaded with fish, bacon, and treats inside. It's almost like she's scared of enclosed places. She always...

Oh no. I'm so sorry. :( Working with ferals is alternately incredibly rewarding and heartbreaking. It's so tough because you try your hardest to keep them safe, but face so many obstacles.

So, a bit of background.... When we moved into our house, there was a pregnant feral cat on the property. She had her kittens, and the family started hanging around our place. Then the mom (Aggie) got pregnant again. I contacted a local shelter, and they suggested that the cats enter the TNR...
