    Suggestions for good video camera to watch fosters?

    The blink doesn't require a subscription either. I have an app on my phone. I can see the videos and it's super easy to delete the ones I don't want and if there's one I want to keep, very easy too. I don't think the wyze does either but I wouldn't have bought it (also app on my phone ). But...

    Suggestions for good video camera to watch fosters?

    I have blink cameras for outside to watch the ferals and they work great. I use the wyze cameras in the house. I think they both work well - I don't have the motion sensors up for the wyze cameras but i like the quality for live view. The blink isn't super great for just watching the cats but...

    Setting up outside shelter

    Is there a particular shelter that you have purchased that you would recommend? Or do you typically make your own? I think the best place for it is tucked against the house (pool side vs barn side). I'm going to raise it off the ground a little so when the snow comes the entrance (and exit!)...

    Setting up outside shelter

    I haven't seen any besides that one time but I know they are somewhere in the woods.... That's great with the rubbermade box - I may give that a try. My husband is pretty handy so he's already been talking options :). I can't tell if that cat hangs around much. He usually eats fast and then...

    Setting up outside shelter

    I only saw a coyote once - it was on camera in the wee hours of the morning. I was feeding one of the ferals I trapped ages ago back there and the coyote had come out and smelled the food. I have cameras around my property and I haven't see one anywhere else. I did see a fox come up on the...

    Setting up outside shelter

    Hello - I am looking to set up some outside shelter for a cat that I have been feeding for a while now. Normally I would trap the cat but I have no place to put him and I feel terrible saying that. If I trap him and he's feral I won't put him back outside, that doesn't feel right to me, I...

    Combining Ferals....

    I wanted to thank everyone for the support and kind words on here. I have made amazing headway with the two ferals. Watson (originally in the basement) is fully integrated in the house, he loves pats and I can even pick him up! He also snuggles the other cats and is always rubbing up against...

    Pictures of him out and about! He's the grey tiger cat. He came into the kitchen and tonight he even came upstairs to check things out!

    Combining Ferals....

    Watson has joined the rest of the family!!! We put a screen door up in the basement so the other cats and he could sniff each other. We then had some supervised time together with some of the younger cats (who are more mild tempered). And within a few days he was able to join the family! He...

    I actually managed to get Watson to play with a feather wand and a laser pointer tonight. He looked like he was having fun :)

    Combining Ferals....

    We are moving along! Watson in the basement comes out and greets us (really just because he wants his food). He is super skittish but he will come near and he will eat right next to me. He was chirping at me tonight. I think in time he will come around more and then maybe in a few months I...

    Combining Ferals....

    Thank you! From what I've been reading on here, I think my first step is to continue working on getting the ferals comfortable with me - because they are not. We're already doing scent swapping with the toys and towels. I've been rotating the toys for scents but also to keep them from getting...

    Combining Ferals....

    Hello - I have 2 ferals that I trapped separately in my backyard. One wandered off from a colony, he was part of a TNR (I was able to connect with the rescue group, most of the colony is FIV/FELV positive, this little guy is not). I named him Bylka. The second feral I have no details on, no...
