    Looking for support and advice while trying to socialize 4 ferals

    Oh- one more thing about Fish! I was sitting in her pen with her scratching her butt last night,and she started purring and licking my fingers. Then she rolled full on her back, belly up, and let me scratch her belly. I thought she might hit me, but she just kind of hugged my fingers with her...

    Looking for support and advice while trying to socialize 4 ferals

    They're all four making really good progress:) A couple of days ago I started indefinitely giving them access to the house (besides the garage and the closet where they could get stuck in small places). We were planning on going on an outing during the day, and I wondered if I should put them...

    Here's a quick update, everyone:) The babies seem to be a lot less hissy. They're still quite hissy if you reach towards them, but other than that they don't really do it at all. I'm still letting them out to play in the evening and rounding them up right before I go to bed. That's the only...

    Thanks for the tip!! I am absolutely going to purchase some Gerber #2 and see where it gets me:) I've had a hard time finding treats that they really find irresistible. That sounds like a great plan :) Rascal sounds adorable! I hope the Bear gets to where he's at with time

    Aww look at those sweet babies! I'm so glad they came around in time and that you're a happy family now:) All of your encouragement has really helped. I'm just going to be patient and trust in the process! It does seem like they're doing better. They used to hiss if I was too close and looked...

    Here's a picture of the bear that was sent to me by the gal who trapped them that same day, if it helps anyone in identifying his coloring type! (I love learning about this stuff- it's kind of fun!)

    Thank you for the advice! I'll slow way down with him. I love them all to pieces but he's probably my favorite of all. We might even end up keeping him. Your story makes me feel a lot better about their timeline:) I tried researching how to socialize them, but the literature I found said it...

    Our little grey girl, Fish, is going to be such a social kitty. She's already almost tame (maybe that's why the others seem like they aren't making progress by comparison). My partner's good friend, who is a very large man with a very deep voice, came to visit him the other day. I walked into...

    I laughed at "a human from a Rottweiler" 🤣 I'm sure you're right, I just need to have patience That sounds like a good idea, trying to let him come to me. He generally does his best to avoid being anywhere near me. I reached into the pen to take out the litter box to change it today, and he...

    Oh and one other question if you don't mind! Can you tell from looking at him what kind of kitty Little Bear is? I assumed he was some type of Calico just because I don't really know my kitty types :p I'd be curious to know! His body is all white with black spots like a little cow, only his head...

    Oh my goodness, bless you. Your comment almost made me cry. I have been so worried about messing up and compromising their futures in a loving home. You've made me feel so, so much better. All of your suggestions are so wonderful and appreciated. They will be such a huge help moving forward...

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the community but have been feeling concerned and ineffective and I would deeply appreciate any support or advice anyone might be able to offer. I [28F] recently moved out to the country, and a new friend of mine invited me to a "local animals" facebook group. A week...
