Good News! He is not totally feral after all. Last night in my attempt to calm him, I went to the store and bought the feliway. Also
added a space heater since I felt the garage was getting a bit drafty and I replaced the regular blanket covering his cage with an
electric blanket to hold the...
Thank you. Yes he does. I have two large dog crates connected. The back of the cage is covered and has a bed and blanket.
The front cage has his litter box and food and water. Tonight he moved to the front cage which is uncovered. Usually if he is
in the front he will retreat to the back when...
Vet came to my house today. He snuck up behind the cage and injected him with the sedative. A few minutes late he was out. He then examined
him right there on my garage floor. First thing he noticed was the cat was covered in fresh loose stool. So he had to clean him up. Not sure if this
was...
It does require a prescription but as so Willowy said most vets give it pretty freely. I have obtained it for my ferals twice without his ever
seeing any of them. Just call up or go in and ask for it.
Definitely, Revolution. That kills the ear mites and any other pests, internal too. We have one feral inside we still can't touch but snuck up on her while she was sleeping and shot the back of her neck with a syringe of Revolution.
She had earmites too. All gone.
Update. I got him tonight! Many sleepless nights and watching other cats go in and out of the drop trap. Sigh. He would not go under it.
Finally tonight he did. The transfer was even trickier. He would not go into another small transport cage so we coaxed him into a large
dog cage where he...
I visited my vet yesterday and explained my situation. He thinks "just a guess of course", that he may have a bite wound. Im skeptical since
he's fixed but anyway, he gave me liquid Orbax and wants me to sneak it into his bowl and see if this helps him. He also said he thinks I should
get him...
I have been feeding both indoor and outdoor cats Halo's Spots Stew Grain Free canned, BFF (Best Friends Feline) Grain Free Canned, and Tiki Cat canned.
For dry they get Fromm Four Star Surf & Turf. This cat food is hard to find except online. It's made in America and never had a recall.
The...
Thanks. I ordered this one.

I really didn't find a lot of choices out there for drop traps but read that they work for trap savvy cats.
So would you advise not to put the food under it the first day? Just let him get...
I have still had no luck trapping the injured cat. He still comes onto my porch every night to eat.
He hasn't been eating much though. Just drinking goats milk for the most part. He's still holding up his left foot
so I don't think its gotten any better.
I just ordered a drop trap. It won't...
Get a scat mat. I bought one to keep the cats off my work station and kitchen counters. It works. It doesn't hurt them
and I only had to put it there once. Cats are smart they learn quick. They are expensive. The cheapest I found one
was on ebay but worth the money. Check amazon for the...
I posted about 6 months ago about tnr. I did trap and fix 1 mother cat, 1 tom cat and 2 kittens.
We kept the mother and 2 kittens but released the tom cat after he recovered. My dilemma now is
I need to retrap the tom cat. I have been feeding him for the last 6 months and he has been doing...
Update on my captured felines. Mama cat has recovered from surgery. The two remaining kittens have been trapped and we have had them now for
about a week or more. The setup we have at the moment is 2 x-large cages connected together. They sleep in one and use the other
for litter food and...
I called the vet and he said the same thing. He is stressed and I kept him too long. I did release him. He was happy to go.
BTW that cat weighed 10 1/2 lbs. That was one big Tom cat. The female is only 7 lbs. They guessed them both to be
between 1 and 3 years old.
I gave him pet pectin last night and this morning but he is still runny. He exploded all over his blanket last
night. Yuk. Is there a certain diet I should be feeding him? Should I wait to release him til his diarrhea clears up?
Also what is the best time to release him. I was thinking in the...
