Thanks for those that replied ☺Pickwick had his sedative...although he wasn't that sleepy by the time I had to load him in his carrier, so that was a little stressful, but everything else went fine. He was neutered and fully vaccinated and we were able to collect him the same day! The best news...

It was in a pill form. I gave it to him 2 hours before we left but he wasn't that sleepy. I got him in the carrier but it was very stressful! Byvthe time we had got to the vets though, it had kicked in a bit more and eberything went fine! He was vaccinated as well and we were able to collect him...

The towel is a good idea! Thank you. We do have some Feliway as well, so hopefully that will help. I have now decoded that I am going to use the tranquilizer my vet gave us. I think that even if I do get him in the carrier, I really am not sure how he will react in the car, so maybe sedation is...

Thank you so much! It really has been tough and very frustrating at times, but now I am so happy that he has got to this point. I am really looking forward to him starting his new life with us...but I am so worried about tomorrow. I have heard many horror stories about tranquillizers, so I am...

Hello all! Back in October, I posted, regarding a little one eared feral cat, who would come to eat in or garden. We decided to try and bring him in so that he would not have to endure the winter outside (we had already watched his ear shrivel and fall off with frostbite), so we trapped him and...

​Thank you Kat. I am relaxing a bit now. Today I was working in his room, and he had his head upside down at the opening of his bed, watching me with eyes half closed. He looked so comfy. I didn't approach as he would have hissed.....but he did seem more at home! There is no question that we...

I tried bringing in my little Elsa. He used to sit near her when he was outside occasionally. Elsa is very curious about him but he spat at her. I guess he is still not feeling comfortable, but I will keep bringing her for a few minutes at a time. If Pickwick does bond with us, then there is no...

Thanks MsAimee. It is frustrating and I was starting to get worried. Six weeks in and still no progress, but no, he is very quiet and is certainly not looking to run at any point. I was just getting worried about his mental state. Going from roaming free to be confined to a room. You have all...

​Thank you! I really do appreciate you taking the time to offer the advice. I really am just a bit lost with it all! It is good to hear that you have had a similar experience and that patience seems to be the key to the situation. I am sat in Pickwick's (that's what I have named him) room as I...

​Thank you so much for your response and the great advice! I do give him tuna and cat treats, but he won't come out to eat them until I leave. I got Feliway spray, but I have heard great things about the diffuser, so I will try that! Also, thank you for the heads up on the calming treats....I...

Thank you so much! Your reply made me cry! You are so kind and have reassured me. He can of course, take all the time he needs, but I was worried that mentally he is suffering. It is ver cold here now though, and we had our first snow of the year last night, so I was glad that he was in our...

I posted on here a few weeks ago, about the little feral that we trapped and brought indoors. Well six weeks on, and he is still hiding in one of his little houses, and will only come out to eat and toilet, when I have left the room. He has a room all to himself with beds and toys (not that he...
