    Advice On How To Introduce A 2nd Person To Feral......

    For those who don't know, I forgot to clarify....hunger in a feral cat's mind stays with them even when they are well fed.....When as a kitten or young cat a kitty is feral, they are starving surviving on whatever hunting skills they have managed to figure out or scrounging around trash and back...

    Advice On How To Introduce A 2nd Person To Feral......

    Hello everyone, thanks in advance for any advice you can offer......I recently trapped a small tigerstriped male for TNR and thought that he was young enough that I could socialize him so I kept him in my garage and starting working with him. He proved to be smart, affectionate, engaging and...

    Oh Goodness, Please Help Me With This Feral Kitten....

    Thanks for all of your advice, we had a breakthough! I watch a few vidoes someone had posted on how to tame feral kittens and the key was food....baby food!

    Oh Goodness, Please Help Me With This Feral Kitten....

    I need more than that, he won't curl up anywhere except in a corner, refusing a bed, box towel......it's cold concrete out there! I think he is about 3 months old, so not a tiny kitten. I want to know if I should leave him alone and just continue to feed him or should I get pushy? He seems...

    introducing a stray/semi-feral to a indoor cats household

    Hi there, I am by no means an expert ands really relied on the other members, but here is my two cents worth. When I brought Romeo in, he knew the outside and gradually over months would come into our screened porch. When I eventually caught him and took him to the vet, it was at that moment his...

    introducing a stray/semi-feral to a indoor cats household

    Update on Romeo...Dora May, just give them time....they will sort it out......maybe not the way you wished but you are providing them options, more so then most folks. Romeo has been in the house officially 8 months! And he has grown leaps and bounds (literally...he has a round belly)! He is...

    How do I stop Ziti from focusing on the new Feral cat? and an Update on bringing Romeo inside

    Yes to all those things, Felaway, snacks by the door, play distracted by the wand toy....one huge problem is Ziti is not food motivate...doesn't care for snacks, treats, tuna or chicken, just kibble. So the feeding introduction has panned out. I have tried the 10 second sniffs at the door...

    introducing a stray/semi-feral to a indoor cats household

    Thanks again for sharing! I feel better, and Romeo had a great day today. After the terrible beginning of trying to get him into the carrier to get him to the Vet he must have wanted to come in, he is just so gentle and sweet! So I am going to follow your lead and give him a few more weeks of...
