    Fear Of Hands

    Oh yes, patience is definitely a must! I make myself look as small as possible and try not to get too close. I want them to be able to run if they get spooked. My one feral is very high strung, and is overwhelmed easily. He will put his ears down, eyes get big, and he will put his paw up like he...

    Fear Of Hands

    Hi All! I posted a few months back about 2 feral kittens I brought in they. They were 4 months old when I got them, so they are about 8 months now. They are doing great! Their tails are starting to go up (and stay up!) when we play, or when they are in their room alone. I have been...

    Taming 5mo Old Kittens

    Hi Everyone! Now that we have had the kittens for about a month and half, I figured I would send an update, and perhaps ask for a little advice. The kittens seem much more relaxed around us, so definitely a plus! No more hissing, shaking, and heavy breathing. They are mostly relaxed in the...

    Taming 5mo Old Kittens

    We had a breakthrough last night! The feisty one (who apparently is the hungriest kitty I've ever seen lately) got up to eat treats I put down while I was sitting there. Big step forward! Usually they wait until I leave before they eat the treats. This one actually got up and walked a few steps...

    Taming 5mo Old Kittens

    That you for the encouragement, everyone! I looked at top load carriers, but many of them did not have good reviews. The vet put on thick gloves and went for the first kitten. As soon as he set it on the scale, off it went into a corner! They seem to be getting back to normal, slowly. I have...

    Taming 5mo Old Kittens

    Thank you, everyone! We had a break through yesterday - they ate their treats in front of me and one of them played for a bit! I pushed two treats over to them with a long wand cat toy and they at them in front of me. I decided to see if I could get them to play with me, and one of them did! I...

    Taming 5mo Old Kittens

    We have tried playing with them. They are intrigued but will not come out of their hidey hole. We can pet them with the end of a long wand and they don’t react. I even tried a laser pointer and they just stared at me. Lol We will try again with the wet food. We tried withholding dry food from...

    Taming 5mo Old Kittens

    Hi Everyone! This is my first post here, and I need some help taming my 2 5mo feral kittens. I have been lurking and reading other posts/articles and have read a lot of good ideas. Just need some feedback on techniques that have worked for you to get Gerald to relax and get comfy with humans...
