You are doing a great job in such a short amount of time. Nashe will come around with time and patience.
I think she is just scared too. I foster feral kittens a lot. I like to take a small blanket, kind of wrap them up like a burrito, and just hold them and talk softly. Just sitting the...
You are his angel! It sounds like he is well cared for. I really would try and find a group that will helpmyountomget him trapped and fixed.nit will be so much better for him.
I volunteer with a group that does just that, I am sure someone in your area could help you. Your set up for him...
Lauren, I was tiring not to gush when I posted! I have such a bond with those girls, I just want them to be happy in their new place! I can't imagine how afraid they must have been, and I felt to blame. They had no idea the danger they could have been in, they just know I took them away from...
Last week I posted about my two feral girls in my enclosure, I think a small step has been made and I am so thrilled, yesterday I wanted to put fresh straw in the Feralvilla shelter that they are constantly in. I carefully lifted the lid, talked softly to them as I always do, they both went...
He is just beautiful. I think he was either lost, or sadly left to fend for himself. You are doing everything right, it just takes time and patience. He is a lucky boy,
What a sweetheart! Steady wins the race! You guys are going to be fine. And please don't ever feel badly for taking him in, you saved his life! Life for a feral cat is very hard, it is always a win when they are rescued.
I am just reading this, you are awesome for rescuing this kitten! I really can't think of anything to add, you have been given so much great advice, --patience, harp music- I love the CDs by Diane Schneider, specifically for calming cats, and treats too. I will often boil chicken and break it...
My friend and I were called to trap a savvy female. Of course, her 3 adorable kittens were there so we were determined to get her. She finally went under the drop trap, we had her! As I was getting regular trap for transfer, out pops her head, she broke a hole through the trap! Trying again...
I am so very sorry. Working with ferals is the greatest reward and greatest heartache. I love all of my cats, but the ferals just have such a deeper level. In a world where they don't trust, they have chosen to trust their caretaker. What a privilege! Hercules knows you loved and cared for...
Thanks again. I will be patient! The "kitten" of Mia, who I call Olivia actually had a litter of her own. The original caretaker never thought to spay and neuter any of the cats. Mia showed up first, had Olivia and another that did not survive, and it just kept going. All were spayed and...
Thank you all so much for the support and advice. Laurie, I have been feeding the girls for almost two years now. I think Mia was there a few years before I got involved. Her original caretaker said she had quite a few litters. They are used to me but will not let me touch them. They knew...
