Thanks everybody who read and replied. His name is Lorrie. When we used to see him coming out of the woods, surrounded by trees, and with a big whisker-mustache, we used to call him The Lorax. It eventually got shortened to Lorre (pronounced Lorrie), like the classic movie actor Peter Lorre...

Thank you for all that you do! I am totally in love with him. I just wish I had been less afraid and scooped him up sooner. I will make up for it with lots of kitty spoiling.

Thank you, Maggiedemi! That is so sweet. I am one happy Cat Lady today!

Walli, I fed him for a long time, over a year. We have a barn which is always accessible and he was finding shelter in there. He was terrified of people, but he would come up to the porch to eat. I was not able to touch him or really even look at him without him running away. I made him an...

Thanks! I have never owned a cat who wasn't a stray, but this one was a different kind of challenge. It has been challenging and incredibly rewarding. Every time I see him curled up in a warm place (like in front of the fireplace) I think about the fact that this is what I dreamed and wished for...

Thank you. I adore him! I am just so happy and I wanted to share. I remember being so consumed with worry a couple months ago and I was here reading all the time! Hopefully, a happy ending will help someone who is also feeling overwhelmed with concerns.

It was a long road and I experienced a lot of anxiety and worry as I made this journey. As it turns out, many of my fears were in vain. My former feral is neutered and his respiratory and eye infections are cleared. He uses his litter box like a champ. Turns out, he's a lap cat, my very first...

Thanks Trudy! I hope so. He's shown great intelligence and adaptability so far, so I am optimistic. I will definitely come here when I need guidance or encouragement.

They will neuter him in two weeks. Right now he has an upper respiratory infection and an infection in his eyes. He received an injection of antibiotics which will slowly release into his system. I will also be giving him eye drops on a daily basis. They gave him de-worming meds. In two weeks...

It went great! He behaved beautifully. He was completely silent in the car, both ways. He cooperated with the vets and seemed to actually like them. He does not have any of the bad cat diseases. I found out that he is 8 years old and most of his teeth are missing or broken, poor little guy...

Thanks! I am gearing up to go right now. I appreciate the advice. Sometimes I get anxious about things and it helps to talk to people who have traveled this road. This cat has lived in the forest for years. He was never really friendly to me until I built him a shelter on my porch. After that...

Hello! I have at least partially socialized a feral cat. I am finally comfortable touching, petting and picking him up. It is time to take him to the vet. There is a very good practice that will provide me with a free exam and discounted services since he is a rescue. I have read that the vet is...

I will contact our local feral cat society. Maybe they can loan me a trap. Thank you for the encouragement and advice.

Hi! I have been caring for a cat on my rural Michigan property for about 2 or 3 years now. I believe he was born outdoors and has lived outdoors his whole life. I don't believe he has ever lived inside a home with people. It has taken me years to build a relationship with him. I am happy to say...
