Hi all, I am terribly worried about my 5.5 month old kitten. Cersei was a rescue from a cat hoarder, so she spent the first 2 months of her life exposed to who knows what in crowded unsanitary conditions. She was doing very well, tested FIV/FeLV negative, got all her vaccines. In the past few...

Oh yes and she plays way more gentle so the scratching situation is much better. I can pet her tummy, hold her, everything!! Shes basically a normal cat except she’ll never show herself to strangers.

Just old age, she’s been eating less, losing weight, sleeping more. She doesn’t appear to be uncomfortable so that’s good, so I don’t force food on her- some days she’ll eat, some days she won’t.

My poor Mrs Boo, at the ripe age of 17, has been slowly going downhill :( she is still with me but not for much longer I don’t think. She still growls when other cats come near her (the other cat in the pic is a foster) but she just doesn’t have the energy to aggressively fight like she used to...

Hi all, I haven’t post in quite a while but I wanted to update you. Beaker the “feral” cat, who I caught after feeding her outside for 10 months with the intent of TNR, is now a loyal, loving, playful indoor cat who has found her forever home- mine ❤️ She still hides from any visitors who come...

Haha whoops! Here is a pic from the very first time I saw her 10 months ago. I do remember thinking she was very pretty but I am so bad at breeds :) it would be cool if she was part bengal, I have a friend with 2 bengal cats and they are just stunning. They almost look like leopards!

Haha right? I fed her outside for 10 months before finally catching her so I was so sure she was feral. I now always refer to her as my #fakeferal. Imposter!! I tell her you know, if you wanted to come inside so badly, you could have told me 10 months ago!

Hmmmm you are the second person to think she might have some bengal in her! I've been massaging her paws so she gets used to that, perhaps today I'll try introducing the clippers but not actually clipping yet and see how that goes. I hope I can find her a new family she will accept, otherwise...

Thanks stefanz, I have a feeling that even in the perfect home she will revert to her day one behavior and her forever home will have to work with her as diligently as I am. I'm hopeful that it will go faster though since she will know at least one human has shown her kindness! But it does limit...

Oh my goodness you guys. This morning I went in Beaker's bedroom with breakfast, like I've done every day for the past 18 days since she officially became my #fakeferal. This morning instead of making a beeline for her food like she always does, she made a beeline for ME. The past couple days...

Omg these pics are killing me with cuteness! Meet my newest cat, Beaker. I trapped her outside to TNR her less than 3 weeks ago but needless to say after you look at this pic..... yeah, I don't think she's feral, LOL. Not a lot of petting yet but she is forever showing her belly! Also, meet my...

Pot holders are a great idea! She was more lovey than usual this evening so I feel bad when she tries to express that via kneading and I'm like no thanks, that hurts haha. But she definitely let me pet her head and cheeks longer than normal, accompanied by some loud purring. I am definitely...

Yeah you're right. I really wish Mrs Boo would be okay with other cats because I would totally keep beaker forever. But I should look on the bright side that she only gets super agitated by seeing other cats, not by smells!

Rubysmama, Mrs Boo is such a strange cat. She really does not react to the smells because I've had cats temporarily shut in that room before, but the second she visually sees any other cat she goes absolutely nuts!!

Well, today was interesting! Beaker the fake feral is doing well- still not interested in being touched except for very occasional head scratches but hiding a lot less, coming up very close to me a lot more, playful as ever (this cat seriously loves toys). My sister and brother in law came over...
