    Bringing a Feral Cat Inside

    This is me and "Fluff" enjoying the morning on my screened in porch. Fluff was a member of a small feral colony that lived in a wooded ravine. I fed them for over 10 years and was never able to touch any of them. When we were preparing to move out of town about 2 years ago I decided to bring...

    Could use some input on releasing a 10 week old kitten

    I have to chuckle Fionasmom. I have a failure too. A black female 6 week old kitten I fostered 12 years ago. I was sure a 6 week old kitten could be turned around. I worked constantly with her. No luck. Ended up keeping her as she was unadoptable. Here we are 12 years later and she still...

    How to proceed?

    As outdoor locations go this one is fairly safe. The winters here in NW Ohio can be pretty brutal. I appreciate your thoughts. I will continue to ponder this situation. I wonder if the colony cats will remember Fluffy after months of separation?

    How to proceed?

    They're in a wooded ravine a few miles from my home. When they come up to eat they are usually together and I've seen them lying together in the shade on some of these hot days. Before I got involved about 9 years ago there was an elderly gentlemen who had been feeding for a number of years...

    How to proceed?

    Oh no, I would never leave them behind. We'll be moving in the spring and I'll be taking all cats with me. At the new house we will have a cat room with a catio for the colony cats. Until then I continue feeding. My dilemma is about bringing a 2nd colony cat to my current home. Sorry for...

    How to proceed?

    I have 2 cats, Callie a 13+ yr old lap cat and Black a 12 yr old whose pretty much feral. For many years I've been caring for a colony of ferals. The colony was down to 3 cats. We'll be relocating to a different city in the spring and I plan on taking the colony cats with me. We are building...

    Took In Two 1 Yr Old Ferals

    Thank you, Mike, for this thread. About 3 months ago I took in an older feral "Fluffy." Your posts and all the replies have been extremely helpful and encouraging to me.
