Hi, Even though the owner died, we still have permission through his wife, his son and brother equally share in the ownership. I do have all the paperwork for the cats. I wished we could find homes, been trying for three years, no luck. I was thinking on the line of getting TV or newspaper...

My friend and I have been feeding, a feral cat colony of 19 at a junk yard, with the permission of owner, but he recently died. We have gone there everyday for 3 years. The cats all have been fixed and had shots. They are very healthy and all wait for us and eat together. We have an enclosure...

A suggestion, did you ever think of a net?? I ordered one from the internet and beleive me it works great. Has a tie that when you get them the tie you pull and they can't get out, cover them with a towel and put them into trap. I have used it for really difficult cats and had great luck with...

Thank you all for the great ideas and I think it will give me a chance to see if I can find some willing people just for a couple of days a week, that might work out best. I just feel so responsible, but age and other things are cropping up. I just pray there are some willing cat people out...

Hi, My freind and I have been caring for a group of cats in junk yard, they are safe there. Have done this everyday for 3 years, we had them all spayed and neutered actually 30 in all. Had adopted 8 out, now there are 20 left. The problem is: I have returning breast cancer and am on chemo...

Hi, I feel you are doing all the right things, but you will have to have patients. Go visit and talk to him possibly a couple times a day. But it will take a couple of months, sometimes it might be sooner depending on the cat. I am sure he will be happy to not have to forage for food and...

Hi, I am glad you are feeding and giving them attention. I feed a feral colony of 21. When they are done with wet food and yes they all eat side by side, I put down the hard and they have that probably rest of the day. I had the help of two great gals that trapped and we took them and had...

A good thing that most cats will love is a cat tree, they can climb and has scatching post and also placed by the window can watch the birds or outside chipmonks. They usually have a little bed on top that they can nap in. I have two cats and they love their tree. One thing make sure it is...

Hi, I want to know if there is a cheap but effective way to help prevent fleas on feral cats? I am a care person for 23 ferals, there was 5 more but they were adopted. Praises. I know that the bug season is coming and would like to do something, just not sure if I can. If you can help me...

Hi, I have been feeding a group o feral cats that are living in a junk yard by a trail that my friend and I walk. There are about 17, some are young about 4 or 5 months old. I give them food and water in the morning. I have been calling around trying to get help with trapping to fix and...

Thanks for the help. I know it will take time, I guess I get in hurry to see companionship and peace in my house. The idea of putting the dog blanket by food bowl might help. Good idea. I know I have to be patient. The dog is a calm dog, thank the Lord for that. My basement is large and so...

I have no idea how long this solitary confinement will take. I have two cats and they have put themselves in the cellar. The reason is my mom's dog. She came to live with me and is 92 years young and has a dog that is 12. Will get along with cats, as it has before, just not mine. The...

Thanks all for your help. I think maybe the best would be to keep the dog in my mother's room, even though that will be odd as they are very close to each other and always together. I will have to take the dog for walks, and go through the house. My mother is 92 years old and feisty, and the...

I have a problem coming up. I have two cats, one is 10 the other 9 years. My mother will be coming to stay at my house for 4 months, and she has a dog, small shitzoo. I am at a total lose as to how this will work out, as they have never been around dogs usually hide when they see one outside...

I really don't have just Wellness in mind, and I tried it quite a few times. I just got tired of throwing it away when they didn't eat. Of course I worry about them not eating, don't need anymore problem. They do like the gravy kind, in fact that's probably why they like Friskies. Yes, I...
