    Feral mom/kitten

    The good news is that the wormer is working. She looks so much better so it was probably worms and not cancer but there is no way to know for sure but she is moving around fine, eating and drinking with normal bowel movements. The vet was thinking she something like the corona virus in cats...

    Feral mom/kitten

    The mom is in a room in our home and she is yowling more often and loudly. We're at loss on what to do about her. I'm so sad for her. She seems very stressed and unhappy. If she has cancer, I hate to think about her being alone outside in the cold but on the other hand, I would hate her to...

    Feral mom/kitten

    Thank you! Yes, she has had like 5 litters and she has been eating at our house for the past 4 months but my neighbor also has been feeding her from time to time for years. She is actually very docile. The vet was able to examine her without sedatives. Unfortunately, she has fluid in her...

    Feral mom/kitten

    Thank you! We will have to move the furniture around and try to trap her again. I'm glad that the mama and kitten have been able to naturally drift apart but I feel so bad that the mom cat is so stressed inside. Hopefully we can catch and release her tomorrow. When we trapped her 2 weeks...

    Feral mom/kitten

    Thank you for your reply! Here is an update - we still have the mom and kitten but the mom has been very stressed and trying to escape so we are planning to release her back as soon as possible. The kitten and the mom cat are not as attached anymore as the kitten now sleeps with her brother...

    Feral mom/kitten

    Thank you. The mom is still in shock and will only eat when no one is in the room. The kitten is still hissing and growling but is coming around. Unfortunately, I don't think the mom can be adopted with the kitten. She will need a lot more socialization and she is a crate so she can heal...

    Feral mom/kitten

    Thank you. Sorry about the confusion. Both are in our home. Mom was in a room inside the trap and kitten was in the room free-roaming. Originally, the mom was supposed to recover at my neighbor's house after her spay and my neighbor was going to release her back outside and we were going to...

    Feral mom/kitten

    There is a feral mom cat in my neighborhood and she has 2 litters each year with multiple kittens. We have 3 ourselves and our neighbor has 4. Anyhow, we ended up feeding the feral mama and she had a litter 2 months ago. We caught 1 kitten who we adopted and the mama kept 1 kitten with her...

    what to do after trapping a stray

    Thank you for the advice! It's going better now. He is neutered and so is Rylie since yesterday. We did the scent exchange before letting them meet through the screen. Rylie is so good at communicating to him. She will lay down and then stretch her paw and ask him to play but will also...

    what to do after trapping a stray

    Thank you for all the support! Here is an update. We have found a vet for Rylie and he told me that she's actually younger than we thought. She is 10 months and will be spayed next week. He gave us lots of pamphlets about kittens so we will be reading up on that. We found a screen door in...

    what to do after trapping a stray

    Here is a little update. We named her Rylie and she's doing well. The meowing has stopped completely. She isn't up to playing yet but is eating well and using the litter box. One big update is that my cat entered her room this morning (we are planning to keep her secluded for 2 weeks) as...

    what to do after trapping a stray

    Thank you for all the info! She has not be spayed. Still in the process of finding someone to do the procedure. Our regular vet is booked until Sept so we need to find another vet. Everything is so much better today. Much less "meowing" and she is sleeping more. Some of the sounds she...

    what to do after trapping a stray

    Thank you. I was worried as she didn't pee all day and was wondering if she was meowing because of that. I'm not used to a meowing cat. My cat makes a sound here and there but not like this cat who is constantly meowing and making sounds. She finally peed a huge amount last night in the...
