Just brought home a stray cat that I've known for 4+ years. He was very friendly outdoors but has a more timid nature. He's about 5. I've put him in a room so that he'll adapt better. Since then, he has been: - hiding in a way that he doesn't see me when I enter the room - ignoring all treats...

We brought in a feral cat from a town a couple hours north. A very sweet calico that would allow a friend pick her up outside at feeding time. Well, we brought her home and now she is in hiding really well and she won't come out. We have looked high and low, what are other places to check?

Hell everyone, I've a feral rescue "Andy" that can't be handled...surprise. To get medications into him or Gabapentin for sedation to handle him when needed, I use Delectables by Hartz. It is a squeeze tube filled with tuna & salmon puree. He loves it!. I've finished 10 days of antibiotic...

Hello everyone, The day after Christmas, we trapped and brought in a semi-feral young cat who had been coming to our property for 6 months. She's been here in her own room since that time, approximately 4.5 weeks now. She had a regular check up with vaccinations her first week here, and we then...

Hello! I had been feeding a feral cat (now named Lasagna) for about 6 months, he wouldn't let me get closer than about 5 feet, but didn't seem super scared, and not at all aggressive. 3 months ago I trapped him for TNR, and the day I brought him home I found a cat that had been hit by a car 100...

Hello all! we finally got our semi-feral inside two weeks ago. After we caught him, we brought in his outdoor house for comfort. It is sitting on top of our dryer. Kubo's safe spot is between this house and the wall. This means when I come in for socialization time and feeding, he can pretty...

Hi there, we recently became caretakers to an adult neutered male feral. (His rescuer normally does TNR, but he came from a location that he couldn’t be returned to, so he is now acclimating in our backyard garden and nearing release. A few folks here have been kind enough to give us advice...

Hello, I am new to this site so thank you in advance for any help or advice. I was looking for a new adopted cat for my mum who lives in the UK after her previous cat passed away due to a RTA and she was looking for an indoor cat because of this. I saw a cat advertised and asked if it could be...

Hi everyone! I adopted a feral kitten a week ago. This is my first time having a feral cat and I know she needs time to adjust. We were keeping her in the mud room at first and long story short she got into the garage. I put her food, water and litter box in there and she's eating and using the...

Last, July 2016, I trapped 7 of 8 feral cats known to stay in a vacant lot in a small city. They were all spayed neutered, vaccinated and returned by early August. They included 4 kittens, 3 females and one male, but they are all close to adult size now. There was one black male who wasn't part...

Last week we trapped one of the feral kittens that have been living in our yard (there is a 2nd one out there somewhere we're still working on catching) and we have been attempting to tame and socialize it. We don't know it's gender yet (I'm using "her" for now) and we estimate she is between 7...

I have a sweetheart of a mama and six 3-4 week old kittens that have been dumped at my home.  I have a foster to take them all, BUT...we have only captured 4 of the 6 kittens.  I've never seen anything like it, we have tried for, well, this is the 3rd day.  I can't hand them off to the foster...

So the situation is really bad. This cat that roams around the locality, hopping from house to house, died due to some unknown reason in our garden, and then we found a baby kitten in our backyard, behind some old furniture. There's a lot of stuff there and so the kitten has many spots to hide...

Hello,  I recently was given a feral cat that was found in a ski shed. She is quite young. With the previous owner, the cat was comfortable and would interact. However, after the cat coming to our place, all she has done is hide in the basement behind an old desk. It has been about 3 weeks...

I finally moved my about 4 year old feral mamacat into the house, after 2 years of taking care of her in an outbuilding in Minnesota (I had a cubby for her that I heated with heating pads etc).  She is tame in most respects now, after 2 years of work, except I can't really pick her up (but she...

Hi there! This is my first post on this site. 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend and I adopted a cat/kitten from our local animal shelter. Dora is nine months old, and was at the shelter for about a week and a half before we adopted her. Before that she had had no human contact as far as we know. At the...
