I love Dinah’s story. I literally cried reading through your journey together. You have saved her life and you will never regret it. Although the process of becoming a loving house cat is slow, she has made amazing progress. Every sign points to her future as your best and most devoted...

Thank you for your really helpful response! This really makes sense. I took him to the vet immediately and he was neutered, vaccinated, and treated for ear mites which were so bad he had clawed the backs of his ears to the point of bleeding. He has made himself at home now, still an outside...

A stray/semi-feral cat that I trapped recently (now named Rusty) has several severe injuries that have healed. His abdomen has two 4-inch long scars running along it. The scars are about 1/2" wide and have no fur. He also has long scars on his neck. His face is disfigured with part of his...

I would say you definitely need a drop trap, one that sits up like a wire box propped up on one side, and you pull the support out from under it when the cat goes under it to eat. The cat never even suspects it's a trap. You can buy these online. I've trapped many stray/feral cats using this...

Thank you for asking about sweet little Sammy. I am thrilled with his new life. After 4 years as a semi-feral/stray, losing an eye as a kitten, being almost killed by a dog, he has found a home with my daughter. As I reported, he spent the first 3 weeks mostly hiding but gradually started...

Thank you so much. This badge represents a journey of love to me!

Hello. My story is not unique in any way. We had an apartment complex (now demolished) a block from my house and when tenants were forced to leave several left behind their cats (don't get me started!!). Within a couple of years our neighborhood was overrun with cats and kittens, and wandering...

That's so nice. I know you love to see them. And don't tell these 3 that they are feral/stray!!

Thank you!. And they give us more than we give them. They are wonderful. Who knew?? Ha!!!

Thank you for saying that. It is very rewarding to help these beautiful creatures.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that losing a pet is losing a part of your heart, and everyone here knows how that feels. Both you and your Babymonkey were lucky to find each other and have those years together. Try to remember him with joy for the happiness he brought to you and you to...

I agree that if he continues to show no appetite a visit to the vet is in order. One thing for sure, cats take a long time to adjust to any change. As for feeding two cats, I feed six and some would love to eat a small amount and return frequently for more, but others would eat the food if...

Sammy is still in one room after 3 weeks, but he eats and drinks like a champ and comes out when my daughter enters the room. She plans to allow him out of his room when he seems completely comfortable with the room and her, and seems to want to explore further. He has several beds, food...

What a happy, wonderful story! I love reading this!

:lol: So true!!!

With the wonderful help of everyone on this site, I have been going through the process of bringing a male outside cat indoors. The main thing I've learned is to not rush anything. Let him become the master of his new room. He needs to be comfortable and trusting in that space before he...

Thank you so much for your guidance. This site has been a godsend. I have worked a lot with trapping feral/strays and getting them total vet care, but having a pet cat is a completely new experience. After being a 100% dog person my entire life, I cannot believe the joy I denied myself by not...

New question about Sammy. He is adjusting slowly to his new home in Florida and definitely making progress every day. He has been with my daughter for 11 days and he is now eating and drinking regularly. I took one of my shirts to her house, put it under the desk. He sleeps on it always. I...

Thank you. We are following the plan you outlined. Today was a good day. He and I cuddled. He is eating more and drinking more. Today I feel much better about him. He’s going to make it. Thank you!!
