Hi!
I am fostering some 3 week old orphan kittens for a rescue in my area. They are my first fosters so young and I seem to be doing well. The woman who found them looked after them for a week but was not able to continue care. I picked them up yesterday.
She was feeding them from a syringe...
Just brought a feral back from the TNR program and put him in the cage. He is crying and crying. Poor little guy has never been alone, I think. He is climbing the cage and meowing a lot. He's quite upset. I feel bad for the little guy but I am not sure what else I can do. I can't let him...
Hi!
I am still quite new to TNR so I have only had a handful of cats done. Lsat night I picked up 2 kittens of about 4 months. A girl and a boy. While they both seem pretty nervous, the boy seems rather lethargic compared to the girl. I have seen him eat but he hasn't come out of the...
Hello!
I have found 3 kittens that are living in a very bad area. They are all rather ill with what I presume to be an upper respiratory infection. They live is a little backyard of a small apartment building that is more like a garbage heap than a yard. The other day I was feeding them and...
Hi!
My little feral has an eye infection but there is no way I can safely touch her yet, let alone put drops in her eyes. I read that sometimes an oral antibiotic can help but the vet said eye drops are the best.
I get that they're the best but they are hard to administer in most cats and...
So my little feral has been squatting in our bathroom for 2 weeks now. She has made some progress in socializing. She now "owns" the bathroom and her 3 spots. She feels just a little playful at about 2:00am...so sometimes I go in so she can chase the laser pointer or play with a wand toy for...
Trapped a 1 year old feral last week and had her TNRd. I decided to keep her to see if she could be socialized. Her brother and mother both found homes so I am hoping that this little one can find one too!
I can't touch her. Last week even putting your hand in the carrier too long would...
Hello!
So - day 2 with my little 1 year old feral. She was sterilized on Thursday afternoon and came home with me that evening. I was wondering if a pro could have a look at what she is doing...the first two points are concerning me a little and I am not sure if it is normal for her...
Hi!
I have FINALLY caught the third of three 1 year old cats that were born around my house (got the mama too!).
The mama turned out to be fairly friendly, although very skittish. I found her a home with a woman who was willing to be patient with her.
The first brother passed away shortly...
First, my first "TNR" cat passed away.
Then crazy neighbour #1 came out to yell at us for trapping the cats and scaring them.
Then crazy neighbour #2 came out to ask us 1,000 questions about what we were doing and repeat 1,000 times "but the cats are happy here" no matter how many times we...
Well, it finally happened!
I help look after a bunch of cats living in an abandoned lot. There are about 7 or 8 regulars, two of which appear to have been TNRd already. We have caught 3 cats so far. Two of which were homed because they were actually quite social! One sadly passed away after...
I posted the other day about a feral cat that I had just had TNRd. He went missing just after I released his. He was found...he passed away during the week. I am crushed. I feel like I did this to him.
Hi,
I have been worrying about a cat that I released about a week ago. I was considering keeping him to socialize and then decided to let him go so I could TNR the rest of the colony first. Then I could work on socializing the ones I thought had some potential.
I haven't seen him since! I...
Hi!
After you have TNRd a cat, is it likely you will ever be able to trap it again? I want to take in a feral cat from my colony but I will only be able to do so after I TNR the rest of them. I had to let him go for because I don't have enough room or time to socialize him while I am putting...
Hello!
I just began trapping cats for the neighbourhood TNR program. There are about 10-12 cats living in an abandoned yard so I figured it was time to get them fixed. There are three 8 month old "kittens" and the rest are older cats.
Yesterday I went out and trapped one of the kittens. A...
