    Kitty alone in new home

    Not really interested in catnip, but loves the cat mint from the park...makes her more affectionate. Will buy some. The lady changed her mind...she probably didn't want to spend lots of time and efforts with an outside kitty... We are back to Zero.

    Kitty alone in new home

    Thank you, I will do this. We have many obstacles where she is: lots of people, lots of rats... It used to be quiet and decent, now all has changed. She is such a hunter, many times she wouldn't care for food for long hours...

    Kitty alone in new home

    After discussing with the potential adopter, we've agreed on waiting until she comes back, in December. What else could we do?! Again, same problem, how to get Baby into a carrier?! We had this issue previously and she is now very suspicious when cold weather comes...as soon as she sees a...

    Kitty alone in new home

    Yes, I've tried 2 rescue groups, no luck. It is extremely difficult in NYC to find fosters or permanent homes, so many kitties! And priorities given to kittens... Kitties, if no fosters found, stay in cages, mostly. We cannot let Baby stay in a cage... The lady was travelling lots in the past, a...

    You are right about winters getting worse...and more difficult. This is the ONE situation when you don't have a solution...it is very stressful for me and my husband...and for kitty Baby. We live in a big city...in an apartment building...so we have no porch or anything of the kind to provide a...

    Kitty alone in new home

    I still would worry every single minute...knowing her alone...with nobody to comfort her...to pet her and be with her... She has lots of friends in the park...and she has us...we are her family. She sees people, some can pet her...but sadly cannot take her home because they had other...

    Kitty alone in new home

    I I agree with you...the lady will travel quite a lot...she was hoping to have the kitty girl in September...but since she hasn't come to see her and get familiar, we haven't tried anything with Baby...I believe that Baby kitty needs time to adjust, as she is 10...and she is a doll with us, but...

    Kitty alone in new home

    You just read my mind... This is a difficult situation for us and has been for 10 years... We have a parrot, therefore Baby is still outside...otherwise she would have been with us from the beginning. We missed a few occasions because were not able to get her into the carrier. As you said, it...

    Kitty alone in new home

    I've posted previously about our park kitty, she is 10, very beautiful, active, semi wild. We are extremely attached to each other, my husband and I can pick her up, pet, etc. She won't willingly go into a carrier and we've missed already 2 chances to get her into a home. Someone would like to...

    This wonderful girl is 10 years old, I've already posted several things on her life in the park and the problems we had and still have catching her. We found a foster home for her, very nice person, with a few other cats. The big dilemma is that our baby is happy with us, she is very loved and...

    Heat Wave...

    Hi @MissClouseau , Wonderful information, thank you! When it is this hot, Baby won't stay in the carrier... She has a house and a carrier as shelter. The big problem is to catch her! And now the priority is to have her successfully go through this heat wave... The trees provide some shade, but...

    Good morning, I've sent a few messages in the past regarding our wonderful girl from the park. We had a foster and permanent home for her in 2017... sadly our plans on getting her into a carrier have failed ... and no attempt made after this...because of the fostering situation delay. Now it is...

    Just Rescued 2 Ferals... Questions

    Kristin, thank you for keeping my girl in your thoughts! Very cold in NYC...and so many worries. Baby doesn't like many people around, she would run ...since she is so suspicious. I will try with only my husband the crate or the carrier option, with a string. I believe somebody else tried to...
