    Feral Cat

    Thank you for responding. I was able to catch him, and put him a cage for a week in our family room. My dogs were not very nice though. My one dog loves cats and is protective but my daughters dog is not the same. I put him in our family room for a week, to get used to people and animals. When...

    Feral Cat

    I have a very thick Mexican blanket thinking for protection with my daughter helping me to hold him down, but is very scary. And use thick leather gloves and some type of face protection. I have to do something at this point. The vet are so backed up and could take several weeks to get him in.

    This is an update. Roger still hides but if I catch him running to his hiding spot, he does stop and listen to me talk to him. Well, a week ago I had workers in the room, and this must have freaked him out. He stopped eating his food or even coming out of his hiding spot at all. I got a...

    Roger hides from me still. I know where he is hiding during the day, in a shelf very high, he must be a great jumper. My game cam shows he comes out at night eating using the litter box and running around. He even has jumped up on the window ceil and knocked down stuff. He did also reach up...

    I set up a game cam outside and was able to capture my missing cat. You can even see her clipped ear. She is still alive. I can not believe it. Have several recently pictures of her. I just don't understand why she isn't going into the room where her food is anymore? What possible changed...

    The pipes go into the wall, servicing our well and pool. nothing that is dangerous, garden tools, canning stuff, etc.. There is an open hole on the floor for backflow water, so I guess a cat could fall in but would be able to get out. The ceiling is sealed no openings. Just alot of stuff in...

    The room has storage shelves all the way to the ceiling as well as cubards that have an opening in the back. Also pipes etc in other areas. This closing off is not feasible. We store all sorts of stuff out there for our house. Nothing dangerous. The last feral knocked things down but did...

    Gosh I am truly struggling what to do. I just checked the game cam and there is a very fat cat on the photo not the cat I was hopping to see. That is all grey. This didn't help me at all what to do.

The first two cats, one was not feral but appeared to have issues from the tumor removed from his head, not sure why they selected him for me, lasted about three weeks, then gone. The second cat a female that is currently been missing was...

    My Sweet Flapjack Is Gone Now

    I can't imagine how shocking to find him in such a horrible situation of bleeding at his end of life. Not sure why he is bleeding but I think he had more issues going on. Give him lots of love and my prayers are with you during this time. Not easy. This could be a hard passing for him, be...
