    Abandoned Cat ("Neigborhood Pet") Ethics on Adoption?

    The neighbor who took in her sister doesn't feed the cats. The one who feeds the cats does TNR 🤷‍♀️ idk Ha I'll try to get a pic 🤣 Feeling kind of weird about this. She came in and hung out with us for a while and even sat in my lap on the couch. But at one point my dog LUNGED at her and I had...

    Abandoned Cat ("Neigborhood Pet") Ethics on Adoption?

    Honestly don't know if it's a female or a neutered male! Someone on here mentioned that she was most likely male... and it depends on which neighbor's story about her is true. If she was a house cat she's likely been neutered by her previous owners and could be male or female. If she's always...

    Abandoned Cat ("Neigborhood Pet") Ethics on Adoption?

    Okay, I'm super committed now. Just scheduled a spay/neuter/well check/vaccine appointment with a local charity vet thing! Even if this all fails she'll at least be in better shape. Maybe I'll try our bedroom, or the oldest sons bedroom. She seems to gravitate towards him and in fact she tried...

    Abandoned Cat ("Neigborhood Pet") Ethics on Adoption?

    Thank you everyone! Great advice here. I'm feeling more encouraged for sure. I think I can put her in our laundry room (used to be my old cats "room" with food water and litterbox.. only problem is it has the back door where I let the dog out multiple times a day. I can't really think of another...

    Abandoned Cat ("Neigborhood Pet") Ethics on Adoption?

    Sorry to revive an old post. Turns out the cat I was seeing on my camera was not mine, but a feral male. I havent seen my cat with my own eyes since around Christmas, although occasionally a neighbor will call and say she saw her 😥 at this point I've accepted she isn't coming home. As far as...

    Neighbor hasn't been seeing her. She was staying around another neighbor who feeds cats and they're trying to befriend her too but it's not going well. It's funny this neighbor leaves food out 24/7 but she's coming home for food. She was on a special diet and I've been leaving her food out. She...

    Ugh I really don't know what to do! She has started coming to our house at night for food. She went into the trap once but didnt walk far enough back to trigger it. Since then she has been acting like the trap doesn't exist, even though its chock full of food. I keep a bowl with a few nibbles of...

    Abandoned Cat ("Neigborhood Pet") Ethics on Adoption?

    Soo I kind of just decided to stop putting food outside the trap for a couple of days. Ginger has plenty of sources of food in the neighborhood, and knows better to go in the trap since shes gotten caught a few times. Actually she has stopped by for a few minutes to look for food and then leaves...

    Abandoned Cat ("Neigborhood Pet") Ethics on Adoption?

    So my cat has been missing for over a month. In the process of trying to find her I've gotten well acquainted with all the cats in the neighborhood, and especially one super sweet kitty named Ginger. She was a house cat, but 9 years ago her owners sold their house and left her here 😡😥 I'm new...

    Welp, no dice. I haven't seen her since those pictures. She hasn't come to the door again. I *might* have seen her last night. Our "back door neighbor" has a black cat, but last night after dark we were walking past their house and saw a black cat on their porch that seemed very comfortable on...

    Ha I have definitely got my hopes up!! Our dog will only tolerate being locked away in another room for so long before he starts getting loud 😬 but if she waits until 3 am again this morning then he'll be asleep anyways and won't care. Unfortunately I'll still have to stay up all night because...

    Kitty in the wild...

    By "old stomping grounds" I just mean the place where she took up residence when she ran away. It's an area of about 2 blocks where we've seen her several times a week since she's run off. We're almost guaranteed to see her in this area at about 6pm every day. Strangely enough, when she first...

    I suppose she's covering a pretty large area!!! Yesterday we saw her almost 4 blocks away at her old stomping grounds.. tried to approach her and she bolted. Then I woke up to this on our motion camera. She came to visit at 2:45 AM! I think she may have visited the night before, too, but I had...

    Another update! She apparently decided to eat dinner with us, because while we were eating dinner last night, all the food in the bowl on the front porch disappeared. My dog had been huffing while we were eating dinner, and was acting insane, begging to go out and then just standing there...

    An update.... last Sunday night I was following her around and she ran off towards the main road.. with lots of tears I gave up and went home, and then didn't see her once until last night. I had thought something had happened to her. She wasn't leisurely roaming the neighborhood anymore, and...

    Like 90% sure. I'm chasing a cat that the cat feeding neighbor had never seen until after mine ran away. Same color, same size. There are several black cats in my neighborhood but they either have collars and/or are skinny strays. The thought crossed my mind... the only especially unique feature...

    Thanks for all the tips! I'll swing by and pick the calming chew out of her food. Just went by and the food had been nibbled on but the chew was still in there. Sitting in front of the crawlspace for half an hour did nothing, other than seeing her when I first got there I had no sign that she...

    Got a babysitter for half an hour, sitting in front of the crawlspace now armed with treats and toys, I see her walking around in there and hopefully she'll come out soon. She hasn't eaten any more food though (meaning she hasn't had a calming chew yet either)

    No she's never been one to run away! At our old house we had a screened in porch that we left open and even then she would only peek her head out once every couple of months. The first week we moved in she got out and then immediately screamed at the door til we let her back in.. I'm getting my...
