rehomed 21 ferals in a year? that is astounding! I SO wish I had your talent/magic. I would love my friends to come inside but it just isnt happening. I am at 6 years with these guys and they seem to like the relationship as it is. So be it. Thank you for all you do!

mocrosby is a crazy cat hero! You have an amazing story of love and care. Love it! I have yielded my garage and back deck to my little friends and I'm also happy with that choice.

thanks everyone here! So many great tips. After 2 weeks of the homeopet wrm clear I can literally see her putting on weight. Does not detect it like everything else I tried. THANK YOU. For the fleas I want to try the diatomaceous earth. It is getting colder and 2 of them are back to...

I got the Homeopet wrm clear and she has eaten every bit of her food with the dosage 2 days in a row. The instructions say 14 days of treatment so I'll keep at it. I dont know where she does her business so I won't really know I guess, just trying to get her as healthy as possible with winter...

thanks ipappy and everyone. Just ordered homeopet wrm clear and I will report back the results.

I am sure this has been asked thousands of times. I I did search and can't find the answer I am looking for. I have a few ferals I am feeding and caring for - one of them must have worms - I cant feed her enough but I can't inspect her poop to confirm. I can't get within 6 feet of her and if I...

Good luck! If you have questions I will try to help however I can!

Reading your message I thought a wyze cam would be better because of power limitations but you still might have an issue with wifi - which they depend on. By the way, they also have a solar panel for this cam so you NEVER have to recharge the battery. But those little adapters that go in a light...

thank you - will do! A condensed version!

I am just a molecule compared to the wonderful people doing such great work here. But I want to try to become more of a contributor to pay back all the help I have received. I live in a normal residential neighborhood where people often complain about feral cats. I met one and started...

Since you mentioned focusing on the floor I am adding another video from a cam that is really close up and personal. This is where I tried to set up another living space for Swag and she tested it out. You can see it is a really good cam from a close or far range. In this case, since I had no...

I use Wyze cams. wyze.com Their version 3 model is only about $30 and it is outdoor ready but it does require an AC power source and wifi. They have another outdoor model that is more expensive - about $75. but it has a battery that lasts 6 months. They all have a memory card slot so you can...

Thank you @silent meowlook too! My wife thinks same, she was often breathing this way but I followed advice above 2 yrs ago to not try to trap her again because I agreed that it could have done more harm than good. Over the years we have tried putting worm and flea meds with food but no matter...

thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I read somewhere that feral cats often only live to 2-3 yrs and have felt like I was on borrowed time. Its nice to hear we can beat those odds with care. My heart still aches for Swag and I have kept the window blind closed because I can't stand...

Thank you so much for the replies and condolences. I have come back here to re-read them multiple times over the last couple of days. I can't describe how comforting they have been. Still very sad but whenever I think of her I look through the photos and videos of all the great times we had...

Thank you so much. I'm feeling such sorrow today, its amazing how much this little baby because a part of my everyday life. This is her at my window just a couple nights before. We met this way multiple times a day and she usually slept on this pedestal all night.

Sad announcement. I haven't posted here for 2 years. This feral cat and I became very close but only though a plane of glass. No matter what I tried or how patient I was I could never get close to her physically. I created a very nice environment on my deck and she spent about 80% of everyday...

Update: I still can't get closer than 10 feet or so but she is starting to sort of "air knead" when I am talking to her through the window. Weirdest thing. Almost like it is an involuntary muscle movement. This is just a short clip but it goes on as long as I stay at the window. Her little...

thanks Jcatbird! I am really trying. Would love to give this baby the loving I know she is wanting! #patience. My wife thinks I am a weirdo for doing all this. But she is caretaker for another 4 ferals we keep watch over. We've been looking after this little clowder for about 3 years. 5 ferals...

Havent been back in awhile but here is an update for those interested. Mimicking the same behaviors I got her to come up a few more times and eat while I was on my knees crouched over facing the other direction about 10 ft away. Then she just wouldnt any more. More affectionate than ever...
