I am so sorry for your loss. Your post and the responses to it touched me and made me cry for you, and for myself, as I remembered the hurt I felt after I lost cats that were hit by cars. Thank you for showing your sweet cat love and care while she was in this world. I know you made her life...

I realize it’s been a few weeks since this was posted but I am curious to know how are things going with Pumpkin being inside? Hopefully he is getting more settled by now. Shadowrescue mentioned the gabapentin for the car trip, and I do know that can also be used to help a stressed out cat...

Thanks for helping these cats. Would you be able to put your dog in a room or area where it can’t get out, preferably where the dog and cats couldn’t see each other, for an hour or other short amount of time? Or is your yard set up so your dog could be out there unattended for a bit? Then you...

Do you feed your ferals at a particular time of day? Do you feed them once or twice a day? And are you feeding them wet food or dry food or both? I have a wasp problem at my house where I feed two ferals. Wasps are important pollinators so I do what I can to manage the situation without killing...

He already looks like he’s living it up! Thank you so much for giving him the sweet life. ♥️

cdibs your post brightened my night. There’s nothing I love more than seeing someone who’s “not a cat person” fall in love with a cat. And thank you so much for being there for this cat and wanting to take him in! He’s adorable and very unique - I’ve never seen a cat with his markings before...

Hi. Thank you for wanting to help this injured cat. Is there a local humane society or no-kill animal shelter in your area that you could contact to see if they would take the cat in? I’m also concerned that attempting to catch a cat with a net could be difficult and stressful, for both you and...

Inaba Churu - Cat Treats (4-Pack) Thank you so much for helping this cat! Have you tried Churu treats or any other particularly enticing treats? What I like about Churu is that since it’s like a push-up pop you can hold the package out at a distance from your body so they can enjoy the treat...

I’m so sorry to hear of this devastating loss. Our ferals touch us in an extra special way and I know how painful it is to lose one. I too hate how hard the world is for ferals. Hang in there. ♥️

I assume you’ve tried putting very stink food like salmon, tuna or sardines in the trap? For me even that wouldn’t work with my feral. A drop trap was the only way I was able to capture my difficult to trap ferals who would not go into live traps. Do you have access to a drop trap, or the...

I vote to take him. I wonder about this scenario myself as I’m in a similar situation with my feral cats (who sound much more feral than Meatwad) and have been stressing out over how to transition them when I move in the next few years (hopefully they’ll be more tame when the time comes). It...

It sounds like you’ve made excellent progress already! Have you tried feeding her Churu sticks as treats? Inaba Churu - Cat Treats (4-Pack) I made good progress with an unsocialized cat who wouldn’t let me touch him - I was able to get him to eat the Churu treats from my hand - it’s sort of...

They’re so cute! Congrats on getting them - I know how stressful it is trying to catch unsocialized cats. It will be so much easier to work with them in the bathroom.

Thank you so much for putting in all this effort for him. I’ve fostered a kitten who had a leg that was amputated right before I got her, and also had a long term resident cat who had his leg and tail amputated as a kitten due to an injury (I did not have him as a kitten though). The tripod...

I’ve only ever brought ferals in from the outside after they were injured and in both instances was able to socialize them. One of them, Ernie, had spent the first 19 years of his life outside and seemed completely feral, even hissing at me often when I would put out his food in the morning. I...

Thank you for caring for this guy. Is there a Humane Society or no-kill shelter near you that you could contact to see if you could surrender him to? You can verify when you speak with them what kind of vet care they will provide to surrendered animals and what there euthanasia policy is for...

Hello. Thank you for taking in these cats. I’m not an expert, but I’ve seen people attempting to socialize feral kittens by putting them in a very large kennel (big enough for them to play, eat and use a litter box). I have a friend doing this right now with kittens from a large feral colony and...

Hello, This is my first post here. I too am in a similar situation to you, which made me think maybe your cat didn't realize the pellets that you put out for her previously were litter? It sounds like you could start out with clay litter, or dirt or something more similar to dirt, and if you...
