    Reintroducing feral (now tamed) cats to my feral colony

    Hi there! Thank you so much for your response - it totally put me at ease and I am pleased to say we have had 2 very good 'play sessions' so far with the ferals and my boys. They are all very calm with each other and lots of head bopping! It has gone so, so well. Thank you again!!!

    Escaped feral kitten

    A huge huge huge thank you to all of you - he has appeared! To say I am relieved is an understatement. He actually sauntered through the back door and hissed at me on his way through. I of course was in tears, he really doesn't seem at all bothered. Went straight to his food bowl then fell...
