Wow. That's quite a story! And I thought *I* had it bad. Well, the Humane Society has found a home for my ferals. It's quite a distance away, and unless I get transportation I will never see them again, which breaks my heart. But at least it does not snow where thy are going (it snows a LOT...

Is the kitty fixed? Is is male or female? I believe they can actually get pregnant as early as four months of age! If she went in heat she could be off in search of a mate.

Sierra Wildlife Rescue has loaned me a trap. I have a fairly large kennel I can keep each kitten I trap in. I'll work with them while they are in the kennel. No, they are not touchable at all. Most of the time they still run in terror when I go out to the porch where they are sheltered, but...

The Humane Society in the County I live in provides half a month's food supply, and I suppose that would continue wherever they go. But I don't really feel like this is a safe neighborhood for cats in general, for reasons I won't get into here- so I would actually choose the neighbor situation...

I have not moved yet and I do not know what kind of living arrangements I will have. Probably not a garage. I am on a fixed income and generally have to limit my living arrangements to studios and cabins, etc. I am a tenant, not a property owner. I am leaning toward domesticating the 8 month old...

Most of the neighbors here are dog lovers, but there actually is one neighbor who is a likely candidate to bring the cats to their property near by. However there are two problems with this idea- one is that the property is so close that the cats would probably return to this property. The...

I have thought a one bedroom or a two bedroom to keep them inside as an option. But that would be probably more expensive than I can manage, although if I could, I would make a sacrifice financially for them. But I am beginning to re-consider just trying to domesticate them and adopt them. The...

Yes, it would be okay, especially if the cage is the equivalent of a large dog kennel that can fit a litter box, food and water, and possibly also a kitty carrier where he can sleep inside and perch on top of it. He may not like it at first and may tear things up inside, but I have used these...

Hello. I have a very good land lord, but he has given me more than three month's notice to occupy the cabin I rent so he can remodel it and sell the property. I have been caring for a feral cat family with his full knowledge and permission for about eight months and this was totally unexpected...

This is a very late response because I am new to this site. I had to file a Civil Law Suit to get my cat back. In California it is called a "Claim and Delivery" law suit (some places call it a Replevin law suit). I did not have to post a bond for my cat, but in some cases you can file the claim...

It can definitely be agonizing. After I had one six month old kitten die IN the house (partly because I was preoccupied with thinking about trapping the other ones that were out in the cold with Winter threatening) I now am glad for the ones I can account for in the moment. I count them every...

I have a bonded pair. One is a mama kitty, and I have been helping her raise her babies for almost seven months. The other half of the bonded pair is also one of the father kitties (there are two fathers), who I think is also her sibling. They are both TNR'd. Right now, after a snow storm where...

Yeah, Diplomat cat is really a thing! He was rescued from the wild as a tiny kitten, so he bridges the gap between ferals and domestic life. One of the father cats might be helpful bringing needy cats to food and shelter here, I think.

"I wonder if recycling needs to be stepped up." Very good point. My local recycling center closed down shortly after Covid. I do not drive, but would frequently walk there with a large cat to recycle. Now I cannot and I have about two years of aluminum cans built up. I am on a fixed income, and...

This is a tough job, being concerned for them. But as for procrastinating, well either you do the work, or you worry, and worry can be worse than the work! Besides, good timing is what matters. It's my theory that if you have your monitoring system down to a bit of time in the morning and a bit...

Such an adorable little kitty yours is! However, when I got my cat back, he was never the same. Never the funny little loving nut he once was. He became a grump who would growl and swat my face. He had been scheduled for dental surgery prior to his abduction, so at first I thought it was the...

I think cats do work that way, sometimes, but sometimes not. Give us an update! How are things working out? I rescued my domestic cat Bibbs six or so years ago from the wild, and he is now a diplomat cat (yes, that is a thing) bridging the gap between the ferals who don't completely trust me...

I think this cat is afraid of fire. My domestic cat exhibited a very obvious fear of flea pesticides, and in fact pesticides could kill or seriously injure him. (I no longer use the flea ointment he was so afraid of). I am just thinking these cats can sense the causes of death, and fire is...

I know this is too late, and I hope you found assistance by now. I know that there is emergency help available but I do not have a link. Anyhow, about the phone. I just wanted to mention that there are free internet phone services. Google Voice is probably the best one. You might want to look...

Definitely don't put her out while she is still nursing. It will cause distress for both her and the kittens. The kittens might start crying incessantly in the middle of the night, too. Can you keep her in until they are fully weaned? And even then I would wait for two weeks after. A big part of...
