    Help, Teddy is missing Wheezie and picking on my Feral Cat Pumpkin

    Hello, I’m hoping that some one can help me. I adopted a feral cat about six months ago (spayed female) (Pumpkin). She has made the under parts of my bed her hiding place and comes out only when I’m in the room alone with her. She’s very friendly to me but is frightened to death of other...

    Long Island NY / Need help socializing

    Building trust with feral kitties is a very slow process. Feed them at the same time each day, sit in the room and speak softly to them. Let them get used to being around you and only then should you introduce them to new people or pets. Handle and pick them up only as much as they will...

    Help! Caught a stray but think it may be feral

    Oh please try to get her to a vet asap. She can't stay in the crate. I took in a feral and she has been basicly living under my bed for the last 2 months. She comes out just to eat and use the litter box (at least while I'm in the room). Two nights ago she allowed me to touch her (first time...

    Pumpkin Update

    Pumpkin has been exploring the bedroom lately, but dashes right back under the bed whenever I enter the room. I knock on the bedroom door before entering so as not to scare her. She was scratching the underneath of the box spring the other night, I think she was feeling contented, and wanted...

    Exercise Caution When Dealing With Ferals

    I hope you're ok. Sometimes if an animal has been outside a long time and is doing well on its own, it may be a good idea to leave well enough alone. You could always leave a bit of food when the cats are not in the area. They'll smell it and come when you're gone. If you do this long...

    Exercise Caution When Dealing With Ferals

    I think that the poor kitty you say attacked you may have been ill with rabies or felt cornered. Ferals aren't known to attack people without cause. I'm sorry you were injured but please let us not scare others into not helping these poor creatures. I have a new feral cat in my home for the...

    Update "Please Help"

    Pumpkin came out from under the bed this morning, first time in a month. (Hurray!) After placing the breakfast dishes down for my two male cats, I walked toward the bedroom to feed Pumpkin (by the bed as I usually do) and I was stunned to see her making her way out to the kitchen area. But...

    Please, Help

    Took in a half feral female cat that I was feeding outdoors for 3 years. She was captured as a kitten, neutered and returned to the community by my homeowners association. She's now 6 1/2 years old. Pumpkin got to know me very well and I was able to pet her and get her into a carrier to take...
