Just catching up on all of this. So glad he is safe!

Can you get a humane trap and bait it? When she goes in, cover her immediately and then you could transport her to be spayed.

I know you will eventually get him. How about with a net? And then transferred to trap? Since he is coming yo you for pets, a net may work.

You are doing a great job in such a short amount of time. Nashe will come around with time and patience. I think she is just scared too. I foster feral kittens a lot. I like to take a small blanket, kind of wrap them up like a burrito, and just hold them and talk softly. Just sitting the...

You are his angel! It sounds like he is well cared for. I really would try and find a group that will helpmyountomget him trapped and fixed.nit will be so much better for him. I volunteer with a group that does just that, I am sure someone in your area could help you. Your set up for him...

Lauren, I was tiring not to gush when I posted! I have such a bond with those girls, I just want them to be happy in their new place! I can't imagine how afraid they must have been, and I felt to blame. They had no idea the danger they could have been in, they just know I took them away from...

Last week I posted about my two feral girls in my enclosure, I think a small step has been made and I am so thrilled, yesterday I wanted to put fresh straw in the Feralvilla shelter that they are constantly in. I carefully lifted the lid, talked softly to them as I always do, they both went...

He is just beautiful. I think he was either lost, or sadly left to fend for himself. You are doing everything right, it just takes time and patience. He is a lucky boy,

What a sweetheart! Steady wins the race! You guys are going to be fine. And please don't ever feel badly for taking him in, you saved his life! Life for a feral cat is very hard, it is always a win when they are rescued.

I am just reading this, you are awesome for rescuing this kitten! I really can't think of anything to add, you have been given so much great advice, --patience, harp music- I love the CDs by Diane Schneider, specifically for calming cats, and treats too. I will often boil chicken and break it...

My friend and I were called to trap a savvy female. Of course, her 3 adorable kittens were there so we were determined to get her. She finally went under the drop trap, we had her! As I was getting regular trap for transfer, out pops her head, she broke a hole through the trap! Trying again...

I am so very sorry. Working with ferals is the greatest reward and greatest heartache. I love all of my cats, but the ferals just have such a deeper level. In a world where they don't trust, they have chosen to trust their caretaker. What a privilege! Hercules knows you loved and cared for...

Thank you all! Much appreciated!

Thanks again. I will be patient! The "kitten" of Mia, who I call Olivia actually had a litter of her own. The original caretaker never thought to spay and neuter any of the cats. Mia showed up first, had Olivia and another that did not survive, and it just kept going. All were spayed and...

Thank you all so much for the support and advice. Laurie, I have been feeding the girls for almost two years now. I think Mia was there a few years before I got involved. Her original caretaker said she had quite a few litters. They are used to me but will not let me touch them. They knew...

The enclosure is a former dog run we used to have for our rescued German Sheperd. He was abused and neglected when we got him and built him the dog run so he would never have to be tied up again. We converted in for the cats, making sure the top and bottom were secure. It is located in my...

I have posted many times about a feral colony I inherited a few years ago. I had to relocate the last 2 females, mother and daughter, to an enclosure in my yard. I was forced to move them by a very nasty neighbor. I did not want to just relocate and release to my yard as their previous...

Glad Khol is home safe and sound!

I am so sorry for your loss. Caring for feral colonies and outside cats has much reward and much heartbreak. At least you were able to help him and comfort him. This season in particular the group I volunteer with has seen a very high incident in kitten deaths. It is very sad, but makes our...

Thank you for caring so much about her. I would first and foremost get her spayed. As long as you are providing her with food and shelter, she will be fine. There are so many shelters to choose from. My personal favorite us the Feralvilla shelter. It is great in all kinds of weather. I had to...
