Hi, I have an update- I took her to get combo tested so she could possibly hang out with my cat and found out she’s already been spayed. No microchip though. The vet is going to post her on all of the lost and found sites, hopefully we can find an owner. Thank you!!!

Hello! I used to feed and TNR ferals but eventually found a foster organization that will take the friendly ones! I found a super friendly cat in my yard and just picked it up and brought it in, no microchip though. The foster place will take her in a couple of weeks. I live alone and have...

We have a lot of ferals around where I live- I fed and TNR’d them in my yard for 9 years and never had a problem. Now after they’ve all aged out and I quit feeding everything this one is coming around just to pick fights and probably isn’t fixed and wants to mate with her. It crosses the...

Hello! I’m hoping you will see this after so long- I was wondering whatever happened in your situation. I have almost the exact situation going on at my house, I have a former feral as a pet that will never be indoor only. She has been terrorized by a cat coming around for almost 6 months...

Those are amazing stories and I’m so happy it worked out for you all! Thank you for taking so much time to write- I still have some thinking to do. ❤️

Wow, I can’t thank you all enough for the help! I’ve been thinking all day. Neko that article was super helpful! It pretty much confirmed what I believe about her. She’s the most feral cat I’ve seen around- most of them over the years get into a routine where they sit down there and wait for...

Hi! She looks amazing, she’s not thin and has shiny black fur. I’m 100% sure she’s fine the rest of the year with no supplementing but I worry so much about winter. I wish there was another neighbor near where she lives that I could ask but they are either elderly, renters or have a dog. I...

Long story short- I’ve been taking care of ferals in my woods for 9 years now, one of them lives with me now. I’m down to just one feral, Ellie, I think she’s related to my cat. Ellie doesn’t come in the summer so I was able to pick up all of the food. Last summer got really bad with the...

Hi! My cat developed hyperthyroidism when he got older. For a couple of years before he was diagnosed, I noticed he was more aggressive than usual, just crabby and kind of swiping at me once in awhile. I later found out that is one of the symptoms. Have the vet test for T4 levels- they...

I think you made the best choice! Hopefully you have a great trip and are not stressed out the whole time, he’ll be in good hands. Take care!

Thank you! I’m leaning towards trying to leave her at home for just a couple of days to start. I‘m not sure I could do a whole week! I know a pet sitter that could come that I would trust but I’m not sure how long she stays. I really just want my cat to have company more than anything. My...

I have the same problem! I’m down to only one cat and I never go anywhere because I feel horrible leaving her alone. I can’t find a decent place near me to board her, I tried a place that was one hour away but they didn’t give updates or pics- they said she’d get a turn in the big playroom by...

I’m not sure if you’d be allowed, but what about hardware wire? It’s like chicken wire but rectangular- I’m not sure how you would attach it to the wall, maybe some kind of heavy duty staple gun? I’m attaching a pic of my catio- I have a small little patio and my dad built the wooden part and...

I agree, I think it would be better to keep him with his family! I know you said you are renting, but maybe there’s a way to make him some kind of catio? My cat is indoor/outdoor and when I bring her inside she has a side patio that has hardware wire all around so it feels like she’s outside...

Thank you AGAIN for the advice! I have been emailing some foster organizations to see if they have any openings, so far the two that responded are full. Maybe after Christmas some people will inquire about him! I’ve always free fed my cats as well and never had a problem, but my current cat...

I have an update for the little kitty I was taming- his name is now Frankie and boy did he come out of his shell! He lets me pick him up now and even started climbing on my lap. He’s getting really attached to me and so wants to be wherever I am, which means he wants OUT of the bedroom he...

3 kittens in a bathroom for 5 months?!!!! You deserve an award! I forgot how crazy these young cats are, I just lost my Henry over the summer and he almost made 20 years. This cat is super fast and can’t even get up to a full run. I never thought of the prey aspect, that makes sense...

Fionasmom, I just wanted to thank you, you’ve been helping me with advice since I started this journey helping ferals! You don’t know how much it means that I have people to go to for advice, everyone thinks I’m just this crazy cat lady that worries too much LOL Ok, I feel like he’s on the...

This is my first attempt at taming a 6 month old feral from my woods so he can be adopted. I found a cat rescue lady that will list him on her rescue site once he’s ready. I hope I’m doing it right- last Monday I trapped and TNR’d him. Two days later I could pet him in his crate but he...

Wow, that catio is amazing!!! Yes, I think the heated beds are enough to keep them from freezing too much. I have one feral that lives with me now and I remember her spending the winter outside- it was zero degrees and she was playing with snowballs! I thought “wow, that cat isn’t suffering...
