I came online hoping I could find an answer to my feral's issue and found this post. I know the solution is taking him to the vet but I have no income. Blackie is feral - no touch is welcome. I only see him occassionaly so it is hard to keep up with him. He came up to eat Thursday and I...

I have feral cat that hangs here at my house. I feed him and he lets me pet him a little but that's about it. He came up yesterday with a very swollen paw (double the size of his other paw) and I was wondering what I could do for him? I don't have the money to take him to the vet. I'm not sure...

I will be returning to full time work next week (after not working for six years) and am worried about my cat. She's about 7 years old and was a stray here before I got her to come in. BW and I have been the only two in this house for those 6 years. She is very attached (as am I ) and I am...

I have a stray/feral that comes up to eat once a day.  Last week I noticed he was holding up his right leg and couldn't put any pressure on it.  I read through the advice and most people said to wait, that there wasn't much a vet could do.  That cats heal pretty quickly.  Today is the first time...

I have been out of work for about 6 years caring for family members.  During that time I had a stray decide that I was her new home.  We have been happy together (just me and her)  for about six years now.  My reason for writing is to ask for suggestions.  I am currently looking to go back to...

I have a question for those of you who care for feral colonies.  I feed about 8 or so feral cats that come up for food plus 2 that hang out around my house and aren't quite so feral.  I don't see the ferals very often, maybe a glance every now and then.  I place food out three times a day (wet...

I have a stray that has been living inside for about 3 years. She is skittish and fearful but we have developed a bond and I think she trusts me. I had her spayed two weeks ago and her behavior since has been very strange. First off, I found out that she was already spayed (obviously she got...

There is a cat that hangs out down the street.  I have been unable to decide if she just stays at that house or if they are her parents.  Two female cats live there and both have recently had kittens.  One of the cats comes down the street to my house twice a day for food - sometimes more.  I...

I have a neighborhood cat that I've been feeding for about a month.  I see her every morning and sometimes in the evening.  When she first started coming up she was pregnant but somewhere in there she had kittens.  She doesn't live around my house but lives about a block down the street...

I lost a feral cat yesterday that I called Princess.   She was a princess in every way.  Loved to groom herself and would bump heads with all the males that came up.  All she wanted was them to be her friend.  I'm going to miss her even though she was a feral and we weren't really close.   These...

I am at my wits end with my scardy cat and am just not sure what to do any more!  I follow Jackson Galaxy and have tried various things he recommends and nothing is working!  I come on here occasionally to try and find answers to some of my questions.   My cat, BW, is about 5-6 years old.  Not...

I will be going out of town for a couple of days (Wednesday night to Saturday morning) for the holidays and can't decide what to do about my semi-feral cat.  She is pretty much an indoor cat now but still likes to go outside in the mornings and late evenings.  My question is whether I should...

I applied a dose of cheristin to my feral cat this evening (she will let me pet her but that's about it).   Right after I applied the dose it started raining and she got wet.  Will the medicine still be on her or have I lost that dose?  She really needs something for the fleas that are eating...

I have a feral cat that hangs out here at my house (generally under the house).   She was pregnant but suddenly no longer seemed pregnant.  Friday (this is Monday) she had a kitten (Just 1, I think).  The kitten is under my house and I cannot get to her.  Friday her meowing was audible but today...
