    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    Thank you @catwoman707! Very helpful advice. I did postpone the trapping today and will set it back again first thing in the morning. I just hope they don't show up together again. I wasn't able to clean the cages or get tuna today so if they don't fall for the trap in the morning, I'm going to...

    Wow, ok you really convinced me. I really need to get them micro-chipped! Harley has her next vet appt next month so hopefully I can get it done for her. Oz too is still scared of other humans, he's just starting to be more comfortable with my daughter now. But when anyone visits he stays...

    DC Feral/Stray Cat

    Hi @ChargingRhino, I came across your thread and it clicked in my head that you were one of the members that replied to a thread I started awhile back in January. I was the one who brought in a stray cat before the blizzard just like you...and went through a mess of a situation. I'm so happy to...

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    Thanks @Molly92, I did just that. Fat Cat looks really bad so I was desperate to trap him as soon as I can but I am just going to have to postpone it. It might take longer to trap him, I placed the food inside and he didn't budge. So I placed the food right at the opening of the trap and he...

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    @catwoman707 I'm so sorry about Buddy and thank you for sharing your story about him. I am very admirable and appreciative with rescue workers such as yourself, I just rescued my first stray cat and all that emotional stress it took me to do it was tough (but rewarding!) so hats off to you and...

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    Hi there, I'm in the process of trapping Grey and Fat Cat.  The TNR group dropped the traps off to me on Sunday. I'm ready to trap both today. When my husband left for work an hour ago, Fat Cat was already at the porch waiting for food. I went to prepare the food to set it in the trap and just...

    Thank you @catwoman707! Your advice on reaching out to them until they answer helped push me to get this result.  I will be sure to post any updates. Praying that all goes well...

    Congrats on your 5 week anniversary as an indoor cat Orville!...& to his mommy! Aw, I love how he is slowly but surely being accepted by the other two. So I guess it will be Chaucer sitting at the very top of the cat tree? The seat for the alpha cat! Chaucer sure is a lucky cat to not have...

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    Thank you for your responses! After I read @catwoman707 post I wrote to the TNR group again, this time urging them about my situation and even included the photos of Fat Cat and Grey. They responded immediately! We have a meeting set up for this Sunday afternoon. They said it would be great if I...

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    @catwoman707 thank you so much for your fast response. I do think OG has FIV, and I suspect he may be the one who gave it to Oz since I noticed them two not getting along at all when Oz lived outdoors. Oz used to show up with fresh scratches on his nose after being chased away by OG. God, I hope...

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    Hi there, sorry I haven't replied sooner. I've been trying to implement @Molly92 advice on what I should do with BW's spraying. I immediately took one of my daughter's shirts and left it on his blanket after I read the post. He didn't spray anything that night which I was so relieved about, but...

    Hi @Chaucer ! Haven't logged in for awhile, just checking up on you and your cat babies. Poor Orville! He is such a sweet heart for still trying to win Henryetta's approval. He doesn't even strike back!  They look so adorable together (like siblings!) and I'm sure she'll give in to his ways...

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    @Chaucer thank you! It's sad yet amazing how Henryetta found her way into that abandoned house. I hope Grey has a warm place to stay at night. I have no idea where BW slept at night, he would just go to the back of my neighbor's house across the street but I couldn't see beyond the fence. I'm so...

    Awww I love seeing this photo!  A royal banquet :) Interesting to see how each boy approaches their relationship with Henryetta differently...so cute actually. And both are smart to know that girls rule and must be won over lol!

    I just took in a stray & EVERYTHING is going wrong! AND feral outside has abscess, I don't know what

    @Molly92 Thank you! LOL never a dull moment with this one. I think because of all the drama when I first took him in, I let my nerves get the better of me ever since. I think you are spot on, holding back on affection and having a third party break both of us in really helped...everything...
