Hi everyone, I am new here and was researching how to help a feral I have, and this group kept popping up in the search and seems like just what I am looking for!!
I presently have a 10 year old feral in my basement. He became injured so I trapped him. He had to have one paw declawed because all of his toes were broken. He also has FIV and is fighting an upper respiratory. Obviously he cannot be released again. We built him a room in the basement and have turned it into a nice little area for him, but he is miserable. What can I put in there to bring a bit of the outside in? Sadly there is not really any sunlight so I am looking into some sort of sun lamp. Are there any types of grasses, small trees, etc. that are OK for cats that would grow in those conditions?
Any suggestions for certains types of things for him to play with?? I do have a radio playing.
I can already tell I have made some mistakes from reading these forums (making eye contact for one), so I am going to start from scratch and leave him alone for the most part for a few days. I hope it is not too late to start over. I have had him for about 3 months.
THANKS!
