Hello everyone,
This will be my first post here on this website so I will try to keep it as brief as possible.
We have decided to adopt a feral cat from a family friend as they are moving house soon and will not be able to take the cat with them due to their housemate being allergic to cats.
Before we decided to adopt the cat he was considering having her euthanized due to not being able to find her a home. Without question my mum decided to offer her a home.
The problem is, we already have three housecats. Two of which are 7 month old boys and the is a 2 year old female. They're all loverly cats but the female is quite wary of other cats.
What I'd like to know is, Is it possible to tame a feral cat? Are we doing the right thing by adopting her? We have no experience with feral cats but I couldn't bear the thought of her being put to sleep.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated,
Thank you.
