Hello,
I recently came into the care of two feral cats. My mother and I have been wanting cats for a while now because we've finally moved to a place that allows them. I recently started college and have been home quite a bit and miss having pets around. Anyway, the two cats that I have are both feral and I don't know if I should continue to keep them or should I return them to their colony. I've had them for about two weeks and have been working with them ever since to try to socialize them. They like to hide under my bed so I know they feel safe under there I never try to force them to do anything. I have food water and litterboxes for them to use so that's not an issue. I'm able to pet one of the cats and he likes being pet by the ear but only when coaxed with treats. But I'm not able to walk towards them or make any movement towards them because they run away. I just feel like I'm forcing them to live inside when they don't want to. I really like the kitties but I don't know if keeping them is what's best for them. Should I let them go back to their colony?
