Hi everyone! 
I need tips on how to socialize a new part-feral,neutered,male cat with my domesicated house cat. The part feral cat I had neutered 16 days ago. He has calmed down a lot with humans but not with my sweet,docile house cat named Kiki. Today there was another incidence where Samson was staring at Kiki (Kiki was in a cage),and Samson was showing other bodily signs of aggression. Last week Samson attacked Kiki out of the blue. Samson and Kiki where loose in the house for a few days together last week,and I was watching them very carefully. However suddenly Samson charged at Kiki and he attacked him...even after I sprayed Samson with vinegar water. Since the attack last week I have kept both cats in seperate rooms. Today I decided to allow the part-feral to have access to the room where my domesicated cat was inside of a cage. I have been alternating both of them into each others cages,and I have been petting both of them seperately then letting each cat smell the other cat's scent on my hands. I also pet each cat with the scent of the other cat on my hands. I have 2 cages,one in each room. Should I put both cages in the same room? How far apart should the cages be? ...or should I keep the cats seperated in different rooms?

The other option I have is find a home for Kiki my sweet,shy,docile rescued cat. I have been running ads back to back in our local newspaper for 3 months and posting "ads" in several Facebook groups for 3 months also. However I have not been able to find a home for Kiki either. Both Samson and Kiki would probably be best in a home as the only cat. Samson because he wants to fight with other cats,and Kiki because he will bond faster with a person if he is the only cat...I know this from experience. However if somebody is very patient it is possible both cats could live with other animals. I don't want any animals to get hurt by Sampson therefore I am very honest with everybody I talk to. I am also very honest about Kiki needing a quiet home. Because he needs a quiet home it has made it much more difficult to place him! I live in Beverly Hills,Florida and I would greatly appreciate anybody who would like to share both cats Facebook posts or share about them elsewhere. I have been rescuing mostly cats the past 17 years. I am strictly volunteer,I do rescue work on my own,and I don't receive any help or donations...very,very rarely has someone made a donation! I do the very best I can to help strays and feral cats as well as other animals. Over the past year I have developed severe allergies including being hypersensitive to cat and dog dander as well. I have put animals before myself many,many times in many ways. I hope with all of my heart I will find a loving home for both of these cats. When the animals finally go to wonderful homes that makes all of my pain and sacrifices worth it. I will be devastated if I am forced to bring Samson back to the woods where he use to live as a feral. I am desperate to find Samson...or Kiki a home immediately! They both can not live with me together!
