Hi Everyone! Am really glad to find you all. There is tons information about socializing ferals on the NET but a lot seems contradictory. I've learned that mistakes can cause a BIG set back. Like Bigdogmom, I have 3 (older) feral kittens a couple of months old that were born under our deck. They're inside now, in their own room but are given run of the house ( 1 floor - cottage). I'm Mom now but am trying to get them used to other people as well. My question is: how can I pick them up & pet them? I figure that's the next step. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
