New resource for socializing ferals

[valanhb]

After working on this article for about 2 years, www.StrayPetAdvocacy.org has published an article/essay on socializing a feral cat. This comprehensive article takes you through preparations before bringing a feral cat into your home, all the way through to the first petting and what you can expect from your new feral family member.

Also a PDF version: http://www.straypetadvocacy.org/PDF/..._Feral_Cat.pdf

We hope that this article can help people find their way through the puzzle of taking a feral cat into their hearts and homes.

Thank you for taking the time to read it! It is a LONG article, but in all of my research I had never seen a real comprehensive guide to socializing a feral cat or kitten brought into a home.

And I really need to thank everyone here. There are so many people with different tips and tricks, as well as learning through participating and just watching various cats' progress through the forums, seeing what works and what doesn't, and seeing the wonderful results at the end of the process. So THANK YOU for giving me the majority of that article through the threads in this forum.

Very, very nice! I sure could have used that when I got my first feral kitten!

Thanks for all your hard work
