Thank you for your persistence, and determination to trap him. He doesn't look too upset in the picture. So glad your vet agreed to see him today. Will be waiting to hear how it goes. Good luck.

Others that showed up this morning.
Happy to see an ear tip on this calico girl! I've only seen her twice, she doesn't get close, I was thinking she would be hard to trap, but I don't have to!
This girl is Arabellas sister. So also 8 years old. We are see her every time we go out. I have caught her grooming the injured guy. I think the first litter was hers.
This Siamese guy is always close when we are there! Happy to see he is ear tipped as well!
This is our friendlier guy Arthur. He has a URI. The caretaker has taken him to the vet several times. They combo tested him. Gave steroid shots, and tried three different antibiotics. I'm going to see if he will take Lysine treats. He is not neutered yet.
This not neutered guy is shy, but I have pet him while he was eating. He always picks fights with other cats when I see him. He has a wound on his chest, it's healing. We think he is the dad to Arabellas litter.
some of them eating after we trapped our injured guy.

Fantastic pictures! I'm amazed at how well you know the colony already! 
They are all beautiful, but OH MY! That last single picture! What a gorgeous cat he is!

Combo test was negative- yay! x-ray showed that his leg was definitely broken a while back and then it healed itself. He isn't in any pain. Probably had nerve damage. The break was on his thigh, he no longer has the ability to move his knee or foot, but can move the leg from his shoulder. He seems to get around ok (he ran from us long enough lol) so the vet doesn't think amputation is necessary, although we can have it done. His leg is none functional, but it is fine the way it is for now! Vet confirmed he is around 6-7 months old, healthy. Seems more fearful than feral. It is possible that he was thrown from a car to the colony, although there is no way to verify this. We are changing his name to Ghost!
What a relief! And it's a he!
Will he be neutered soon?

We will take him this Friday for his neuter! That is when we are hopefully taking a few others from the colony for spays/neuters! Trapping on Thursday!

He will be staying with us until a home can be found! He just appeared at the colony a few weeks ago so I think he was thrown out of a car- although who would know? I think he was a pet at one point. He is more fearful than feral. So I think socializing is possible!
Best news of the DAY!

We definitely have our hands full with all of the feral kittens and now him! Hoping we can get some adoptions of our other cats soon to relieve some of the stress! I am hoping there are no more kittens at this colony and we can get at least Arabelles sister and mom for this spay trip. They are the only other girls I have seen! I will have to ask the caretaker if there are more...

Isn't he beautiful?? He is definitely the bully of the colony though. He has started fights two days I have seen him. But he is unaltered as of now. I think the caretaker said he is a little over a year old.

Anyone have name ideas for my two litters of kittens?
Older litter is three girls and a boy, all tabbies... I am thinking "M" names since they all have "M"s on their foreheads?
Younger litter are all boys.
I like to theme name litters... So everyone starts with the same letter... or characters from a book or movie, etc.

Oh that's wonderful news. Well done!
Beautiful pictures too.
I'm having a good trapping week as well. Just one cat left to trap out of a colony of about 14. They've all gone to a No Kill shelter so they won't have to suffer another Japanese winter outdoors.
Happy Trapping to both of us for the remaining cats!

I am really hoping to get at least the girls done soon so that I don't get overwhelmed with more kittens lol.

Oh I love Alvin, Simon, and Theodore! They are chunky chipmunks!

Alvin, Theodore, and Simon! These three were at the golden age to socialize! All are very sweet and great me for food now. Their mom unfortunately has gotten more feral/upset/depressed the longer she is here. She has been feral for 8 years. She will be going back to the colony after her spay, she will be happier. I don't feel bad about it since the colony has such a great caretaker. These cats are so loved.
