@jmarkitell I am so very sorry to learn of Callie's passing. You and he have been on my mind for the last few weeks. He came home to be with you and I am sure was comforted by your presence, your voice, and your kindness. Callie was a beautiful boy, and your words a beautiful tribute to him. RIP...

@jmarkitell, is there any way you could coax him into a trap? If I recall you said he was not neutered. That would certainly help to calm him down and maybe encourage him to stay around. All that good food he missed for so long should also help to keep him in place for a while. Catnip and fresh...

I read this and am doing a happy dance for you @jmarkitell - sooooooo happy for you and for Callie. What a great surprise you got this morning. Well deserved for all of your worry these months. You never gave up hope.

Yes, @Norachan, and it is summer and they have time to find their way to new shelter as well. Thanks for your encouragement.

@Norachan, you are absolutely correct about FIV. I now have 2 FIV positive cats. Good luck with the TNR, that is a wonderful thing to do for the colony.

Just an update - sad to report no progress had been made in locating the rest of the cats. I don't live in the area so it is difficult for me to check every day. I did manage to go to the neighborhood last Friday and explored a couple of the streets where the reported caretakers are located. I...

Hello @jmarkitell - so sorry Callie is not back. Oh, how I hate the wait! I saw an earlier post with his photo - he looks an awful lot like my Radar - former feral boy, now a full blown house cat. I coaxed him in from the winter weather last December, and while he was in and out for months, I...

@Norachan, yes, I do have a couple of photos and I had thought to go around the area and put some posters up with hope that one of the caretakers will see it and call me. And yes, my friend was the only one feeding them, the other tenants did nothing to help them. She was told by the landlord...

Maureen Brad I took your advice and early this morning sent a text message to the feral cat org. Volunteer and asked her to forward my contact information to the caretakers. I also sent a picture of one of the cats who was obviously someone's pet. We tried catching him as I had a firm commitment...

Hello @Norachan . I have not met any of the other feral cat caregivers, because the organization that keeps track of all this insists on confidentiality. They were able to give me the general vicinity of caregivers but no specific addresses or names. I walked the areas last week, they are quite...

@ondine thanks for the encouragement. You would think people would be understanding. Rather than cooperate they have decided to be obstructionists. My friend was forced out of her apartment and had to vacate last Friday. That was the last time we saw the remaining cats. I did a surveilance...

Hello, it has been a while since I posted. We have made very little progress with trapping and relocating the ferals that my friend is feeding. The stable idea did not pan out. One positive bit of news is that two weeks ago we managed to place one of the cats - a friendly older cat who was...

@ondine thank you so much! I need all the positive vibes on this adventure.

Hi @Norachan, thanks for weighing in on this problem. Yes, I do in fact have a drop trap. I purchased it last year as a last resort in trying to capture Redford. As it tuns out, I did manage to get Redford into a regular trap and never had to use the drop trap. I did keep it though, thinking I...
